Bibimbap, The ultimate comfort food!
Bibimbap (비빔밥) is probably one of the most well-known and beloved Korean dishes to many people. Even if people don’t know anything about Korea, it’s not too difficult to find people who had Bibimbap sometime in their lives.
What is Bibimbap?
Bibimbap simply translates to “mixed rice with meat and assorted vegetables“. You can make endless variations to this dish depending on your preference and dietary requirements (e.g. Microgreens Bibimbap) and also based on the dish/bowl it is served in (e.g. Dolsot Bibimbap and Yangpun Bibimbap).
More traditional and authentic versions of Bibimbap are served with raw beef and raw egg yolk along with other vegetables but I prefer making it with cooked ingredients.
As I was growing up, my mum used make Bibimbap to get rid of vegetable side dishes (banchan) that are getting a few days old (less fresh) or when she didn’t want to put much effort into a meal, she would just take out a few sautéed and seasoned vegetables and Kimchi from the fridge, add a sprinkle of seasoned seaweed strips and made vegetarian Bibimbap.
So I don’t recall having much nicely presented Bibimbap, like the top picture above at home, yet regardless of the presentation her Bibimbap was always tasty! Anyway, how do you make your Bibimbap? Any secret ingredients to share with us?
I hope you enjoy my recipe!

This is a family favorite!!! Each person add the quantity of sauce that match their taste. Very spicy for me and my sons, mindly spicy for my husband and slightly spicy for my daughter. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
Very happy to hear your family loves my recipe! 🙂
Hi Sue,
I am so excited to try this recipe. What type of rice do you use? Short grain, sushi? Or does it not matter. Thanks!
Hi Jana, I use short grain rice. They are the best! 🙂
I’ve enjoyed making this recipe for a couple years. Thank you so much! Would it be ok for me to translate this recipe and publish it on my personal blog? Of course I’ll give you credit for the recipe and link to the original.
Yes, that should be fine. Thanks.
Thank you so much . I like it ,I’ll try to cook it ,it’s look like delicious
But when you said
[ Some Korean seasoned seaweed shredded (long thin cut) ],
What do you mean in this part , I can’t understand these ingredient can explain it please ?
Hi memanh, have you had a seasoned seaweed like this one? http://amzn.to/2voFOPl It’s a very common Korean side dish, which you can easily buy from a Korean / asian grocer. You just need to shredded a few of these sheets. If you can’t find these, you don’t have to add them. It just adds nicer flavour to bibimbap. That’s all. Enjoy! 🙂
Hi! I’m thinking of making this and keeping it in the fridge for the next few days. Should i keep the vegetables together or separately? Will water come out from the mushroom?
I would keep the vegetables separately. Yes, the mushroom will release some water. Enjoy!
I am so glad I came upon this recipe! Love to eat it for breakfast. I just eliminate the beef and use an extra egg. I use whatever is at hand, usually kale, broccoli slaw, onions, bean sprouts, mushrooms, kimchee, and minced habaneros or Thai peppers (I like it hot). Also substitute quinoa if I don’t have left over rice, since it’s quick to prepare and is a good source of protein.
Thanks again for a great recipe…the sauce is awesome. Can’t wait to check out and try your other recipes.
Hi Diana, Your breakfast sounds so good and healthy! Yes, I also do think the sauce is the key. The rest is use whatever you have in your pantry and fridge. 🙂 Glad to hear you enjoyed my recipe!
Hello, I have long been a lover of Korean cuisine but am now recently undertaking to attempt to make things myself. I really look forward to making your recipe. My question is, what surface do you use to cook? I have a wok but I wondered if what I saw in the video recipe was one of the small portable gas burners that I have seen in stores and Korean TV shows. Or, please inform me if it is something else.
감사합니다! 맛있게 먹겠습니다.
Hi Severin, Normally I cook on the induction cooktop. But for video shooting, I use a portable gas burner because of the angle and lighting issue. Other than that, I use a portable gas burner for hot pot cooking and Korean BBQ where you eat food as you cook. So it’s worth having it at home. Hope this helps! 🙂
Hi, I would like to try the recipe but is it possible to use beef sirlion in place of the beef mince
Of course, Rhoda! Some people even use pork or chicken. FYI. Enjoy! 🙂
I’m excited to try this. My husband hates spicy food — do you have a suggestion for a milder but flavorful sauce?
Perhaps you can reduce the gochujang and add a bit of soy sauce instead. 🙂
This recipe is amazing I have had it so many times since I found it and everyone that tries it LOVES it. Also, the best part is I don’t have to pay to eat at a restaurant anymore! Thanks so much for sharing 🙂
Great to hear you’re enjoying my bibimbap recipe! Saving money is added bonus! 🙂
I preferred the taste of this meal over bibimbap i’ve gotten at Korean restaurants around me. It’s a lot of work but so worth it. Thanks!
Thanks, Carrie! You can reduce the types of vegetable ingredients that goes into to make it quicker. Nonetheless, glad to hear you enjoyed it!!
I made this last night and it was amazing! I might not have to buy it anymore since finding this recipe, Thanks so much!!
So happy to hear that! 🙂
Hi. Which rice do you use? Thanks
Hi Ami, I used short grain white rice (also known as sushi rice) for this recipe. Something like this one. Hope this helps!
How spicy is this bibimbap sauce? I like some heat but not unbearable.
Spice level is pretty subjective to describe. I suggest you add 1 Tbsp of gochujang first then add more if you can handle it. 🙂
This is a great recipe, so simply and easy….very healthy
Thanks, Suzi!
i have been into Korean traditions since i always watch Korean dramas but I’ve always been really in love on the foods they eat! can’t wait to try this recipe someday,your bibimbap really looks delicious!
Thanks, Jay. If you’re into Korean culture, you’ve got to try this bibimbap! 🙂 You will love it!
