Recipe 🍳

  1. Divide the prepared rice into four separate bowls.
  2. Add stir-fried mushrooms to the first bowl, spinach greens to the second, and stir-fried meat to the third. Mix each with toasted sesame oil and salt.
  3. Add one tablespoon of gochujang to the fourth bowl and mix thoroughly to make it spicy.
  4. Lay out the rice roll seaweed and cut half of its width horizontally from the bottom center toward the middle using scissors.
  5. Evenly spread each of the four types of seasoned rice onto the four sections of the seaweed.
  6. Starting from the cut edge, fold the seaweed clockwise in sequence to form a square shape.
  7. Cut the roll cleanly in half so the cross-section is visible and present it neatly.
  1. Mix each vegetable and seasoning with rice separately to prepare four different types of bibimbap.
  2. Cut half of one side of the seaweed down the center and fill each of the four quarters with rice.
  3. Fold them in order and slice in half to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • The ultimate cold-weather meal for creatively using up various leftover vegetables and side dishes in your fridge.
  • Avoid making the rice too thick, as it may cause the roll to lose shape when folding—spread the rice as thinly and evenly as possible.
