This bibimbap bowl is inspired by my mom's recipe. Bibimbap is a Korean dish made with ground meat and different veggie sides served with egg and rice, and of course that bibimbap sauce.

Ingredients

Different vegetables go into this dish - carrots, cucumber, spinach (swiss chard and bean sprouts work well too).

We'll also use enoki mushrooms and eggs. Or use shiitake if you want too. Get pastured eggs, you'll really notice the difference. Ground pork is also used.

This dish also comes with a sweet chili sauce that is oh so yummy!

Bibimbap is usually served with white rice, but you can also use brown rice if you prefer. Or maybe even cauliflower rice or quinoa!

Let's Get Cooking

Cut up the carrots and cucumber into matchsticks, and trim the ends of the enoki mushrooms.

Sauté the enoki mushrooms in a little virgin coconut oil, then set aside.

Next sauté the carrots and spinach separately, then set aside as well.

In the same pan, cook the ground pork in coconut oil with tamari and coconut sugar. Turn off the heat and add the sesame oil.

Sweet Chili Sauce and Eggs

While the pork is cooking, prepare the sweet chili sauce. This version uses red curry paste (I use the Thai Kitchen brand), honey, minced garlic, sesame oil and gochugaru, Korean chili pepper, if you have any, or any chili powder.

In another pan, cook the eggs sunny side up in some coconut oil.

Making Your Bibimbap Bowl

In a bowl, add your choice of rice (white, brown or cauliflower rice) in the middle. Add the fried egg on top of the rice.

Place all the veggies, meat and mushrooms all around. Serve with the sweet chili sauce.

And maybe even some kimchi! See my kimchi recipe here.
