Separating Components
Bibimbap is better when vegetables, rice, egg and sauce are prepared separately and mixed only when eaten.
This Bibimbap recipe combines rice, spinach, soy sprouts, carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, optional beef and fried egg. Each component is seasoned separately so that the peel tastes fresh, balanced and not muddy.
Why this recipe works
Bibimbap lives from separately prepared components. The rice forms the basis, the vegetables remain tender but firm, the egg brings creaminess and Gochujang provides spice. Sesame oil and roasted sesame come to the end so that the fragrance remains fresh.

Sesame oil is intense. Few drops at the end give fragrance without covering everything.
In a hot stone shell, crispy rice is produced on the ground. A normal shell also works.
