Bi Bim Bop Korean Rice Bowls
A delicious way to eat your damn veggies! Easily add some grilled meat, if it pleases you. Bi Bim Bop is an amazing way to gobble up your miss-matched veggies that are about to go bad. But what ties it all together?! Glad you asked 😉
Korean hot sauce is basically the greatest thing to happen to food. Sweet, spicy, and umami, it is that special sauce to bring this dish together. My favorite in Chicago resides at Crisp, but they don’t deliver to my area so I did the next best thing…I made my own KOREAN SASSY-ASS SEOUL SAUCE. That’s what I learned while living in France. Can’t get it? Make it. Anyways, without further ado: Bi Bim Bop Rice Bowls!!!

Ingredients
- 1 cup rice, uncooked, rinsed
- 2 cups kale, chopped, packed
- 2 medium carrots, cut into batons (picture below)
- ¼ head cauliflower, broken into bite-size pieces

QUICK-PICKLE RED ONION
- recipe linked below!
Instructions
FOR THE QUICK-PICKLE RED ONION! (do these first so they can sit)
- Follow recipe HERE! Can be made an hour to a day ahead of time! Longer it sits, the better the flavor will be!
FOR THE RICE AND VEG!
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Prepare my KOREAN SASSY-ASS SEOUL SAUCE. Altogether it takes maybe 10 minutes. YOU GOT THIS!
- Cook rice according to package instruction. The Instant Pot is pure perfection here with a 1:1, rice:water ratio. For white rice: high pressure for 4 mins, then quick release. For brown rice: high pressure for 21 mins, then quick release.
- In a medium bowl, toss kale with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Place on ⅓ of a baking sheet. Repeat with carrots, then with cauliflower.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Remove kale here unless you like it charred (I love it charred). Put carrots and cauliflower back in oven and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes or until desired char-ness is achieved.
- While the veggies are baking, prepare your eggs as you wish.
THE CLIMAX!!!
- Divvy up rice equally between 2 bowls. Top with kale, carrots, cauliflower, quick-pickle red onion, fried eggs, toasted sesame seeds, and all the Korean Sassy-Ass Seoul Sauce your little heart desires!!!
Notes
JUST THE TIPS!
1.) Set up your ‘mise en place.’ This means do what the recipe tells you to do to the individual ingredients, measure them out, and then place them in separate little bowls/dishes/what-have-you. When it’s time to build the recipe, you have everything measured and ready to go. It makes the entire process so much easier and more enjoyable!
2.) Kale, for whatever reason, becomes very salty, very quickly. Therefore, use a light hand when salting your kale!
