  1. POPPIN’ QUINOA!

    Rinse the quinoa and place in a pot. Submerge in 200ml of salted water and place over a medium-high heat. Pop on a lid and bring to a simmer. Cook for 12-15 minutes until the quinoa is tender and its tails have popped out, adding more water if required during cooking. On completion, drain if necessary and return to the pot. Replace the lid and allow it to stand off the heat for at least 5 minutes.

  2. PICKLE & SPICY MAYO

    In a bowl, add the cucumber matchsticks, julienne carrots, radish rounds and ½ of the sweet pickling liquid. Toss to combine, season to taste and set aside to pickle. In a small bowl, mix together the sriracha (to taste) and the kewpie mayo. Add water in 5ml increments until a drizzling consistency. Season to taste and set aside.

  3. TOASTED SESAME!

    Place the sesame seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until the white ones are lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool.

  4. STICKY UMAMI MIXTURE

    Place a pot over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the quartered mushrooms for 4-5 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Stir through the rinsed lentils, bibimbap sauce, and the remaining sweet pickling liquid. Reduce the heat and simmer for 4-5 minutes until coated and slightly sticky, shifting occasionally. On completion, seasoning to taste. Remove from the heat, cover to keep warm, and set aside until serving.

  5. KOREAN-STYLE FEASTING!

    Plate up the protein-filled quinoa, spoon over the sticky lentils and mushrooms and side with the assorted pickled vegetables alongside one another (bibimbap style!) Dollop over the sriracha mayo and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Happy Feasting!