I’ve made this dish like 3 times already and it’s been a hit with my family and my fiancée. I was a bit apprehensive to share it with him since I didn’t know if he was gonna like it but he loved it! Which I am super happy about since I’m starting to set a goal of learning as many Korean dishes as I can. I made some Bibimbap today and my mom had 2 servings, she loved it so much that she said that her taste buds waned more but her stomach was full already so she has admitted to have developed an addiction to this dish and so have I. Thank you for making it so easy to understand and prepare.
Thanks, Liz! So happy to hear that! Hope your mum tries my recipe too. 🙂
hi i’m from Afghanistan. i saw bibimbap in korean films and liked it!! thank you for learning koreanfoods. this food is so yummy and delicious!!
Hi Zahra, I didn’t know I had a Korean food fan from Afghanistan. Thanks for your interest in Korean cooking! 🙂
Hi Sue, I just came across your website when searching for a bibimbap recipe. I can’t wait to make yours but I have a question about an ingredient. When your recipe calls for sesame oil are you referring to the toasted sesame oil that is found in most Asian cooking? Thanks for sharing your recipes.
Hi David, Yes it is. 🙂 Enjoy!
The bibimbap sauce is delicious. Thank you for this recipe, Sue. I just made this for family for Super Bowl 2017. It’s a hit. Thank you for explaining in an earlier comment/response that the heated stone bowl creates crunchy rice. I’m going to figure out how to do that next time. You’re the best!
Great to hear that, Kathy! Creating Bibimbap in a hot stone bowl is also in my recipe to share list this year. So stay tuned!
I have now made this 4 times in less than 2 weeks because I LOVE it that much!! Each time I use what I have in the fridge and no matter how I change the ingredients, its heaven. First night I used a beautiful little steak sliced thinly. Next night, I had two turkey patties in the fridge and I cut broccoli into “matchsticks” instead of carrots. They were both wonderful meals. Third time it was back to thinly sliced beef. Tonight? Ground beef, some pre-packaged green salad with cauliflower from the deli and I got brave and opened up a can of black beans and added those to the skillet with the carrots.
I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to share these recipes.
That’s wonderful to hear, Tom!
It’s a perfect meal for breakfast….. I love Korean dishes, and since Korean restaurants are too far from my area, I am able to make my korean dishes with the help of your recipe and satisfy my cravings.
감사합니다……
Thank you, Trina! Happy to be part of your Korean craving solution. 🙂
Thank you for this recipe! My new years resolution was to cook a recipe from every country in the world, and Bibimbap was the dish I chose for North Korea. This was super yummy, and made for amazing leftovers all week!
Bibimbap is for both North Korea and South Korea. Anyway, it’s good to hear you enjoyed it! 🙂
I love the bibimbap sauce… I created your version and found I like it with less sesame. I also used rice wine vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar. I may never need to go to my favorite korean restaurant again now that I can make this sauce!! So Yummmmm! Thank you so much!
Great to hear! 🙂
Hi Dear
I love the Bimibap dish and wonder when it is mentioned to cook the ingredients in a wok why is the special stone bowl required .
I have always had this dish in the traditional bowl and thought it os cooked in the traditional stone bowl ;with or without the cover ;thats another question.can you please answer by e mail?
This recipe doesn’t require a stone bowl. (Though you can certainly use it.) When you use a stone bowl, you can make the bottom of the rice crispy. That’s called Dolsot Bibimbap. A lot of people love this type of Bibimbap.
Thank u so much for answering
Só would I prepare the whole procedure in the bowl instead of the wok on the stove top?
I love it in the bowl with the crispy rice on the bottom.
Thanks so much
Hana
Hi Hana, You prepare all meat and vegetable ingredients as shown above (in a skillet / wok). Only the assembly needs to be done in a stone bowl to make the rice crispy. Enjoy!
Thank you for your kind reply
I just finished making it and it was delicious. Too delicious since I ate half of it myself…But it tasted almost as good as it would have tasted at the nearest Korean restaurant and I couldn’t stop eating.
Sounds like you had a really good dinner! Great to hear that! 🙂
I’ve made this many times and my husband and I just love it! He is vegetarian, so I’ve always made it without the meat, but we don’t miss it. Also, I have substituted cauli-rice and found it to be really good, too. Thanks for sharing your delicious recipe. That sauce is just sooooooo good!
Thanks Emily! Cauli rice sounds interesting! 🙂
In the video and the full recipe at the bottom it says to add gochujang sauce. Do you really have to add that if you don’t like spicy food?
Hi Sophie, Gochujang is a vital ingredient for making authentic bibimbap. Though, if you can’t handle the heat, sure, you can tone it down a bit or even omit. (I just can’t imagine the taste without it though!)
If I were to reduce or omit gochujang, I might add some soy sauce to give some flavour. Just my thought.
Thank you for replying! I will definitely try the soy sauce! I am slowly trying to work up to being able to handle heat, so I will absolutely try it with the gochujang in the future when I AM able to handle the spice.
I came across your website looking for a simple bibimbap recipe and it got me hooked!!! So delicious!!! I have made it several times, my husband loves it (especially the great sauce) and the kids like it (without the sauce though, which they reckon is too hot). It tastes much better when I make it than when we have it in a restaurant (ok, Munich, Germany, may not be THE best place for Korean restaurants).
Right now I have your honey/soy/drumsticks in the oven and spare ribs are marinating in the fridge for sunday. I can’t wait!
Wow! So good to hear that. You’ve been busy! Hope you like them all! 🙂
I’m making this today!
Enjoy! 🙂
Tried this tonight and it was amazing! Thanks so much for sharing!
Awesome! Happy to hear that! 🙂
Hi the spinach and beansprouts are rinsed in cold water before adding the seasoning, does it need reheating before assembling the dish??
