Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 4 cups cooked rice
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1 medium zucchini, julienned
- 2 cups spinach
- 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks scallions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 4 egg
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and place in a medium bowl.
In the bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, ginger, and honey. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade and ensure they are well coated. Let marinate for at least 15-20 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the gochujang, rice vinegar, and a splash of water to thin it out. Set aside as the sauce.
Heat a tablespoon of cooking oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil. Sauté the carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, and bean sprouts separately until they are tender but still crisp. Add a pinch of salt to taste for each vegetable. Set each cooked vegetable aside in separate piles.
Boil or steam the spinach briefly, just until wilted. Drain and gently squeeze out any excess water. Season with a small drizzle of sesame oil and a pinch of salt.
In a clean pan, fry the eggs sunny side up or to your preference.
To assemble the bibimbap, divide the cooked rice evenly among four bowls.
Arrange the cooked chicken, assorted vegetables, and spinach around the sides of each bowl, leaving the center open.
Place a sunny-side egg on top of each bowl, right in the center.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced scallions. Serve with the prepared gochujang sauce drizzled on top or on the side for each person to mix in to taste.
