I am a person who cooks almost every day, and in order to change the dishes, I am always looking for inspiration. Whether I am watching TV, surfing the Internet, shopping, etc., I always pay attention to whether there are delicious and not too difficult foods to start with. , I just saw Korean bibimbap on TV a few days ago, and I just thought about why I only thought of such a delicious food now! I was a little scared when I looked it up online at first, but the more I looked at it, the more I realized it is not as difficult as I thought! Almost all ingredients can be prepared in advance, and even most vegetables are simply blanched and seasoned, perfect for weeknight dinners or work lunches!
I have always loved Korean food, and Korean kimchi and rice cakes are must-have ingredients in our refrigerator. I still remember that when I used to work in 101, I often ate Korean bibimbap from the food court downstairs. Korean bibimbap is actually very simple, but it’s just a little troublesome. Just for one bowl of bibimbap, I actually made 9 dishes! 9 dishes! When I was about to eat at the end, I felt like Mr. Chen owed me money, okay? A worthwhile meal. But luckily, I saw that he really loved this dish. While eating it, he rolled his eyes and said, "Its delicious~~~~~~", so it was worth it! I'm just saying that if I hadn't researched new dishes for my blog , otherwise he should have no choice but to eat lunch every day.
The following are the side dishes I made for bibimbap. I was too conscientious and frankly said it was a bit overdone (I also mixed the hot sauce in the upper right corner, so it is the correct number 9). I say bibimbap is very simple because it only requires one or two heavy flavors.Tasty side dishes (such as sliced ??meat or potatoes) with one or two light dishes (such as boiled spinach or bean sprouts) will be very rich. Finally, be sure to add hot sauce, poached eggs and kimchi to complete it! The following dishes are enough It is enough to make 5 large bowls of bibimbap, which is very cost-effective. It is really suitable for keeping in the refrigerator on weekends and making lunch or dinner for the whole week at once.
The focus of Korean bibimbap is spicy sauce and poached eggs, and the other side dishes are more casual. Share my Korean bibimbap recipe below:
Hot sauce + 1-2 heavy side dishes + 1-2 light side dishes
1. The highlight of bibimbap: Korean spicy sauce
I bought the base of the hot sauce at a Korean supermarket. There are many kinds of hot sauce, but since I can’t read Korean, I just pick a box every time. Anyway, the taste is almost the same (right?). This sauce cannot be eaten directly. It is very thick and salty, so it must be diluted.
Ingredients + Method: 2-3 tablespoons Korean hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar, 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon white sesame seeds, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1/2 tsp minced garlic. Just stir all the ingredients together.
2. Strong flavor side dishes: 1-2 samples of meat or vegetables
Heavy side dishesIt can be replaced with sliced ??meat or a generous portion of vegetables, such as potatoes or eggplant. I share 3 samples below.
Garlic pork or beef slices: Mix 250g of meat slices with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of white vinegar, 3-4 minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil, then marinate the meat. . If its too salty, add water. Marinate for about 10 minutes and then fry until cooked.
Sweet Sauce Potatoes: Cut 2 potatoes into cubes and fry the outside in a little oil for about 5 minutes. Then add 1 bowl of cold water, 2-3 minced garlic, 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, a little salt and white sesame seeds, and cook over medium-low heat until the soup dries up and the potatoes become soft.
Korean Eggplant: Cut 2-3 eggplants into cubes and fry the outside with a little oil for about 2 minutes. Then add 1-2 tsp Korean chili sauce, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp wine, 1 tsp minced garlic, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1/2 tsp white sesame seeds and continue frying until the eggplant becomes soft and cooked. It will cook faster if covered with a lid.
3. Light side dishes: 1-2 vegetables
Light vegetables are the best to prepare. Most of them are boiled vegetables and then served cold with minced garlic and a little sesame oil. Here are some suggestions:
Spinach: Boil the spinach for about 1-2 minutes, squeeze out the water, stir-fry it with sesame oil and a little salt or serve it cold.
Bean sprouts: Boil the bean sprouts for about 1-2 minutes.
Shredded carrots: Fry shredded radish in a little oil for 3-5 minutes until slightly soft, then add a little salt and pepper.
Refreshing Korean kimchi
Dry-fried shiitake mushrooms: Fry the shiitake mushrooms in a little oil until they are dry and lightly browned on both sides. Finally, add a little salt and pepper.
That’s it! Is it easier than you think? This is my Korean bibimbap recipe. I hope you all like it! When we were eating, I competed with Mr. Chen to see who could put the bibimbap on the plate. Shes more beautiful. Who do you think won? Of course its me! Hehe
Happy Cooking! x, Lilly
