A Taste of Summer: Yeolmu Barley Bibimbap Recipe
Enjoy the vibrant flavors of summer with this Yeolmu Barley Bibimbap, enriched with fresh chives and radish salad.
Ingredients- 1 serving of barley rice (mixed with glutinous barley and brown rice or white rice in a 1:1 ratio)
- Well-fermented Yeolmu kimchi (young radish kimchi)
- Fresh chives and radish salad (buchu-mu saengchae)
- Sesame seeds, a pinch
- Gochujang (Korean chili paste) 1/2 Tbsp
- Sesame oil, a drizzle
- 1 fried egg
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
To make delicious barley rice, combine glutinous barley rice and brown rice (or white rice) in a 1:1 ratio and cook. Using slightly less water than usual will result in a fluffier texture, perfect for bibimbap. Once cooked, portion the barley rice into individual serving bowls.
Step 2
Generously top the barley rice with the crisp and refreshing Yeolmu kimchi, chopped into bite-sized pieces. Add the fragrant chives and radish salad to enhance the texture and flavor complexity. Finally, add 1/2 Tbsp of Gochujang in a swirl, adjusting to your preferred level of spice and sweetness.
Step 3
To complete your bibimbap, carefully place a fried egg on top. Breaking the yolk and mixing it with the rice will create a richer, creamier consistency. You can fry the egg to your liking, from sunny-side up to over-easy. Alternatively, scrambled eggs can be used, or you can omit the egg if you prefer. Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a drizzle of sesame oil for an extra burst of aroma and flavor. Now, mix everything together and savor your delightful Yeolmu Barley Bibimbap!
