instructions
    1

    Begin by cooking the rice according to the package instructions, usually about 20 minutes.

    2

    While the rice is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Julienne the carrot and zucchini and set them aside.

    3

    Blanch the spinach and bean sprouts in boiling water for about 1 minute, then drain and cool them in cold water. Squeeze out excess water.

    4

    Heat a pan over medium heat and drizzle with sesame oil. Stir-fry the carrot for 2-3 minutes until it softens slightly. Set aside.

    5

    In the same pan, stir-fry the zucchini for 2-3 minutes until tender. Set aside.

    6

    Next, fry the egg sunny-side up, cooking for about 2-3 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny.

    7

    In a mixing bowl, combine the blanched spinach, bean sprouts, and a pinch of salt and sesame oil to taste. Mix well.

    8

    Now assemble your Bibimbap. In a bowl, place a portion of rice at the bottom.

    9

    Arrange the spinach, bean sprouts, carrot, and zucchini beautifully on top of the rice.

    10

    Add the fried egg in the center.

    11

    Drizzle with soy sauce and gochujang to taste, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

    12

    Garnish with sliced green onion and kiwi slices for a refreshing touch.

    13

    Mix everything together before eating!

How to be creative
  • Try using quinoa or cauliflower rice instead of traditional rice for a healthier option.

Important Tips
