Seasoning for Stir-frying Siraegi

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, rinse the boiled siraegi under running water and gently squeeze out excess moisture. Then, finely chop the siraegi into bite-sized pieces. Using a food processor can make this step quicker and easier.
Step 2
Prepare the other vegetables: green onions, shiitake mushrooms, and onion. Finely mince the green onions and shiitake mushrooms. Remove the core from the onion and dice it finely.
Step 3
If your siraegi is quite tough, it’s a good idea to pre-soften it before proceeding. This step ensures a more pleasant texture.
Step 4
In a pot, add 300ml of water, fish sauce, and soy sauce for soup. Once the water boils, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the chopped siraegi. Simmer for about 10 minutes until the siraegi becomes tender. Drain the siraegi well after cooking.
Step 5
Once the siraegi is tender and the liquid has reduced to a desirable consistency, you can move to the next stage. (If there’s still a lot of liquid, drain it before proceeding).
Step 6
Now, get ready to combine the finely chopped green onions, shiitake mushrooms, and onion with the siraegi.
Step 7
It’s time to stir-fry everything together with the seasonings to develop the flavors. Add the chopped vegetables to the siraegi and begin stir-frying.
Step 8
Heat 2 tablespoons of perilla oil in a pot over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and the finely chopped vegetables (green onions, shiitake mushrooms, onion). Sauté until fragrant. Then, stir in 2 tablespoons of doenjang and 1 tablespoon of gochugaru. Continue to stir-fry for about 5 minutes, making sure not to burn the ingredients.
Step 9
Pour in 100ml of broth (or rice water) and bring it to a simmer, allowing the ingredients to meld together. Once it starts bubbling, remove the lid and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, letting the moisture evaporate to achieve the desired consistency. This step deepens the flavors.
Step 10
Serve a generous portion of the finished siraegi bibimjang over warm rice. Drizzle with a little perilla oil or sesame oil to your preference and mix well for a delicious meal.
Step 11
This homemade siraegi bibimjang makes for a wonderful, satisfying one-bowl meal. Enjoy a hearty and healthy dining experience!