No, it doesn’t need reheating. 🙂
Hmm. I disagree. This was my first time making it, and the timing turned out to be more important than I thought – my meal ended up being sort of luke-warm. I think in a restaurant setting where this is normally served in a hot stone bowl, the temperature of the elements might not matter as much, but for a home dish, I think each element might need to be reheated briefly to make the whole dish nice and warm.
That said, even though my dish was a little on the cold side, it was delicious. This is a really good recipe, and not too difficult to make. I used a rib meat (flanken) instead of ground beefthough – not sure I would like it as much with ground beef.
HELLO RECIPE MAKER!!! Ive got to say I made your recipe today, not and it turned out better than any reasturaunt ive ever been to. I may have added a larger variety though; beansprounts, chicken, carrots, spinach, cucumber, zucchini, and shitake muchrooms. But I have to say, im in a food coma XD, and all I can think about is how great the bibimbap sauce was, I did add a little xtra sugar and sesame oil and black toasted sesame seeds, but still, the best ive ever had! Thank you for sharing, this is a must make for anyone who enjoys cooking!
Great!! Glad to hear you enjoyed it so much! ?
I made this today!!! Yum! the best i ever had. I’ve always liked bibimbap but was too lazy/intimidated to make it myself, I always order it whenever I go to a Korean place but it’s never as tasty as this one. Thank you, thank you for sharing. It’s a keeper.
So happy to hear that! 🙂 Thanks for your feedback!
Just finished enjoying the awesome bibimpap.family was so happy
Thank you so much for the wonderful easy to follow recipe
Love your recipes
Awesome! ?
I love your bibimbap and your recipe is fabulous. I always add zucchini to my vegetables and it is great.
Thanks Jennifer! I sometimes add sauteed zucchini as well. It goes well in Bibimbap!
Wow! This was fantastic. Thank you for the recipe. I will be looking at your website for future Korean recipes.
Great to hear! Thanks! 😉
We made this Saturday night. It is the best Asian dish I have ever made and possibly ever eaten. We are making it again tonight trying some vegetable deviations. We are also going to make some of the bibimbap sauce to try on other things (chicken nuggets).
Awesome! Happy to hear that! 😉
For your chicken nuggets, check out my Korean style popcorn chicken recipe (https://mykoreankitchen.com/korean-style-popcorn-chicken/). It’s also very popular among my readers. Enjoy!
Hi can I know for the soy sauce what kind do u use is it light or dark or the sweet kind
Hi Illiana, I used a regular soy sauce. http://amzn.to/29PFtKY 🙂 Enjoy!
Hi 🙂 is it sweet or salty ?:)
Hi, great recipe. Thank you for sharing. I have some question wish that you can help me…:)
IF the seasonaed spinach, bean sprout and bibimbap sauce can’t finish, can we keep in refrigerator? How long??
Have a nice day~~
Yes, you can keep all of them in the fridge. The sauce can be kept for a few weeks to few months if you store it well.
For spinach and bean sprouts, it’s best to consume them within the three days. (Though they could last up to 5 to 7 days. – But these can go off easily or look less appealing by then.)
Thank you very much..
Wow, so happy to have found your site. I’m of mix decent, and finally getting in touch with my watered down Korean blood (lol). Wanted so much to find simple recipes. At first I was a little intimidated by the pictures. They are so beautiful, I thought “oh, man another hard recipe to follow. “. So happy I ignored that part. Your recipes are simple, easy to follow, and so YUMMY. Thank you so much!
Hi Ren, You’re very humorous! I’m very glad that you decided to follow through. Good looking photos don’t mean that they are going to be difficult! 🙂 I’m happy to hear you enjoyed my recipe!
Thanks so much. Such a great recipe. This is my 413th time making it and with all the ingredients in the house and the Bibimbap sauce already in the fridge I find it No more difficult than many western favorites we have made it twice on weeknights with relative ease.
We just returned from 10 days in Seoul and find that we crave the food even more now that we are home. It is so satisfying and delicious. And the gochugang if bought in the international market in Milwaukee is the exact same as I say in Seoul. Just with American rther than Korean writing.
So happy to hear that! I checked out some bibimbap photos you shared on Instagram too! You presented them so well. Thanks!
4th time! Not 413th….
🙂
Is using raw egg in Bibimbap tradtional or always slightly fried?
Usually, Bibimbap ingredients differ based on the regions and also the seasons. The most well known Bibimbap is “Jeonju Bibimbap” and one of the main ingredients are beef tartare (Yukhoe) and raw egg yolk. Probably because of this, some people think raw egg has to be used. But it doesn’t have to be. In the same way, it doesn’t have to be fried either. 🙂
I want to say Thank you for sharing your great recipe. I made a few and it was easy and yummy!. My friends and I enjoyed it very much.
Glad to hear that! Thanks for your feedback! 🙂
Great recipe! I like how much detail you provide in laying out what you need to do. Bibimbap isn’t easy to make, but it’s certainly worth it when it all comes together. Thanks again for helping to make this possible!
Thanks, Rob! It’s definitely worth the effort! Happy to hear you enjoyed it!
Hi! Just finished eating this with my family and it was delicious! Its a lot of prep, but I agree – with enough practice it will all become easier. I have always loved eating this at restaurants and I have to say I no longer need to go out and get it. Hit the spot! The kids had their preferences about the greens and eggs but the beauty of this dish is the versatility. Only part missing for me was the crispiness of the rice from the stone bowl, next time I will try assembling in a hot cast iron dish. Thank you so much for sharing, and for the clear thorough instructions.
So happy to hear that your family enjoyed my Bibimbap recipe! Yes, this recipe wasn’t written with crispy rice in mind. I’ll update this post with the ‘how-to’ next time! Stay tuned!
I just made this today, I wanted to try it for so long after tasting gochujang paste for the first time. It’s a lot of work with all the different parts to it but wow it’s so good! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
So glad to hear you enjoyed it Emy! Yes, it’s a bit of work but it’s totally worth it! (Also if you make it often enough, you will get faster at it as well! 🙂 )
Really really love this recipe. This is my #1 website every time I’m craving for Korean food.
