Homemade Korean Tofu Bibimbap

One of my favorite dishes of all time is Bibimbap. If you haven’t heard of this Korean staple, I feel bad for you!

Basically, Bibimbap is a signature Korean Dish that actually means “mixed rice”. It’s traditionally served as a bowl of warm white rice topped with a variety of sautéed and fresh vegetables. It’s usually topped with a fried egg and some sort of protein (like beef, pork or tofu).

Once assembled…you take in all it’s beauty and vibrance. Then, you mix it all up and eat it. #nom

There are SO many different ways to make Bibimbap and I recommend substituting and adding vegetables as you see fit! Start with this basic recipe and then feel free to have some fun and switch it up!

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• 2 cups Rice cooked

Raw/ Prepped Veggies

• Handful of Fresh Raw Spinach
• 1/2 cup Breakfast Radish sliced
• 1/4 White Onion thinly sliced
• Handful of White Cabbage
• 2 Large Carrots sliced into small pieces
• Handful of Bean Sprouts
• 1/2 Cucumber diced
• Kimchi or find it at an Asian grocery store

Cooked Veggies/ Protein

• 2 Ears of Corn
• 1/4 lb Cremini or Shiitake Mushrooms sliced
• 1/2 Zucchini diced
• 1 Package Extra Firm Fried Tofu
• 1/4 cup Korean BBQ Sauce
• 3 tbsp Korean Teriyaki Sauce
• 1 tbsp Oil anything will work
• 1 Fried Egg

Method

 

1. Prep all your raw veggies. Set aside.
2. Prep your cooked veggies/protein! Start by dicing your tofu up into small pieces and marinating it in the Korean BBQ Sauce for at least a half hour.

   While that’s marinating, char your corn over a grill or stove top and then cut the kernels off of the cob. Set aside

   Then, cook your sliced mushrooms in the 1/2 tablespoon of Korean Teriyaki sauce for a couple of minutes until soft and all sauce is absorbed. Set aside. Do the same exact thing to the zucchini.
3. In a pan over medium, heat your oil up and add your marinated tofu. Cook until just heated through.
   
4. Create your masterpiece! Fill a large bowl with rice. Carefully place each vegetable around the perimeter of the bowl. Place your tofu in the center of all of the vegetables and top with a fried egg.

Side note…I find it helpful to place everything in little bowls as I prep them.

Voila! Done and delicious!

Love always,
