Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s make the key component of this delicious bibimbap: the gochujang sauce. In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp of gochujang, 1 tsp of honey, 1 tsp of minced garlic, 1 tsp of sesame oil, 1 tsp of sesame seeds, and 1 tsp of plum extract. Mix thoroughly with a spoon until well combined. Feel free to adjust the amount of honey or plum extract to your preference to find your perfect sweet and savory balance!
Step 2
For a soft texture, lightly blanch the tofu before preparing it. Dip the tofu in boiling water for about 1 minute, then rinse it under cold water. Once drained, gently mash the tofu with a fork or spoon, or finely chop it with a knife. This will help it blend beautifully with the rice.
Step 3
It’s important to wash the fresh bean sprouts thoroughly. Gently rinse them under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Afterward, drain them completely in a colander. Ensuring the sprouts are well-drained will prevent the bibimbap from becoming watery and soggy.
Step 4
Now, place the brown rice (or mixed grain rice) nicely in a bowl. Generously top the rice with the well-drained fresh bean sprouts, adding a vibrant splash of color. The colorful vegetables not only make the dish visually appealing but also boost its nutritional value.
Step 5
Arrange the softly mashed tofu over the bean sprouts. Shape it appealingly so that the rice, sprouts, and tofu harmonize well together. The mild tofu adds a satisfying fullness, making this a hearty and complete meal.
Step 6
Finally, serve the delicious spicy and sweet gochujang sauce you prepared. Add a desired amount of the sauce on top of the bibimbap and get ready to mix! Mix all the ingredients thoroughly and enjoy. You can also add a fried egg or some crumbled seaweed (gim) to enhance the flavor, according to your preference.
