Preparation time:

Approximately 1 hour

Servings:

For 2 people

Ingredients:

• 200 g of short-grain rice
• 3 shiitake mushrooms
• 1 carrot
• 1 zucchini
• 1 handful of bean sprouts
• 1 handful of cooked spinach
• 2 eggs
• 1 to 2 tbsp of soy sauce
• 5 cloves of minced garlic
• 2 tbsp of gochujang (Korean chili paste)
• 2 tbsp of sesame oil
• 2 tbsp of sesame seeds
• 1 tsp of sugar

Utensils:

• 2 stone bowls (or possibly a small saucepan if you don't have a suitable Korean bowl)
• Basting brush

Preparation:

Step 1: Prepare the vegetables

1. Rehydrate the shiitake mushrooms: Soak the mushrooms in lukewarm water for 10 minutes, then cut them into thin strips.
2. Mince and cook the vegetables:
   • Cut the carrot and zucchini into julienne strips.
   • Heat a pan with a drizzle of oil and sauté each vegetable separately with a pinch of salt for 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
   • Sauté the shiitake mushrooms with a teaspoon of minced garlic and half a teaspoon of soy sauce. Set aside.
3. Season the green vegetables:
   • Mix the spinach with half a teaspoon of garlic, half a teaspoon of sesame oil, and a teaspoon of sesame seeds.
   • Blanch the bean sprouts for 5 minutes, drain them, then mix them with the same seasonings as the spinach.

Step 2: Prepare the rice

1. Rinse the rice until the water runs clear, then cook it in a rice cooker or saucepan.
2. Meanwhile, heat the stone bowls over high heat. Brush the bottom of each bowl with a little sesame oil.

Step 3: Assemble the Dolsot Bibimbap

1. Line the bottom of the bowl with hot rice: Place a thin layer of rice in the heated bowl, which will begin to sizzle gently.
2. Arrange the prepared vegetables in a circle around the bowl, alternating colors. Place a raw or lightly poached egg in the center.

Step 4: Prepare the sauce

In a small bowl, mix:

• 2 tbsp of gochujang
• 1 tbsp of sesame oil
• 1 tsp of sugar
• 1 tbsp of sesame seeds
• 2 cloves of minced garlic

Step 5: Tasting

1. Remove the bowl from the heat, being careful not to burn yourself.
2. Mix all the ingredients directly in the bowl, incorporating the gochujang sauce.
3. Enjoy it sizzling hot!

Tip:

If you don't have a stone bowl, you can use a small saucepan or a cast-iron skillet.
