How to make Bibimbap?
1)First of all, take a little bit of oil and heat some garlic in it. Put some sugar and saute the pak choy in it. Don’t cook it. Just saute it lightly and keep aside.
2) In the same pan, pour some sesame oil, and a little garlic thereafter. Now, put the carrot and saute it lightly. Keep it aside. Remember that you do not have to overcook anything.
3) Now, in the same pan, saute the mushrooms with a little oil, chopped garlic and soy sauce.
4) It’s the time for plating. The chef has stated that plating makes for an important part of this recipe. The overall dish looks utterly beautiful in the end. She also explained the meaning of Bibimbap. Ananya stated that Bibim means “everything mixed together” and bap refers to “rice.”
5) For plating, first, spread a good amount of rice evenly on a plate. Then, place some cucumber as shown in the video followed by sauteed carrots, pak choy and mushrooms.
6) After placing the ingredients, drizzle the dish with the special sauce (that you need to prepare by mixing gochujang, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and garlic) on top. The chef also said that the crowning glory of the dish will be fried egg.
7) At the end, make the fried egg sunny side up. Just sprinkle some salt on it and put it nicely on the platter you decorated. Shower the dish with some black and white sesame seeds for the final touch.
