Bibimbap!
Thanks to Eva‘s excellent advice, today I finally found my way to the mythical hidden Asian grocery store behind Woolie’s Town Hall. (Take the first left past Platform 9 3/4, basically.) I was able to get both Korean ingredients that I’ve been having trouble finding: gochujang (spicy bean paste) and “kucho karu” (really hot chili flakes). With these, I was finally able to put together some bibimbap! It’s basically rice with a bunch of veggies and meat on top. For the veg, I had carrots, zucchini, spinach, and mung bean sprouts. Each one was blanched and then seasoned with garlic, sesame oil, and salt. The beef was thinly sliced sirloin that we wok fried with garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and black pepper. I also got a fresh daikon and made some fresh daikon salad to go on the side. Then we mixed a bit of gochujang through, and YUMMO! Now I just need to get some stone bowls so we can do dolsot bibimbap and put a fried egg on top.
Bibimbap!
