## Measurements

Per serving:

- Eggs: 1
- Beef rolls for hot pot: 6 rolls (60g)
- Bean sprouts: 1 bunch (80g)

- Light soy sauce: 15ml

## Instructions

- Wash the vegetables, julienne them, and stir-fry in a pan until softened, then remove from heat.
- Boil water. When boiling, blanch the beef rolls until just cooked through, about 3 minutes, then remove.
- Fry a [sunny-side-up egg](../../breakfast/溏心蛋.md).
- Place the [rice](../../staple/米饭/电饭煲蒸米饭.md) in a small bowl, then invert it onto a larger serving bowl.
- Arrange the prepared vegetables and beef rolls in a circle on top of the rice, and place the fried egg in the center.
- Prepare the sauce:
  - 10ml Korean chili paste (Gochujang, sweet and spicy flavor) + 5ml light soy sauce + 2 capfuls of Sprite (for a diet-friendly version, use sugar-free Sprite) + 10g sesame seeds + 5ml sesame oil.
  - Stir the sauce well. Adjust taste with additional light soy sauce and salt if needed.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the arranged bibimbap.

## Additional Notes

- This is a very simple dish, though the process can be somewhat tedious. However, mixing the vegetables, meat, rice, and sauce together before eating is very satisfying.
- If presentation is important, you can use a traditional earthenware pot (dolsot) instead of a regular bowl.
