A not so traditional Bibimbap recipe. Bibimbap may look complicated to make as it has quite a handful of ingredients but fear not! It is quite simple! The variety of colours from the vegetables make this rice bowl healthy and filling.
After stir frying each ingredient, it helps to set them aside on a plate according to their groups
Tip: for a vegan option, substitute:
the soy sauce - tamari sauce.
the minced beef and egg - half a block of firm tofu sautéed in a tablespoon with tamari sauce.
The gochujang is a spicy paste and is what gives this rice bowl a Korean flavour. Thus, this ingredient is essential!

Marinate the minced beef with a pinch of salt, pepper and sesame oil.

In a pan under medium heat, heat a tablespoon of oil. Fry the strips of zucchini, carrot and mushrooms separately with a tablespoon of soy sauce each.
With all the vegetables set aside, fry the marinated minced beef for about 5 minutes until cooked through.