Thanks Sylvie!! So happy to hear that! ?
Great recipe, made it 2 times, it’s absolutely delicious.
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Cassie! So happy to hear you’re enjoying this recipe! 🙂
Made this tonight – waited until we could find the gochujang to do it and it was worth the wait! Not only was the dish amazing but now I want to put the sauce on pretty much everything. *lol* Thanks for an awesome recipe!
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! I know this sauce is pretty addictive! ?
Do you think green bell peppers would go well? I currently am short on veggies, but have nappa cabbage and green bell peppers. I also have green chillies but I think they would change the flavor of the dish too much.
If green bell pepper is cooked, you can try that. You could also try sautéed nappa cabbage as well.
Just made this tonight and it was amazing. I used sliced ribeye beef and quinoa instead with the addition of cucumbers seasoned similar to the bean sprouts. Honestly it came out better than I get at restaurants (because they always overcook the egg). So glad I was able to get Gochujang at the grocery!
Great to hear, Chris! Yes, I do time to time use rib eye filet as well. It’s so tender and make Bibimbap even more special! This sautéed cucumber salad will go well in Bibimbap if you want try it. https://mykoreankitchen.com/sauteed-korean-cucumber-side-dish/
Hello! Do you have any recommendations for a substitute for the gochujang? I see that I can purchase it on Amazon, but I was hoping to make your recipe tonight!
Thank you!
Unfortunately there’s no substitutes for Gochujang. It’s a very unique & essential Korean sauce. (If you love Korean food, it’s a must have pantry item.) However, I do know a few people tried this Bibimbap recipe with sriracha sauce, so you can try it that way. Though, I personally never tried sriracha sauce yet so I don’t know what to expect.
Wow – I had a craving for bibimbap and found your recipe/site. Made it tonight – husband and 7 yr old son loved it! I skipped the sauce and used sriracha instead for convenience. And, I used beef strips instead of minced beef – but next time will try it with the minced beef. I loved the presentation! But, to make clean-up a little easier, I will probably mix the vegetables together in one bowl as they are ready. Hope that doesn’t offend! I added some broccoli to the mix as well to get a few more green veggies into the bowl. Can’t wait for the leftovers tomorrow! Thanks!
Happy to hear that! Try it with the real Bibimbap sauce next time! 🙂
안녕하세요! Thank you for this recipe. I lived in Korea for a year while I was in the military and fell in love with the food and culture. I plan on going back soon to teach English with my girlfriend. I want to introduce her to the food and culture so it isn’t that much of a culture shock and this is probably one of the best recipes I’ve seen for bibimbap so far to introduce anyone to the food. 고맙습니다!
So happy to hear that, Carl! Thanks for the feedback. 🙂 I hope your girlfriend enjoys Korea too!
I’ve only eaten bibimbap two times and it was always at the same restaurant. They use bottled sriracha sauce and it still tastes good. I’m wondering if that would be okay in this case, since I’m not sure where I would be able to get gochujang around my area.
Personally I’ve never tried sriracha sauce so I don’t know how it will play with my recipe. But if you already had a good experience with it at a restaurant, you should give it a go. 😉 If you live in the US, you can buy Gochujang from Amazon. http://amzn.to/1SCBJfs Enjoy!
Love it!!! I made it tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Happy to hear! 🙂
Awesome! If i had that black clay bowl i would heat it up on the fire with everything in it to attain that roasted rice texture that i dearly enjoy!
Usually after we have gyros there are extra gyros strips in the pack, not enough for a round of sandwiches, but enough to use as the meat for a family meal of bibimbap!
I also like to use fresh seaweed when it’s in the market.
I had this at a Korean diner locally served in a hot pot so the rice got crunchy and crispy as I stirred it up, really added a nice texture.
this is amazing! your sauce is great! it’s really not that spicy. this is my favorite bibimbap recipe
Thanks! Glad to hear you enjoyed it! 🙂
Tried this recipe tonight, and it was definitely delicious! I left out the mushrooms and used liquid aminos instead of soy sauce (not for health reasons, its just what was in the pantry) and I had to use honey instead of sugar (surprisingly, I don’t have sugar in my house) and ground turkey instead of beef. Bibimbap at my favorite restaurant is $20. Now, I can make it at home at a much cheaper price.
I’ve never tried liquid aminos, so I don’t know what it’s like. Nonetheless, it’s great to hear that you enjoyed my recipe! Thanks for sharing your feedback. 🙂
Nice nice! I just want say thanks!
Hey Sue – These photos look beautiful! And Congrats on your video recipes! I know it’s a lot of work for you.
Thanks Hyosun! Yes, video recipes do require extra time and resources but I’m enjoying it so far. 🙂
I made this tonight. I haven’t had Bibimbap in years and it is one of my all time favorite foods. I followed your directions carefully but I must admit that I doubled the meat. I used 7 ounces flatiron steak. I once took a Chinese cooking class years back, and it cooked in the wok beautifully but much quicker than 6-7 minutes. It took more than 1 small carrot to equal to 4 ounces of carrots. I ended up using 3 medium carrots but it was all fine. I wasn’t sure what “Korean Seaweed” is exactly so I just used Sushi seaweed cut thin. I cut it into strips but it was so tough I worried for my newly polished edged chef knife. It was dry and crackly so I was so unsure about adding it to my beautiful dish so I ran it under hot water and just tossed it in the pan. It was fine. I didn’t know how much to use – I think used a little more than half a package. The dish was a lot of work because I didn’t have the leftover veggies in the fridge but it was totally worth it. My husband loves Korean food and he was blown away. Thank you so much. I was thrilled with the outcome of this dish.
