Instructions
Each ingredient is cooked separately and set aside. You can make a bigger batch to keep them in the fridge for 3 days for more bibimbap or summer noodle dishes.
Eggplant
- Cut eggplant into strips and drizzle oil on the heated frying pan.
- Stir fry the eggplant until nice and soft, then add Leek miso and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
Oyster mushrooms
- Tear oyster mushrooms (or cut crimini or shiitake) into strips, then stir fry on medium-high heat (if the heat is low, they produce too much water).
- Add the seasoning listed above or simply use Leek Miso.
Swiss chard
- Place chopped chards on the heated pan then add 2 Tbsp of water and add a sprinkle of salt (roughly 1⁄4 tsp more or less).
- Cook until the leaves are wilted and water evaporates. Set this aside.
Spinach
- Same as swiss chard and finish with a dash of toasted sesame oil to finish.
Bell pepper
- Slice the pepper into thin strips. You can use raw or stir fry quickly.
Assemble bibimbap
- Put 1-1.5 cups of cooked rice in a deep noodle bowl and place prepared veggies around the rice. Drizzle the sauce of choice (either Gochujang or soy sauce or both). Mix all the ingredients well until rice is coated with the sauce without any white lumps of rice.
Notes
* You can simply use just Gochujang and sesame oil too.
** This infused olive oil surprisingly tastes and smells like toasted sesame oil, so if you are allergic to sesame seeds, you can replace it with this oil.
