Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by washing all your ingredients thoroughly. Julienne the cucumber and carrot into thin strips. Wash and drain the salad greens.
Step 2
Gently rinse the fresh halibut fillet under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. (Tip: Freshness is key! It’s best to prepare the halibut right before assembling the bibimbap, after all other prep is done.)
Step 3
Now, let’s make the delicious spicy and sweet gochujang sauce. In a small bowl, combine gochujang, vinegar, clear soda, plum extract, sugar, gochugaru, and minced garlic. Stir everything together until well combined.
Step 4
Slice the halibut fillet into bite-sized pieces. Aim for thin slices so they integrate well with the rice and vegetables.
Step 5
Place the warm rice into a serving bowl. Arrange the julienned cucumber, carrot, and salad greens attractively around the rice. Carefully place the sliced halibut on top.
Step 6
Drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the halibut for a nutty finish. (Tip: For an alternative presentation, you can add the sauce and sesame oil directly onto the rice before topping with ingredients, or serve the sauce and sesame oil in small dipping bowls on the side.)
Step 7
And there you have it! Your fresh Halibut Bibimbap is ready. The chewy halibut, crisp vegetables, and the zesty gochujang sauce create a delightful symphony of flavors and textures in this satisfying one-bowl meal. Enjoy!
