Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Protein

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 4 eggs

Vegetables

  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 cup zucchini, sliced
  • 1 cup bean sprouts

Grains

  • 2 cups short-grain white rice, cooked

Sauces and Oils

  • 3 tbsp gochujang sauce (adjust for spice level)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice: Prepare the short-grain white rice according to package instructions and set it aside to keep warm.
  2. Brown the beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the lean ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  3. Season the beef: Stir in the gochujang sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, and sesame oil into the browned beef. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
  4. Sauté the vegetables: In a separate pan, heat some sesame oil over medium heat. Sauté the carrots, spinach, zucchini, and bean sprouts until they are tender-crisp, about 7 minutes.
  5. Fry the eggs: In a nonstick skillet, fry the eggs sunny-side up until the whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny, approximately 3 minutes.
  6. Assemble the bibimbap bowls: Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top each with the seasoned beef mixture, sautéed vegetables, and finish with a fried egg on top. Optionally, drizzle additional gochujang sauce over the bowl for extra spice.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of gochujang sauce to make the dish more or less spicy according to preference.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content without sacrificing flavor.
  • Feel free to swap vegetables based on seasonal availability or personal preference.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground beef with marinated tofu or mushrooms and omit the eggs.
  • Cook rice ahead of time or use a rice cooker to streamline preparation.
