Note to self: This recipe was inspired by Alina, one of my lovely snapchat followers! It was totally yummy and the spicy Korean sauce used to coat the beef was spicy and went well with all the other ingredients. I decided to repurpose the Mongolian beef from the previous recipe instead of using ground beef. If you don’t have any on hand you can totally substitute the Mongolian beef with ground beef, ground turkey or even ground chicken. They’ll all work really well just remember to season with some salt and pepper.
I love how the presentation looks at the end, it’s one of the prettiest rice bowls that I’ve seen…Though a little funny tidbit..I made the sunny side up egg just for the picture. Then after I got the glamour shots I took it off and cooked it until the yolk wasn’t runny anymore. Lol! Both Moudi and aren’t fans of runny yolks so we hardly make them…even though I’m dying to do a yolk porn video…before you guys say anything get your minds out of the gutter people ::eye roll:: It’s where you take a poached egg or a runny egg and pop it with your fork and you see all the yellow yolk ooze out. It’s one of the top trending IG videos after food porn and I’m excited to do a video or boomerang once I go home for thanksgiving. I want to make poached eggs with hollandaise sauce and over a bagel with lox and cream cheese. I know for sure my brother will love it and eat it. Anyways, definitely give this a shot and shoutout to Alina for this recipe!

- Drain water from rice.
- In a medium pot bring 1¾ cups of water and ½ tsp of salt to a boil.

I always have Bibimbap in a Korean restaurant, never made it myself, have to save this recipe 🙂
You’ll love it! Especially if you make the Mongolian beef from the previous recipe and have some left over! It’s perfect in this dish!
That’s a great tip, thanks! 😀
Nice recipe
Thank you!