Hi Kathy, I’m glad to hear your family enjoyed my Bibimbap recipe! Korean seasoned seaweed looks like this one. http://amzn.to/1F2lP9W It’s already salted and brushed with some sesame oil, so it is different to sushi seaweed sheets as these are not seasoned at all. I just cut 4 to 5 sheets (mini rectangle size) of Korean seasoned seaweed with a pair of scissors. You can add more or less per your preference. Yes, preparing Bibimbap can be time consuming if you have to prepare all from scratch but for sure, it is worth it! 😀
Do you do just add the dried seaweed to the pot at the end? Does it need anything done to it first? I can’t thank you enough for this recipe. I wanted to ask if you make those Korean pancakes with vegetables and scallions in them? A friend of mine is Korean and her mother used to make them and she would bring them to me. They were delicious beyond belief. My friend told me that they were a lot of work though. I am going to rate the recipe again because I am not sure if I leave it blank if it will be taken away from the stars this recipe deserves. Again many many thanks! I can’t believe that I can now make Bibimbap at home.
Hi Kathy, Yes, I just cut the seasoned dried seaweed and place it into the pot. Nothing further is need to be done. 🙂
Here are two of my pancake recipes that contain green onions. https://mykoreankitchen.com/korean-seafood-and-green-onion-pancakes-haemul-pajeon/ and https://mykoreankitchen.com/squid-pancakes-ojingeo-buchimgae-in-korean/ The cooking technique is slightly different to each other but it is explained in the first link. Enjoy!
I don’t know how the recipe rating system works, but more stars are always good in my mind. 🙂 Thanks!
This is a fantastic recipe and even saves well as leftovers! (I store the various components separately.) I’ve made it twice- the first time following the directions very closely, the second I made a few changes mostly to cut down on time and the number of dishes required.
1. I sauté the carrots for about 2 mins, then add in thinly sliced zucchini and sauté for another couple of mins, and finally add in the mushrooms for a final 2 mins. I find this cooks the carrots a bit better. Since all the veggies end up mixed up in the bowl, it really doesn’t make much of a difference (slightly less pretty presentation) and makes storing the leftovers easier.
2. Similarly, I mix the sprouts and spinach together with the sesame oil/garlic dressing. I start by boiling the sprouts and use a slotted spoon to remove them to a medium sized bowl. This allows me to save the already boiling water for the spinach. I drain the spinach (squeezing out the extra water) and add it to the spouts bowl to mix with the dressing.
3. I was running short on time so I substituted Sriracha rather than make the Bibimbap sauce.
I love how simple this recipe is, even if it requires lots of chopping and dishes 🙂 Super easy to add your own twist too!
Thanks for sharing your short cut method. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it! Bibimbap can be very versatile and I love it because of that! 🙂
Hey! I was looking up bibimbap cause i loved it at my korean church i go to while Iearning korean language
This will be my first time with bibimbap
So i’m also tackling recipes but my question is do you have to add the mushroom? Lol i just don’t like them so i was wondering if they neef to be there or not ^^ thank you!!
Hi Jessie, essentially you can add anything you like in Bibimbap. So if you don’t like the mushroom, you don’t have to add it. Add some other your favourite vegetables instead. Enjoy! 🙂
One of our absolute favorite Korean dishes. Yours looks so so good!
Thanks! 🙂
Hi Sue,
I never thought it could be cooked as easy as this, all thanks to how you demonstrated it in very fine details. Simple and yet very delicious. Looking forward to seeing more awesome recipes from you. Keep it up Sue and more power to you!
Thanks Shin! I’m just happy to hear you enjoy my Bibimbap recipe. 🙂
I made this for my sister and her boyfriend today and it turned out very good! I’m sure it could’ve been much better but as this is my first time ever making steamed rice and this kind of food, my 16 year old self is very proud! I’ll definitely be making this often and recommending it to my friends!! I’m so glad I found this recipe, thank you very much!
I’m on mobile and I accidentally pressed four instead of five stars. I’d rate this with 100 stars if I could!
Thanks Sophia! 🙂 I’m happy to hear you enjoyed it. You should definitely be proud of yourself!
Dear Sue,
I’m going over to friend’s place to eat bibimbap.
I’ve been told bring some veges which don’t need to be cooked which will be mixed into the dish.
Can you please recommend any vegie which don’t require cooking but can be chopped and eat straight away.
Hi Jacob, how about taking some seasoned Korean seaweed? I know they are not veggies, but it’s very practical. If you buy pre-cut seaweed, all you need to do is opening the packet. Besides, it goes very well with Bibimbap!
If it has to be vegetable, then a cucumber or even Kimchi would be a good option as well. I hope you enjoy your bibimbap. 🙂
I just made this dish tonight and the husband was amazed that it was home made! Thank you very much for the great recipe and the delicious looking photos!
Hi Cyndi, So happy to hear that! 🙂 Thanks for trying out my recipe.
Oh Sue! Thank you so much, I just made the best bibimbap ever and I owe it all to you. No Korean Gramma’s, no fairies or elves, no magic, just me, my kitchen and your recipe. Amazing! I’m so happy. Thank you!
:)) Thanks, Danny! I’m as excited as you are! I’m very happy to hear your success!
We make this often at our house and call it “Korean Eggs”. We always have kimchi and gochujang in the fridge, and we keep chickens, so we usually have organic eggs on hand too. I saute some mushrooms and spinach and add some veggie leftovers from previous meals. So easy and delicious! (Very frugal too!) Can’t wait to try your version!
Kim 🙂
Hi Kim, why do you call it Korean eggs? 🙂 Just curious. Anyway, I hope you like my version. This has been the most popular recipe on my blog since 2013. I hope you like it. Enjoy!
I just made this for supper and it was amazing 🙂 I used brown rice because thats what I had and it still tasted great.
Thank you so much 🙂
Thanks Stephanie! Glad to hear you enjoyed it with your brown rice!
