6-Minute Microwave Bibimbap — So Easy, So Delicious! 😍😋

meat (beef or chicken)

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Tofu is a plant-based protein, while ground pork is often less expensive than beef.

Rinse 2 handfuls of soybean sprouts well and drain the water.

Cut half a zucchini into thin matchsticks.

Slice 1/4 of a carrot into thin and even pieces.

Put all the sliced vegetables into a microwave-safe dish.

Add thinly sliced beef to the dish.

Sprinkle a little salt and black pepper over the ingredients.

Add 1 tablespoon of cooking wine, 1 tablespoon of tuna fish sauce (or soy sauce), and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic.

Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid and cook for 5 minutes, adjusting time depending on your microwave.

While the vegetables are cooking, fry 2 eggs in a pan until the yolks are just a little runny (this step is optional).

Take the dish out of the microwave; the veggies should have released moisture and flavors should have come together.

Add 2 handfuls of washed spinach on top of the cooked vegetables and microwave for just 1 more minute, being careful not to overcook the spinach.

Scoop a bowl of warm rice and place the cooked vegetables and beef on top.

Add the fried egg and sprinkle some sesame seeds over the dish.

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and about 1/2 tablespoon of gochujang, mixing well.

If the dish tastes a little bland, add about half a tablespoon of soy sauce.
