Korean Bibimbap

Korean meals are so awesome because you are encouraged to share and try lots of sides.  Bibimbap is a staple Korean dish. It’s basically a bowl of steamed rice served with various vegetables (fresh or sautéed), a fried egg, some protein (red meat, chicken, tuna or tofu) and the sauce.

Bowl Ingredients (2 servings):

• 4 + of any of your favorite veggies chopped up (zucchini, carrots, mushrooms, pepper, bean sprouts, sauteed greens, etc.)
• 1 fried egg
• 1 cup of cooked brown rice
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: Leftover meat
• Optional: Kimchi (fermented spicy veggies – sold at Asian Store)

Sauce (kid friendly) Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup soy sauce (or coconut aminos – gluten and soy free)
• 2 squirts honey or agave
• 4 tsp toasted sesame seeds
• 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
• 1 tsp minced garlic

Instructions:

1. While the rice is cooking, fry 1 egg in a pan, chop up all your veggies, and make sauce mixture.
2. Sautee veggies lightly with a little of the sauce.
3. Throw rice into the bowl and top with veggies and a fried egg in the middle.
4. Top with sauce, as desired.  If you like it spicy, add kimchi or sriracha.