Hello. Can you provide any information on the type of rice needed to get the exact texture and taste that you find in Korea? Is the type of rice usually sold for sushi suitable? Unfortunately, here in Italy we have so many local kinds of rice that it’s difficult to find foreign ones, except basmati and jasmine!
Hi Daunt, Yes, rice suitable for sushi should be OK for this recipe. Korean rice is usually short or medium grain rice. (They stick together once cooked.) If you want to find out more about how to cook Korean rice, please check this link. https://mykoreankitchen.com/how-to-make-perfect-korean-steamed-rice-step-3-how-to-soak-and-cook-the-rice/
Hi Sue, thank you for simple yet awesome recipe. My hubby and I make it today and.. wow so yummy. Thank you….. pssst we used Wagyu for the mince beef..double yummy
Thanks! I bet it was extra yummy with Wagyu! I love it. Glad you liked my recipe!
Thank you for this easy-to-follow recipe. Made it tonight and it was absolutely fabulous.
Thanks Sonja for trying my recipe! I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Hi Sue! I was so excited when I came back here in DC from a holiday . I’ve tasted bibimbap on the plane ( Korean Air) and really really like it. As soon as I arrived home even with a jet lag I googled this bibimbap. Now I know how to make it!!! So delicious!! Thanks Sue for sharing it!!! I even told my friends about this.
Thanks Molly! Korean Air Bibimbap is pretty good. I always eat their bibimbap over any other food on their menu. It’s easy on stomach as well. 🙂 Anyway, I hope you enjoy my recipe. Thank you also for sharing about my blog!
Hi Sue, for vegetarians, what do you suggest to subsitute for the meat
You can use marinated tofu or more mushrooms! Or really, you can add whatever you like. You can increase the listed vegetable qty alternatively. 🙂
Hi Sue! I just wanted to let you know that I ALWAYS come back to this page that you’ve created when I want the house to smell soooooo amazing! You have the best sauce for Bibimbap evah! 🙂 Thank you!!
Awesome!!! Thank you for your kind word!
Hey Sue,
I just came back from a five month australia trip and googled for one of my favourite food court meals – bibimbap. Thank you for your great recipe! Just one just, are you mixing the egg with the other ingredients? Just asking because that isnt very common for me.
Thank you!
Hi Andy, Hope you had a great time in Australia. Yes, you do mix the egg with the other ingredients. How else are you going to eat it? 😉
The eating egg just before the rest . To defend myself , most of the guys in the food court have done so. From a german perspective, you would it before the meal too. 🙂 Thanks, going to try it next time! 🙂
That’s interesting. I think most Koreans do mix all ingredients at the same time. Japanese on the other hand, they don’t even like mixing them at all. I heard that they think bibimbap present so nicely that they don’t want to ruin its beauty by mixing them. So they eat individual ingredients separately with their chopsticks. At least that’s what I heard a long time ago. I don’t know how true that is though. It’s always interesting to learn how different cultures do different things. 🙂 Hope you enjoy it!
This is so cool Sue! Definitely want to try this recipe… I think bibimbap is one of my favorite Korean dishes. There’s a Korean-owned deli at the ground floor of my office bldg in DC, and every now & then, along with the pastrami on ryes, tuna on wheats & typcipal deli fare, Mike will post up on the specials board bulgogi or bibimbap! those are my favorite days! haha [he slices a hard-boiled egg tho — guess that saves time, they’re always so busy] anyway, my reason for replyng — I eat it the same way too!! I do mix it up a little, but I’m always guilty because everything is so pretty I hate messing it up! haha [and I’m not even japanese! I’m jamaican!] 😀 thanx for this great recipe tho. Hope I can capture it right when it’s my turn to make it. x
You made me laugh, gigi! I hope you enjoy making this at home. I won’t judge you about your mixing habit. 😉
We made this recipe tonight, it was great! One question…. how do we get the stone pots hot enough, and what temp. do they need to get to , in order to make the rice crispy on the bottom?
Thanks,
Amanda
Hi Amada, Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Hmmm, I don’t normally eat Bibimbap in a hot stone, so I can’t answer you yet. I’ll do some experiment and will update the post. Though based on my brief research people typically heat the stone for about 10 mins on high heat (you’re supposed to hear rice crackling noise) and then leave another 5 mins on low heat to make the bottom rice gets crispier. Are you using raw stone pot? or ceramic stone pot? I think that will make the cooking time different as well. Hope this helps!
maybe add conversion table at each point for g to ozs possibly . I hope I got conversions right lol trying tonight . thanks for sharing been hunting this recipe
Hi Chuck, I hope you enjoyed my recipe last night. I’ve been adding conversion information (g to oz etc) within ingredients section in the new posts since this year. I’ll update my old posts gradually with time permitting. 😉
Hi! I made this the other night. My daughter works at a restaurant where the chef’s are Korean and they make her BimBimBap when she works a shift. She loves the dish so I decided to try my hand at it (I’ve tried it at restaurants and haven’t been impressed). I tried your recipe and it was delicious!!! Both my daughter and I loved it! I did just use ground beef (all we had) and I made the spinach and bean sprouts as you suggested. Excellent!!! Thank you!
Hi Jenn, I’m glad to hear both of you liked it! Thanks for trying my recipe. 🙂
Hi,
Before I came upon your website, I saw another recipe where they fried the rice in a cast iron or nonstick skillet to get the crispy bottom. Would this take away from the flavor of using the stone bowl? I will definitely be trying this recipe, thanks for sharing!
Bibimbap is the best food for cold weather. I have just had my first ever bowl of bibimbap and it had me at the first spoonful. I’m not a fan of spicy food, but since I’m in love, bibimbap is the only exception. Thanks a lot for posting this recipe. Have a good day!
Glad you enjoyed your first ever bibimbap! I hope you continue to cook it at home and enjoy it even more! 🙂
Hi Sue.
