Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing all the ingredients for your bibimbap. Wash the fresh sprouts thoroughly and have the whelk can ready to drain the liquid.
Step 2
Prepare a generous mix of sprouts. You can use varieties like red leaf mustard sprouts, radish sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, clover sprouts, broccoli sprouts, and red cabbage sprouts. Place them in a colander, rinse gently a few times under running water, and drain well. Be careful not to wash too vigorously, as the delicate sprouts can be damaged.
Step 3
Let’s make the delicious Yag-Gochujang sauce. While ‘Haechanle’ Yag-Gochujang is tasty on its own, we’ll create a more zesty and sweet sauce by mixing it with the other ingredients. Feel free to adjust the seasonings – more or less spice, sweetness, or tang – to suit your personal preference. Simply combine all the sauce ingredients and stir well until you have your custom sauce.
Step 4
Prepare the canned whelks. Open the can, drain the contents, and cut the whelk pieces in half. Reserve the liquid from the can to add to your sauce, which will enhance its savory depth.
Step 5
Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium heat. Crack the quail eggs into the pan and fry them. You can cook them sunny-side up with a runny yolk or fully cooked, depending on your preference. Using a regular chicken egg fried is also a great option!
Step 6
Place the warm serving of rice into a large bowl. Generously pile the prepared fresh sprouts on top of the rice. The colorful variety of sprouts adds a vibrant freshness to the bibimbap.
Step 7
Arrange the halved whelks generously over the sprouts. The chewy texture of the whelks provides a wonderful contrast to the crispness of the sprouts, creating a truly captivating combination.
Step 8
Finally, place the golden-fried quail egg on top for a beautiful finish. Drizzle your delicious custom sauce over everything. For an extra touch of aroma, you can add a little sesame oil and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Your chewy and fresh whelk bibimbap is now complete! Mix well and enjoy!
