Korean Style Mixed Rice Bowls (Bibimbap)

April 3, 2019 by Keri 17 Comments

These Korean style mixed rice bowls (AKA bibimbap) are a fun way to eat my Instant Pot Korean beef! Toss in some crisp veggies, sautéed mushrooms, a fried egg, kimchi, and a delicious gochujang mayo for the ultimate bowl. 

Remember that tasty Korean beef from last week? Well here is one of my favorite ways to enjoy it: Korean style mixed rice bowls. AKA bibimbap.

Bibimbap is just a mixed rice bowl common in Korean cuisine. You can really make these with whatever stuff you’ve got in your fridge. However, I decided to make a few easy vegetable components to add along with the beef, plus a fried egg and the most delicious sauce for drizzling over top.

Now, I’m not claiming that these are authentic by any means, but seriously this is one of my new favorite things to eat. All of the flavors and textures are simply amazing. Plus, my research on bibimbap revealed that raw meat and eggs are common and there’s no way I’m game for that.

A lot of the Korean bloggers I came across also said it’s a way they use up their leftovers and that bibimbap can be made with whatever you love. So, here’s my version!

First up is the beef, which is super easy and made in the Instant Pot. (Or, you could easily make it in the slow cooker!) Then we lay that over some cooked rice.

And now we get creative with the fun add-ins:

  • Sesame Cucumbers: sliced cucumbers tossed with sesame oil, rice vinegar, and black sesame seeds.
  • Carrot-Spinach Salad: toss the veggies with rice vinegar and sesame oil
  • Garlic shiitake mushrooms: sauté sliced shiitakes in a little bit of oil and lots of garlic
  • Fried egg: everything is better with one!
  • Kimchi: a common Korean side that I’m now obsessed with.
  • Gochujang mayo: a chili flavored mayo with some vinegar and lime added. It’s definitely not traditional, but it’s super delish.

My mouth waters just talking about these rice bowls and I already can’t wait to make ’em again.

I should also mention you can take all of these ingredients and roll ’em up in a big flour tortilla for the best burrito of your life. Just sayin’.

    Hi Keri,

    It looks delicious, pretty, easy and healthy. Definitely going to try! I think, my family would love it. What happens if I leave out the Sesame Oil?

    Well, if bibimbap was a game, this would be the ultimate high score! It’s got all the toppings you could ask for – crispy rice, colorful veggies, a spicy kick – a real team effort in every bite! It’s like a party in your bowl where everyone gets along.

    Decision paralysis! Sounds like the perfect antidote to boring dinners. One time I faced a similar problem of too many delicious choices when building a custom burrito, I swear it took me 15 minutes, the staff looked like they wanted to toss me right into the Geometry Dash tortilla press!
