Instructions
Marinate beef (or protein of choice) in ingredients listed and let set while other vegetables are prepared.
Prepare cucumbers in marinade and let set until preparation of bi bim bap. Prior to assembling the bi bim bap bowl, drain ad squeeze out excess liquid.
Cook Delta Blues Jasmine rice in water. Boil for 15 minutes, and then allow to set for 10 minutes to continue absorbing water.
Prep remaining vegetables by slicing them then. Cook them separately, sauteing 4-5 minutes in a clean non-stick skillet of wok. I used canola oil to cook my vegetables so it would not discolor them and keep the colors vibrant. Lightly salt each vegetable after cooking. Cook mushrooms last, as they are the darkest.
Quickly prepare spinach salad, quickly sauteing spinach and onions. Set aside.
In a hot skillet, cook thin sliced beef on a high temperature. Do so quickly, no more than 5 minute, until all the deep red is gone.
In the bottom of a dolsot bowl coated with sesame oil, place a helping of rice. Arrange the vegetables around the edge of the rice, and place the beef on top of the rice. Top the beef with the fried or poached egg.
Place dolsot bowl on top of heat and cook until you hear the rice sizzle. I suggest cooking 5-10 minutes on an electric stove.
If you don't have a dolsot bowl, simply place components in regular bowl and serve.
