Bibimbap (Korean Rice With Mixed Vegetables)

Korean bibimbap, along with kimchi, takes its place among the favored foods in Korean cuisine. Meaning mixed rice, bibimbap is a popular meal consisting of white rice topped with vegetables, beef, a whole egg, and gochujang (red chili pepper paste). You can substitute with soy sauce or Sriracha (rooster sauce) for those who cannot handle the spiciness, like our children.

Stir together cucumber pieces and gochujang paste in a bowl; set aside.

Step 5
Brown beef in a clean nonstick skillet over medium heat, about 5 minutes per side; set aside.
