Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Jasmine or short-grain white rice
- 4 cups Water
- 200 grams Lean ground beef
- 200 grams Firm tofu, cubed
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 large Carrot, julienned
- 200 grams Spinach leaves
- 150 grams Mung bean sprouts
- 200 grams Cooked chicken breast, sliced
- 4 large Eggs
- 4 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 2 tablespoons White sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
Instructions
Cook the rice: In a medium saucepan, add the rice and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
Prepare the beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic (1 clove) and saute for 1 minute. Add the ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Stir in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
Prepare the tofu: In the same skillet, add the cubed firm tofu. Cook over medium-high heat until browned on all sides. Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and cook for two more minutes. Remove and set aside.
Cook the vegetables: In a clean skillet, add the remaining sesame oil. Saute the spinach with a pinch of salt until wilted. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, saute the carrots for 3 minutes until crisp-tender, then add the mung bean sprouts for the last minute.
Cook the eggs: In a separate non-stick pan, fry the eggs sunny-side-up. The yolk should be runny to mix with the rice later.
Assemble the Bi Bim Bap: Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Arrange the beef, tofu, chicken breast slices, spinach, carrots, and mung bean sprouts over the rice. Place a fried egg on top of each bowl.
Garnish and serve: Add a tablespoon of gochujang to each bowl. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately and encourage mixing before eating.
