Recipe

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sugar, red pepper powder, minced garlic, chopped green chili pepper, toasted sesame seeds, sesame oil, oligochaete syrup, and anchovy sauce. Mix well to make the seasoning sauce.
Wash the water dropwort thoroughly, then cut both stems and leaves into bite-sized pieces.
Gently remove excess moisture from the blanched clams and mix them into the prepared seasoning sauce, being careful not to break up the clam meat.
For side dish style: Add the pre-cut water dropwort to the seasoned clam mixture and lightly toss to combine.
For bibimbap style: Place rice in a bowl, spread the water dropwort evenly over the surface, then generously top with the seasoned clam mixture.
Finally, place the egg yolk on top and, according to taste, drizzle a little extra seasoning sauce around before mixing and enjoying.

Mix soy sauce, red pepper powder, garlic, green chili pepper, oligochaete syrup, and anchovy sauce to make the seasoning sauce.
Cut water dropwort into bite-sized pieces, and gently toss the blanched clams into the seasoning sauce.
Place rice in a bowl, layer with water dropwort and seasoned clams, then top with egg yolk to finish.

Cooking tips

Adding more anchovy sauce enhances the seafood umami of the clams and makes the overall flavor of the bibimbap much clearer.
Since water dropwort shines with its aroma and crisp texture, it's best to mix it in just before eating rather than letting it marinate too long in the sauce.
Cracking the egg yolk and mixing it in blends the spicy-sweet sauce into a smoother, more balanced texture—perfect for a satisfying one-bowl meal.
