Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

1 pack fresh oysters (as needed)
1 handful bean sprouts
1 serving instant rice
1/8 onion
1/5 cucumber
1 cheongyang chili pepper
1/4 green onion
50ml muk ganjang
100ml water
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp sesame oil

Recipe 🍳

Dice the onion, cucumber, cheongyang chili pepper, and green onion into a coarse dice to preserve texture.
In a bowl, combine 50ml muk ganjang, 100ml water, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and 1 tbsp sesame oil. Add the prepared vegetables to make a special bibim seasoning sauce.
Add a handful of clean bean sprouts to boiling water and blanch until cooked. Remove and set aside. (Do not discard the blanching water; it can be reused for soup.)
In the same boiling water, add the rinsed fresh oysters and blanch lightly until about 60-70% cooked.
Immediately transfer the blanched oysters to cold water to cool completely, then drain in a colander.
Heat the instant rice in the microwave and place it in a bowl. Top generously with the blanched bean sprouts and plump oysters.
Pour an appropriate amount of the prepared bibim seasoning sauce over the top and gently mix before eating.

Finely chop onion, cucumber, chili pepper, and green onion. Mix with soy sauce seasoning ingredients to make the sauce.
Blanch bean sprouts in boiling water and remove. Lightly blanch oysters in the same water, then rinse in cold water.
Place warm rice in a bowl and top with blanched bean sprouts and oysters.
Serve with the sweet and sour vegetable seasoning sauce and mix to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

If you cook oysters too long, they shrink and become tough. Blanch only briefly so the juices are locked in and they stay plump and chewy.
Adding plenty of cucumber and onion to the seasoning sauce amplifies the crunchy texture and refreshing taste.
