Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s prepare a delicious bean sprout bibimbap right at home! This dish combines the satisfying crunch of bean sprouts with a zesty seasoning sauce, making it a perfect, invigorating meal. Let’s get started!
Step 2
First, let’s prepare the star ingredient: the bean sprouts. Rinse 300g of bean sprouts thoroughly under cold running water. In a pot, combine the bean sprouts with 1/2 cup (100ml) of water. Cover the pot and blanch over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become mushy. Blanched bean sprouts should retain a pleasant crispness. Once cooked, drain them in a colander and let them cool slightly.
Step 3
Next, we’ll make the flavorful seasoning sauce that brings the bibimbap to life. In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup (100ml) of soy sauce, 1 Tbsp gochugaru, 2 tsp sugar, 1 tsp minced garlic, 1 Tbsp sesame oil, and a pinch of toasted sesame seeds. For a touch of heat, add 3 finely chopped Cheongyang peppers. Whisk all the ingredients together until well combined. Feel free to adjust the amount of chili peppers to your spice preference.
Step 4
Now, let’s prepare the cucumber garnish for a fresh contrast. Wash half a cucumber and thinly julienne it. Set the prepared cucumber aside in a small bowl.
Step 5
It’s time to assemble our delicious bean sprout bibimbap! Start by placing two servings of warm cooked rice into a bowl. Artfully arrange the blanched bean sprouts and julienned cucumber on top of the rice. Finally, drizzle your desired amount of the prepared seasoning sauce over everything. Grab your chopsticks or spoon and mix everything together thoroughly. Enjoy your delicious, homemade bibimbap! For an extra treat, consider topping it with a fried egg.
