Bibimbap means "mixed rice" in Korean, and the magic happens when you stir all the colorful toppings together. Each vegetable is seasoned individually, creating layers of flavor in every bite.
Cook short-grain rice and keep warm; optionally crisp the bottom in a hot stone bowl with sesame oil.
Sauté each vegetable separately in sesame oil with a pinch of salt: blanch spinach, sauté carrot, zucchini, and bean sprouts.
Cook marinated beef in a hot skillet until caramelized, about 3 minutes per side.
Fry eggs sunny-side up in a non-stick pan until whites are set but yolks remain runny.
Arrange rice in bowls, top with vegetables and beef in sections, place egg on top, and serve with gochujang sauce.
Serve over steamed jasmine or sticky rice
Pair with a side of pickled vegetables or kimchi
Add a drizzle of sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds for extra flavor
Marinate the same way with soy, sesame, and garlic
Not identical but provides similar heat and umami
