  1. RICE & SHINE

    Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 150ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.

  2. PICKLED Cucumber

    In a bowl, combine the vinegar, 10ml of water, and 5ml of sweetener. Add the Cucumber rounds and toss until fully coated. Set aside to pickle.

  3. SPICY MAYO & Cabbage

    In a small bowl, combine the mayo and the Gochujang (to taste). Loosen with water in 5ml increments until a drizzling consistency. Set aside. Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the spring onion whites and the sliced cabbage until slightly softened, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final minute, toss through the sesame oil and seasoning. Remove from the pan and cover.

  4. MOUTHWATERING MUSHIES

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the trimmed mushrooms until golden, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final minute, add the soy sauce and 5ml of sweetener. Remove from the pan, season, and cover.

  5. OPTIONAL EGG

    Place a nonstick pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Crack in 1 egg and fry until cooked through to your preference. We like the yolk runny and the white just set! Remove from the heat and season. Drain the pickling liquid from the Cucumber.

  6. BIBIMBAP!

    Make a bed of jasmine rice. Top with the sautéed Cabbage, fried mushrooms, pickled Cucumber, and the shredded green leaves. Top with the fried egg (if using). Drizzle over the spicy mayo (to taste) and sprinkle over the picked coriander and spring onion greens. Tuck in, Chef!
