Description

This bibimbap recipe is a vegetarian version of the classic Korean rice bowl with warm white rice and tender mixed veggies, topped with a fried egg.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 cup carrot matchsticks
1 cup zucchini matchsticks
1/2 (14 ounce) can bean sprouts, drained
6 ounces canned bamboo shoots, drained
1 (4 1/2 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
1/8 teaspoon salt to taste
2 cups cooked and cooled rice
1/3 cup sliced green onions
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
3 eggs
3 teaspoons sweet red chili sauce, or to taste

Directions

1 Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir carrot and zucchini in the hot oil until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms. Cook and stir until carrots are tender, about 5 more minutes. Season to taste with salt; transfer vegetable mixture to a plate.
2 Stir cooked rice, green onions, soy sauce, and black pepper in the same skillet until the rice is hot.
3 In a separate skillet over medium heat, melt butter and gently fry eggs, turning once, until the yolks are still slightly runny but the egg whites are firm, about 3 minutes per egg.
4 To serve, divide hot cooked rice mixture between 3 serving bowls and top each bowl with 1/3 of the vegetable mixture and a fried egg. Serve with sweet red chili sauce.
