The Bibimbap is a cookbook exclusive recipe…

This is my version of Bibimbap, a humble Korean beef rice bowl with marinated beef, rice, vegetables, egg and an incredible sauce. This recipe uses beef mince to keep costs down and it mixes with the rice perfectly! It has a few elements but you can prepare the seasoning and sauce in advance to save time.

What ingredients you will need

500-700g beef mince
bean sprouts
brown sugar or coconut sugar
carrots
cracked black pepper
garlic
gochujang paste (gluten-free if required) – The Woolworth’s gochujang is gluten free but very spicy. The Coles gochujang is milder but not gluten-free. You can get a wide range of different spice level gochujang from Asian supermarkets. We also have a dietary friendly recipe for gochujang.
honey
fresh shiitake mushrooms – if fresh isn’t available, you can also rehydrate some dried shiitake with boiling water before stir frying them.
olive oil
rice
rice wine vinegar
sesame oil
soy sauce
zucchinis
cucumber
eggs
Kimchi (optional) or Cheat’s Kimchi in SkinnyAsia
sesame seeds
spring onion

Tips & Dietary Needs

Protein swap – Feel free to swap for thinly sliced steak or chicken thigh. You could also use chicken, pork or lamb mince.
Don’t like bean sprouts or mushrooms? No problem! Just leave them out and assemble the bowl with your choice of salad/vegetables.
Boost the protein – Stir fry the rice with additional egg whites.
Gluten-free – check that your gochujang is gluten-free. You can get a GF one at Woolworths (pictured above) or Asian supermarkets.
Egg-free – simply omit the egg.
Low carb – replace rice with cauliflower rice and use compliant sauces/sweeteners.
Lower calorie – Halve gochujang, increase the vegetables, decrease the rice and use extra lean meat.
Go veggie – Double the mushrooms and scrambled tofu is delicious in this recipe.
Low Fodmap – Omit garlic and use 1 Tbsp garlic infused olive oil to pan-fry mince. Halve gochujang paste or use the compliant recipe on the website. Replace honey with maple syrup. Replace shiitake mushrooms with Oyster mushrooms and use green part only of spring onion. Omit Kimchi.
Spice Level – You can buy different heat levels of gochujang paste, i.e. mild, spicy and extra spicy. Taste a little bit if you are worried and reduce the gochujang paste if required.
What should i do with leftover bean sprouts? Make the Vietnamese Chicken Pho or Spring Roll Bowl.

From the Testing Team

Leia S – So obsessed with this & the Spring Roll Bowl. So easy yet so delicious .
Kylie W – We have never had this before so no idea of what to expect. I did not read the recipe and only had 500gm of mince sorry, and my sprouts were
Love the flavour of the meat & mushrooms. That sauce though is a winner for me, used the full 75gm of gochujang YUM!!
Angie G – Made for dinner tonight and absolutely loved it !!
Everything cooked within recipe time. The carrots had a bit of a crunch to them so might slice them a bit thinner next time.

Mince was perfectly seasoned. Loved the sauce, it was at right heat level for us ( used only 50g of gochunjang paste). Might double the sauce qty next time lol I poured quite a bit over my Mince & veggies

Chopped the shallots but lol was hungry and forgot to sprinkle some on my plate then when I finished eating I realized that I forgot the sesame seeds there’s always tomorrow !!

I cooked the eggs in my piemaker instead of frying them. At serving I topped the eggs with some Cheat’s Kimchi that I made the other day yumm

Will be making this dish quite often
