Cooking Instructions
Step 1
This recipe serves 2. You’ll need one medium-sized can of tuna. We’re also preparing a pack of crunchy bean sprouts and fresh greens like lettuce and perilla leaves to add texture and freshness.
Step 2
First, wash all your vegetables thoroughly under running water. It’s crucial to drain them well to prevent the rice from becoming soggy. Gently pat them dry with paper towels for best results.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the star of our bibimbap: the sauce! In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of gochujang, 1 tablespoon of plum syrup, 1 tablespoon of oligosaccharide syrup, and 1/3 tablespoon of minced garlic. Mix everything until well combined. For an extra nutty aroma, you can add a pinch of toasted sesame seeds.
Step 4
Chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Cutting them too thick can make mixing difficult, so aim for uniform, manageable sizes.
Step 5
Place the warm cooked rice into a large bowl. For bibimbap, it’s best to use fluffy, separate grains of rice – avoid overly sticky or mushy rice!
Step 6
Artfully arrange the chopped vegetables on top of the rice. Pile them generously to create a colorful and appealing presentation that will whet your appetite.
Step 7
The oil from canned tuna can make your bibimbap greasy. Use a teaspoon to press down on the tuna in the can, draining out as much oil as possible. This step ensures a clean, non-greasy flavor.
Step 8
Add the drained tuna and a generous amount of your prepared sauce on top of the vegetables. Feel free to adjust the sauce quantity to your personal preference.
Step 9
Finally, drizzle a little sesame oil over everything for that irresistible nutty aroma. Now, all that’s left is to mix everything together with chopsticks or a spoon and enjoy your delicious homemade Tuna Bibimbap!
