Hearty and Refreshing Radish Kimchi Bibimbap: A Quick One-Bowl Meal!
Super Easy One-Bowl Meal: Delicious Radish Kimchi Bibimbap
The radish kimchi I made not long ago has ripened perfectly, so I decided to make a delicious bibimbap with it. This recipe is incredibly simple and is a fantastic way to enjoy well-fermented kimchi. It’s perfect for a quick and satisfying meal!
Main Ingredients
- 2/3 bowl warm cooked rice
- 100g well-fermented radish kimchi, solids only
- 1 fresh egg
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the star ingredient: the radish kimchi. Drain the solids from your flavorful radish kimchi and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Cutting them into manageable sizes ensures a pleasant texture in every bite, making it easier to eat.
Step 2
Now, let’s make a delicious and perfectly cooked egg. Lightly coat a frying pan with cooking oil and heat it over medium-low heat. Crack the egg into the pan and cook it to your desired doneness. For a runny yolk, gently break it just before serving; for a well-done egg, cook until the yolk is firm.
Step 3
Transfer the warm, freshly cooked rice into a serving bowl. It’s best to use rice that’s warm but not piping hot, as excessively hot rice can slightly soften the crispness of the radish kimchi.
Step 4
Arrange the prepared toppings over the rice. Generously add the chopped radish kimchi solids on top. Next, add 2 tablespoons of stir-fried gochujang for a savory and slightly spicy kick. You can increase the amount or add chopped chili peppers if you prefer it spicier.
Step 5
Carefully place the fried egg on top of the rice. Finish by drizzling a generous amount of fragrant sesame oil over everything. The nutty aroma of the sesame oil will elevate the overall flavor profile of your bibimbap.
Step 6
Finally, sprinkle a pinch of toasted sesame seeds or ground sesame seeds for an extra layer of nutty flavor and visual appeal. Your bibimbap is now complete! Mix all the ingredients together with a spoon or chopsticks and enjoy. The delightful crunch of the radish kimchi, the creamy egg, and the spicy-sweet gochujang create a truly wonderful taste sensation!
