Aromatic Minari Bibimbap
Healthy and Flavorful Bibimbap Made with Freshly Seasoned Minari
Let’s make a delicious bibimbap filled with refreshingly seasoned minari, bursting with the flavors of spring. This dish offers a healthy and vibrant meal.
Ingredients for Minari Bibimbap
- 2 bowls of cooked rice
- Generous amount of fresh minari (for seasoning)
- 2 Tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 2 eggs (for frying)
- 2 Tbsp sesame oil
- Plenty of sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the minari thoroughly and drain excess water. Cut it into bite-sized pieces, about 3-4 cm long. Place the cut minari in a large bowl. Add 1 Tbsp of gochujang, 1 Tbsp of sesame oil, and a pinch of sesame seeds. Gently mix everything together. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the minari mushy. Add the remaining 1 Tbsp of gochujang and 1 Tbsp of sesame oil to enhance the flavor, and finally, sprinkle generously with sesame seeds to complete the fragrant minari seasoning.
Step 2
Next, fry the eggs in a pan with a little oil. Cook them to your preference, either sunny-side up (half-cooked yolk) or fully cooked. A sunny-side up egg with a runny yolk adds richness and creaminess to the bibimbap.
Step 3
Now, prepare a large bowl to assemble the bibimbap. Add 2 generous bowls of warm cooked rice to the bowl. If the rice is too hot, the other ingredients might cook prematurely, so letting out a little steam beforehand can be helpful.
Step 4
Arrange the freshly seasoned minari generously over the rice. The vibrant green minari, embodying the freshness of spring, will beautifully top the rice.
Step 5
If you’d like a bit more heat, add 1 Tbsp of gochujang on top of the rice, according to your taste. The sweet and spicy gochujang will enhance the overall savory flavor of the bibimbap.
Step 6
Carefully place the fried egg on top of the rice and seasoned minari. The golden-brown fried egg will add both deliciousness and visual appeal to your dish.
Step 7
Finally, drizzle with 1 Tbsp of sesame oil for a nutty aroma and sprinkle generously with sesame seeds for a beautiful finish. Your delicious-looking minari bibimbap is now ready!
Step 8
Using your spoon, gently mix all the ingredients – the rice, seasoned minari, gochujang, and fried egg – until well combined. As you mix, the flavors will meld together beautifully, creating a harmonious taste.
Step 9
Now, take a big bite! You’ll be delighted by the fresh, fragrant aroma of minari combined with the savory, sweet, and spicy notes. Enjoy this incredibly delicious and healthy meal that fully captures the essence of spring! ^^
