Main Ingredients- Fresh Sea Squirt 200g
- Crisp Lettuce 2 leaves
- Fresh Green Chili Pepper 1
- Sprouts 50g
- Cooked Rice 1 bowl
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Gently rinse the sea squirts under running water, shaking them slightly to remove any dirt or debris. This ensures they are clean and ready to enjoy their unique, refreshing ocean flavor.
Step 2
Wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly and pat them dry. Trim the stems off the green chili pepper and wash it clean.
Step 3
Lightly rinse the sprouts under cool water. For extra freshness and to remove any potential impurities, soak them in cool water for about 10 minutes. Afterwards, drain them well in a colander.
Step 4
Prepare one bowl of warm, cooked rice.
Step 5
Begin by arranging the fresh sprouts attractively over the rice in the bowl. Their crisp texture adds a delightful crunch to the dish.
Step 6
Thinly shred the lettuce leaves. For best results, you can cut them into strips about 1 cm wide using a knife or a mandoline slicer.
Step 7
Add the gochujang sauce, starting with 2 tablespoons, according to your preference. This sweet and spicy sauce is key to the bibimbap’s flavor profile. Feel free to add more if you enjoy a spicier kick.
Step 8
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over the ingredients for a nutty aroma and rich flavor. Sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds on top to enhance the taste and texture.
Step 9
Finally, artfully arrange the prepared fresh sea squirts on top of the rice and vegetables. Their firm, slightly chewy texture is a highlight of this dish.
Step 10
Finely chop the green chili pepper or snip it into small pieces with scissors. Scatter it over the bibimbap as a garnish. This adds a touch of crispness and a subtle heat, completing the visually appealing and delicious Sea Squirt Bibimbap. Enjoy your meal!