I’m so glad that I found your website. This Saturday will be my very first time ever trying to make this dish. Love bimbibap, but there is one thing i want to ask you about making warm bimbibap. I like it when the rice is crispy. Like when you serve it on a hot stone the rice will become crispy. Can you still do it with this recipe?
Best regards,
Trang
Hi Trang,
Yes, you can still do that with this recipe. You just need to serve in a preheated stone bowl. I think someone mentioned how to look after the stone bowl in this comment section. I hope you read it. Enjoy my recipe! 🙂
Great recipe! Thanks for sharing. I modified the following:
Bean sprouts, add 1/2 tbsp fish sauce
Meat: Use 1 tsp ketchup manis (sweeet soy sauce) in place of sugar
used poached egg
used baby spinach leaves
Thanks Dave! Never heard of manis, but it sounds good. 🙂
Thank you for a great receipe! Using it even I managed to make authentic-tasting Bibimbap with my generally not very good cooking skills 🙂
Thanks Ville, I’m so happy to hear that you liked my recipe! 🙂
Hi I really liked your recipe! Especially the side dishes recipes. I tried experimenting with other vegetables like french beans, kai lan and it is all good (yes vegans out there, you can try an all vegetarian bibimbap)! Simple and nice! Next the sauce is to die for, simple clean and tasty! Last time I use to follow another recipe and the sauce was complicated. After a few mouthful and I will get sick of the bibimbap but with your sauce, I can even do seconds! Simply amazing! For my eggs, I poached it instead.
Thanks! I’m very happy to hear you like my recipes, especially my bibimbap sauce. 🙂 I can also easily do seconds with it. 🙂
Hi Sue, it’s me again. Thanks for your recipe, I loved it. I bought a raw stone bowl, but not sure how to maintain, it would be great if I can get any tips from you?
I followed this procedure:
1. In a large pot, submerge the stone bowl in water with a spoonful of salt and boil for 20 minutes.
2. Carefully remove hot stone bowl on a heat proof surface and paint edible oil all over the stone bowl (bottom, inside, rim, outside) until the oil no longer permeates the stone.
3. Carefully, place the oiled stone bowl in the oven for 20 minutes at 400-450 degrees (This process will create a lot of smoke, so please leave windows open)
4. DO NOT put hot stone bowl in cold water! Wait until the stone bowl has cooled down (stone may crack with sudden temperature change)
Hi Steve, Thank you so much for the tips. It seems to be difficult to do this, maybe I should change to a ceramic stone not the raw stone, might be easy to handle it? What do you think?
Hi Nancy. Yes, but I only had to do this once. If you like crispy rice at the bottom use the Korean Stone Bowl (Dolsot). I think you will like it. If you just want to use a bowl and lightly heat it, I would use the Korean Dolsot Ddubaegi (Earthenware) Stone Bowl.
I like the Dolsot as it keeps the food warm for a long time. Once you seasoned the stone bowl, maintenance is very easy. Once the bowl gets cold, use warm water, non abrasive soup, and a sponge.
In my family we use the large sized Dolsot and when I make it everyone wants the crispy rice at the bottom.
Good Luck!
Sorry, a typo error:
“non abrasive soup” should read “non abrasive soap”
Thank you so much Steve, I will try this real stone to get the crispy part, 🙂
Thanks so much for posting the procedure! I wouldn’t have known as I never owned a stone bowl. A huge help for my readers for sure! Thanks again. 🙂
I fell in love with this recipe after making it once. Turned out very delicious and will make it more often.
One negative comment. In making this recipe, I found it annoying having to go to another page to obtain the recipe(s) for the spinach and bean sprout. For the future, can you please keep the recipe confined to one page only?
Great to hear you liked the recipe. The reason for having separate recipes for spinach and bean sprouts in a different page is that they can be served as a side dish, independently from Bibimbap. If I included it all in one recipe, people won’t be able to search for it unless I made a duplicate recipe. I hope you understand.
Delicious! Light and fresh – reminds me of eating at Grandma’s house! 🙂
Thanks! Glad to hear you enjoyed it! 🙂
Hey Sue,
I love your recipe! And I will definitely use this next week but I have a friend who cannot eat spicy food, so I wanted to ask you if there is a milder version of your sauce.
With kind regards,
MD
Thanks MD, hmmm unfortunately I don’t have mild version of sauce. Perhaps you can reduce the gochujang from this recipe. (Though, I don’t think this sauce was spicy…) Maybe you can try this sauce first then alter a bit? It’s always good to test the recipe before hosting a party. 😉 Let me know how you go!
Hey Sue,
I tried your recipe and the sauce is too hot for my friend. So instead of gochujang I used tomato paste. The taste is not bad but I like yours more. Thanks again!
Regards MD
Hi MD, Sorry to hear that the sauce is too spicy for your friend. Adding the tomato paste didn’t even cross my mind though. I didn’t think the taste would be good with it. 🙂 Anyway, glad to hear you liked my sauce!
I made this meal as a surprise for the wife and it was total perfection. We both eat chicken Bi Bin bap regularly but never dreamed of cooking it at home. This will be a weekly home meal from now on.
Thank you very much indeed, we will enjoy this for a lifetime!
Thanks Stewart! That’s such a compliment. 🙂 I’m so happy to hear that both you and your wife enjoyed it so much!
Hello Sue ^^
I am working with Korean ppl.Once in a while we are cooking some korean dish.My favorite is Bibimpap.Your webiste is the best with the instruction of cooking. Thank u ^^ All the best 🙂
Hi Zosia,
That’s such a compliment! Thanks so much. I hope you enjoy my Bibimbap recipe along with my other Korean recipes. 🙂
Hiya!
Just tried this recipe tonight. Huge success! Super yummy and super easy!!
Thanks!
