It’s a real food trend; eat from a bowl, in other words bowl food. Because you eat all the ingredients from one bowl, you create quickly a comfort food feeling. A program that I like to watch is Masterchef USA (or Australia) and the candidates had to create their own version of the Korean Bibimbap. I had never heard of it but Bibimbap literally means “mixed rice”. It’s certainly a very colorful recipe that looks very tasty (and tastes like).

Recipe Korean Bibimbap.

Bibimbap is a mixture of rice, meat, vegetables that are heated briefly and eggs. Officially you eat Bibimbap with a raw egg. When all ingredients are hot, the egg will cook in the bowl once you mix everything. It’s worth a try but for now I added a fried egg to my Bibimbap.

Ingredients (4 people).

• 300 grams of basmati rice
• 400 grams of minced beef
• 1 onion
• 1 spring onion
• 2 cloves of garlic
• handful of bean sprouts
• 1 carrot
• 1 cucumber
• 200 grams of fresh spinach
• 100 grams of shiitake mushrooms
• 4 eggs
• soy sauce
• sesame oil
• ginger sauce

How to prepare.

• Cut the onion into small piece and press the 2 cloves of garlic. Fry together briefly, when the onion is translucent, add the beef.
• Add some soy sauce to the mixture, stir well and cook over low heat.
• Cook the rice.
• Cut the spring onion into rings and fry them briefly along with the bean sprouts. Drizzle with sesame oil and keep separately on a plate or bowl.
• Cut the shiitake mushrooms into slices, add some soy sauce and sesame oil and fry until almost crisp. Also keep this separate.
• Put the spinach in a pan and cook until the leaves are shrunk. Add some salt to it and sprinkle some sesame oil over it.
• Drain the rice and pour some ginger sauce over it. Stir well, it makes the rice sweeter.
• Cut the cucumber and carrots into pieces.
• Fry the four eggs.
• Serve the rice in the bowls, put in the center the fried egg on top of the rice and place the vegetables and the meat around the egg.

Enjoy your meal.
