How to make Korean Beef Bibimbap
- Step 1
Place sushi rice in a medium pot and run water over it. Wash the rice by rubbing it between your hands. Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Then add the same amount of water to the pot as rice. Bring the pot to a boil, then turn down the heat to the lowest setting. Cover the pot with a lid and cook for 15 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed. Turn off the heat and keep the lid on the pot for 10 minutes, then mix the rice and taste if it's cooked.
- Step 2
Pour the sugar, a little salt & apple cider vinegar over the rice & mix through with a fork. Transfer the rice to a bowl & set aside.
- Step 3
Make the gochujang paste: blend all ingredients together into a smooth paste. Add a little water to thin out if needed. Marinate the beef strips with half of the gochujang paste & the light soy sauce. Cover & set aside to marinate for about 20 min.
- Step 4
Heat a clean wok until smoking hot. Add a little sesame oil and flash fry the carrots. Season with salt and pepper. They should still be crunchy. Remove the carrots from the wok.
- Step 5
Heat the wok again until smoking hot. Add a little more sesame oil and flash fry the pak choi. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the wok.
- Step 6
Follow the same step to flash fry the mushrooms. Make sure your pan is smoking hot for the mushrooms to create a good seal on them.
- Step 7
Heat a wok until smoking hot. Add a little vegetable oil, then flash fry the beef strips until you get a caramelized color on the outside. Set the beef aside.
- Step 8
Heat a pan on low heat, add a little vegetable oil & fry your eggs on very low heat to sunny side up.
- Step 9
Get your bowl ready and arrange rice, then colorful veggies, then beef strips.
- Step 10
Place the egg on top of the beef, & top with a dollop of the gochujang paste. Sprinkle the dish with black sesame seeds.

FAQS
How do I properly cook sushi rice for Korean Beef Bibimbap?
To cook sushi rice for your Bibimbap, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Then, use a 1:1 ratio of rice to water, bring it to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes. Let it sit covered for an additional 10 minutes before fluffing it with a fork.
What are some good substitutions for beef in Korean Bibimbap?
If you're looking for a meat substitute in your Bibimbap, you can use chicken, tofu, or tempeh. For a vegetarian option, consider using marinated mushrooms or a mix of hearty vegetables to maintain the dish's flavor and texture.
How can I store leftover Korean Beef Bibimbap?
To store leftover Bibimbap, place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to 3 days. When reheating, add a splash of water to the rice to prevent it from drying out and heat it in the microwave or on the stovetop.
What vegetables pair well with Korean Beef Bibimbap?
In addition to carrots, pak choi, and mushrooms, you can add other vegetables like zucchini, spinach, or bell peppers to your Bibimbap. These veggies not only enhance the flavor but also add vibrant colors to your dish.
Is Korean Beef Bibimbap suitable for a gluten-free diet?
To make Korean Beef Bibimbap gluten-free, substitute the soy sauce with a gluten-free tamari or coconut aminos. Ensure that your gochujang paste is also gluten-free, as some brands may contain wheat.
