Bibimbap Ingredients- 2 bowls of corn rice or regular cooked rice
- 6 Tbsp Squid and Scallion Kimchi (well-aged in kimchi refrigerator)
- 3 forkfuls of seasoned bean sprouts
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 2 fried eggs
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the fried eggs, the crowning glory of this delicious bibimbap. A sunny-side-up egg will add an extra layer of creamy texture.
Step 2
Wash the bean sprouts thoroughly and blanch them in boiling water. Drain the cooked bean sprouts and rinse them under cold water. Gently mix them with salt, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Avoid adding minced garlic or chopped scallions to preserve the refreshing taste of the bean sprouts.
Step 3
In a bowl, place 2 generous servings of corn rice or warm regular cooked rice. Using corn rice adds a subtle sweetness and nutty flavor, making the dish even more special.
Step 4
Prepare the star of this dish: Squid and Scallion Kimchi. (For a detailed recipe on how to make Squid and Scallion Kimchi, please refer to this link: https://blog.naver.com/koreastencil/222941207997) It’s crucial to age Squid and Scallion Kimchi in a kimchi refrigerator or a regular refrigerator at a low temperature to maintain freshness. Do not ferment it at room temperature, as the squid can spoil.
Step 5
Artfully arrange the seasoned bean sprouts and Squid and Scallion Kimchi over the rice. Since the kimchi provides the seasoning for the bibimbap, consider adding a bit more kimchi than bean sprouts, according to your preference.
Step 6
Finally, place the warm fried egg, prepared in step 1, on top. Breaking the yolk and mixing it with the rice creates a truly magnificent flavor.
Step 7
For the finishing touch, drizzle 1 tsp of fragrant sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Your delicious Squid and Scallion Kimchi Bibimbap is now complete! The tender squid, crisp bean sprouts, and savory egg come together in perfect harmony, creating a rich and delightful taste experience in every bite.
