While it translates to mixed cooked rice, it's so much more than that. A blend of garlic and ginger complements the beef, egg, and rice mixture, while baby spinach, carrots, and mushrooms are sprinkled throughout the dish. While most of the ingredients in this recipe are basics, you might not recognize gochujang. This red chili paste is a popular condiment in Korean cooking, It's thick and spicy, and it adds incredible depth of flavor to any meal it's added to. Alongside the chili paste, it also contains glutinous rice, fermented soybeans, salt, and sometimes sweeteners. Make sure you check the heat levels on the packaging before you buy, as they can vary by brand. Our bibimbap recipe leaves it up to you whether you add additional toppings like matchstick carrots, sliced green onions, black pepper, and fried eggs. But for the record, fried eggs are a bibimbap staple and if you've got them on hand, it won't hurt to try them out and taste the full range of this traditional Korean dish.
