Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the Tofu: Place half a block of tofu in a microwave-safe bowl. Crumble it using your hands or a fork. Add a little water to cover the crumbled tofu, then microwave for 1 minute to lightly dry it out and make it softer. (This step makes the tofu creamier and more palatable.)
Step 2
Prepare the Cucumber: Wash the half cucumber thoroughly, then cut it in half lengthwise. Slice it thinly into half-moon shapes. Avoid slicing too thinly to maintain a crisp texture.
Step 3
Sear the Pollack Roe: Lightly grease a pan with olive oil and heat over medium-low heat. Place the pollack roe sacs in the pan and sear for about 1 minute on each side. Be careful not to overcook, as it can become dry. Once lightly seared, carefully remove the outer membrane and separate the roe (the eggs) for use.
Step 4
Assemble the Bibimbap: Place the warm brown rice in a serving bowl. Arrange the prepared tofu, sliced cucumber, and pollack roe on top of the rice attractively. Drizzle with 1 tsp soy sauce and 1 tsp sesame oil. Finish with sesame seeds. If desired, add wasabi and radish sprouts for extra flavor and texture. Mix well and enjoy! (Adding a bit of wasabi enhances the pollack roe’s flavor wonderfully.)
