How To Make quick and easy bibimbap

  • Step 1
    Cook rice according to directions on package.
  • Step 2
    Saute mushrooms in pan with 1 tsp sesame oil for 1-2 min on high heat. Sprinkle with soy sauce near the end of cook time. Set aside.
  • Step 3
    Continue cooking all veggies this way individually in the same pan, setting aside each time. Veggies should be crisp-tender. When you add the spinach, add minced garlic at the same time. The spinach will wilt, not be crisp, btw!
  • Step 4
    Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil over med-high heat, then cook ground meat for 7-8 min until fully cooked and remove from pan.
  • Step 5
    Heat the same pan on high and add egg. (You may have to give a quick spray of cooking spray or a splash of olive oil.) Cook for a few seconds, then remove from heat and let the egg continue to cook in hot pan off heat until yolks appear runny but whites are mostly cooked.
  • Step 6
    Add 1/4 cup rice to each bowl. Place veggies and beef in circle around bowl. Top with egg, then sprinkle bowl with sesame seeds and serve.
