Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups short-grain white rice
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 lb ribeye or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 tsp grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 1 small zucchini, julienned
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp oil (neutral, like canola or grapeseed)
  • 2 tbsp gochujang
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp water
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Additional chopped green onions (optional)
  • Seaweed strips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice until water runs clear. Cook it with 2 1/2 cups water in a rice cooker or pot. Let rest covered for 10 minutes once cooked.
  2. Mix soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, garlic, ginger, and pepper in a bowl. Marinate the sliced beef for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Blanch bean sprouts and spinach for 30 seconds each, rinse under cold water, squeeze dry, and season with salt and sesame oil.
  4. Sauté carrots and zucchini separately in sesame oil for 2–3 minutes. Set all vegetables aside.
  5. Whisk together gochujang, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar, and water to make the sauce. Adjust spice to taste.
  6. Cook the marinated beef over medium-high heat for 3–5 minutes until caramelized.
  7. Fry the eggs sunny side up in neutral oil, keeping the yolk runny.
  8. In each bowl, place rice at the bottom. Arrange vegetables and beef on top. Add the egg in the center, drizzle with sauce, and sprinkle sesame seeds. Mix just before eating.

Notes

  • Prep and store all ingredients separately to make quick bibimbap bowls throughout the week.
  • Use a hot skillet for caramelizing beef quickly without overcooking.
  • Adjust gochujang sauce to your preferred heat and sweetness level for balance.
