Essential Ingredients
- 1.5 bowls cooked rice
- 2 eggs
- 5 fresh lettuce leaves
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare a sunny-side-up egg with a runny yolk. This adds a wonderful richness to the bibimbap.
Step 2
Place the warm cooked rice (about 1.5 bowls) into a large serving bowl. Tear the fresh lettuce leaves into bite-sized pieces by hand and artfully arrange them around the edge of the bowl, atop the rice. The freshness of the greens will greatly enhance the overall flavor.
Step 3
In the center of the bowl, place a generous portion of the crisp perilla leaf salad. While delicious on its own, it needs a little something extra to achieve a deeper flavor profile.
Step 4
Here comes the star ingredient that elevates the flavor! It’s the crunchy scallion kimchi, made with plenty of fresh green onions.
Step 5
Pile the well-fermented, savory scallion kimchi on top of the perilla leaf salad. The deep flavor of the aged kimchi and the refreshing taste of the perilla salad will create a fantastic harmony. This combination delivers a delicious tangy and spicy kick, eliminating the need for extra gochujang.
Step 6
Finally, gently place the prepared sunny-side-up egg right in the center. Drizzle with a teaspoon of fragrant sesame oil and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for extra nutty flavor. Your ‘Scallion Kimchi & Perilla Leaf Bibimbap’ is now complete, easily made with simple ingredients from your fridge for a satisfying meal!
