🍚 Step-by-Step: Making the Perfect Bibimbap

1️⃣ Prepare the Vegetables

Start by heating sesame oil in a skillet — the aroma alone sets the tone! Sauté your carrots and zucchini until slightly softened, then toss in bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms. Season lightly with salt and pepper for balance.

2️⃣ Stir-Fry the Rice

In the same skillet, reuse those flavorful bits by adding cooked rice, scallions, soy sauce, and a pinch of pepper. Stir and heat until the rice becomes fragrant and coated in seasoning.

3️⃣ Cook the Eggs 🍳

In a separate nonstick pan, cook your eggs sunny-side up — firm whites with rich, runny yolks. This golden topping ties everything together.

4️⃣ Assemble & Serve

Scoop your seasoned rice into bowls, arrange the colorful vegetables on top, and crown each serving with an egg. Serve with Sriracha on the side so everyone can adjust the spice level to their taste.

💡 Pro Tips

✨ Use day-old rice for that perfect fried-rice texture.
🥬 Add kimchi or marinated tofu for extra depth of flavor.
🌶 Adjust the spice level by controlling the amount of Sriracha or adding gochujang (Korean chili paste).
