Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 cups white rice
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 2 cups spinach
- 1 large carrot, julienned
- 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 scallions, chopped
Instructions
Cook the 2 cups of white rice according to package instructions and set aside.
In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, 1 tablespoon gochujang, and honey. Add salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining gochujang with rice vinegar and a splash of water to make the bibimbap sauce, then set aside.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken, cooking until browned and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside.
In the same skillet, add another splash of sesame oil and quickly sauté the spinach until just wilted. Season with salt and set aside.
In separate small piles, sauté the carrot and bean sprouts for about 2-3 minutes each until tender but still crisp. Do not mix them together. Set aside.
Fry the eggs sunny side up in a pan and set aside.
To assemble bibimbap: Place a serving of rice in each bowl. Arrange the chicken, spinach, carrot, cucumber, and bean sprouts around the edges of the bowl, leaving the center open.
Place a fried egg in the center of each bowl.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped scallions over the top.
Drizzle a spoonful of the bibimbap sauce over everything and serve with additional sauce on the side.
