Method

Meat:

Marinate the beef in the meat sauce for about an hour, while you prepare the other ingredients. Cook the beef last in a wok on medium high for about 5 minutes.

Bibimbap:

Mix the ingredients in a bowl.

Seasoned spinach:

Boil 6 cups of water with 1 teaspoon of sea salt. Once boiling blanch the spinach for 30 seconds.

Drain the boiled water and run cold water on the spinach for 1 minute.

Squeeze the spinach to remove excess water. Then cut the spinach into 3 pieces.

Add the seasoning sauce (remember to halve the above ingredients) and mix well.

Seasoned Bean Sprouts:

Repeat above steps and replace the spinach with the bean sprouts.

Vegetables/Eggs:

Julienne the carrots. Add oil and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt into the wok and cook the carrots on medium high for 2 minutes. Remove.

Thinly slice the shiitake mushrooms and cook them on medium high heat in the wok for about 3 minutes - remember to add a further 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt.

Fry an egg for each serving.

To Serve:

Put rice into each serving bowl, add the cooked beef, vegetables, Bibimbap sauce and egg.