So pleased to hear about your success! Thanks for trying it out. 🙂
Hello sue. I do interested to try korean cuisine. And i would like to ask you, is it chilli powder same with pepper flakes? I afraid they might be different result of taste. So hard to found pepper flakes in my place. I had made kimchi but i used chilli powder. I wonder chilli powder could ruins my kimchi taste?
Hi Elina, people who cook Korean food uses the term red pepper flakes and red chili powder interchangeably. Korean chili powder/pepper flakes tastes different to the indian/thai/mexican kinds of chili powder. So if you used just any chili powder for your Kimchi other than the Korean kinds, it won’t taste like authentic Kimchi and yes, it can ruin the Kimchi taste if you use the wrong kinds. I have written about Korean chili powder in this post ( https://mykoreankitchen.com/2006/12/15/chili-powder-gochutgaru-in-korean/) a long time ago. While it’s not very comprehensive, you can get some basic idea about it.
Hi Sue, Iv recently come onto Korean cooking do to a restaurant in my town. The first time I had Bibimbap the lady recommended a mild sauce. It looked nothing like the Gochujang red sauce that I have come to enjoy. But it was very tasty! It was clear with a bit of yellow and sesame seed in it but otherwise completely translucent. Very watery not paste at all. Any ideas what it mite be? They are not keen to tell me 🙁
Hi Blair, unfortunately I haven’t come across the sauce you’re describing for Bibimbap. I’m very curious to find out though! Humm I will let you know once I see anything like it!
I’ve been wanting to make bibimbap at home for a while now, but wasn’t sure I could do it justice. This is so beautiful! I cannot wait to try it!
Thanks Caroline! I hope you get to try my Bibimbap recipe! It’s not too hard. It just needs some coordination skills. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Yum, I’ve been eating this all week.
You’ve inspired me and been featured on here –> http://chefuy.blogspot.com/2013/12/gentlemans-bulgogi-for-my-bibimbap.html
I’ll have to try make the sauce from scratch when I have time (ie not studying for medical exams -_-). Shame the Korean store is super far away from my apartment *sigh*
Hey Natalie, Thanks for trying out my recipe. Yes! Definitely try the sauce from scratch. You will enjoy your bibimbap even more with “my ultimate bibimbap sauce”. 🙂
Hey Sue…thanks a lot for sharing this recipe! Am new to Korean cuisine and the only dish I have heard of…is bibimbap! Decided to try it for tonite’s dinner and a google search brought up ur blog. Pics for each step is really helpful and makes the dish preparation a breeze 🙂 To get as close to the authentic version…searched for a korean grocery store near my workplace and bought the gochujang paste! Bookmarking your site to get introduced to more korean dishes! Thanks again Sue 🙂
Hi Anu, I’m glad you found my blog! 🙂 I hope you enjoy making your first bibimbap! For sure, come back for other Korean recipes. I would love to share the joyful experience. 🙂
Looks so delicious and surprisingly quite simple!
I’ve really wanted to make bibimbap at home for a while, and this looks fairly easy to follow!
If you have a moment, would you mind checking out my blog please? Thank you! 🙂
I love the Korean metal spoon/chopsticks. Any idea where I can get them?
It depends on where you live Roy. Typically a Korean grocery store carries them. You can also try Amazon. http://amzn.to/2nvYMAi
If you are in the U.S. try your local H-Mart. I am lucky enough to have one close by in Chicago. Also a good source of ingredients!
I just posted my bibimbap recipe and linked back to your awesome sauce! 🙂
Thanks Leslie! Your bibimbap looks very delicious. Glad to hear you enjoyed the sauce so much! 😀
I’ve been trying to replicate a chili sauce I was served over bibimbap at a Korean restaurant, and your recipe is even better!! It will be my go-to recipe from now on–makes all the difference to bring out the flavor of a bowl of bibimbap.
Great! I’m very pleased to hear that you liked the sauce so much!! Enjoy!
YES! This is my most favorite Korean dish (well, I have too many that is tie, so I should say one of my most favorites). I always order it when I go to Korean restaurant. I really want to buy the stone bowl too… 🙂 I can’t wait to try your recipe!
perfect meal in a bowl, right amount of every goodie you need to be healthy and foodie…delicious 🙂
I agree. 🙂 Thanks!
I have been wanting to give bibimbap a try and now thanks to you I can. The recipe sounds scrumptious!
I hope you get to try Bibimbap soon, Nancy! It’s very delicious food. 🙂
Looks great! We love bibimbap at our house too! Your sauce is different then mine though. I will have try it your way next time – granted it might have to wait since it is summer here and it is too hot to make dulsut bibimbap in the house 🙂
Even though I presented Bibimbap in a clay pot, I didn’t cook it in the pot. It’s just a presentation. 😀
That is a good idea. But the kids do like to have the pot hot and a raw egg cracked on top so they can ‘cook’ their dinner. 🙂
I’ve never had bibimbap before and I really want to! Looks so good.
You should definitely try this! It’s very healthy and of course, delicious!
it is so famous indeed and I’m so ashamed I have never tasted nor tested it! (I make my own kimchi and never prepared bibimbap!). Thank you for this clearly explained recipe. The photos are so tempting I would prepare it now if it wasn’t 10:30 pm 😉
Really!? I can’t believe you’ve never had this before. You cook so many other Korean dishes though. 🙂 You should give it a try! Since you can eat Kimchi, you can handle this well too.
I love bibimbap and yours look so delicious, Sue! Yummy pictures, too!
Thanks Sandra! Of course, I know you love bibimbap. You love every Korean food, right? 😉 I also just checked out your bibimbap recipe. Gee, you really did study a lot. I was super impressed. 🙂
I absolutely love this recipe. I have it once a week. It’s very hot here, so last night, I had it on romaine, spinach and napa cabbage (sacrilege, I know) and it was so delicious.
Thanks Susan, I’m so happy to hear you love my recipe! Enjoy!
