Argentinian-style Bibimbap

Ingredients

While the original Bibimbap is typically made with Korean ingredients such as gochujang (red chili paste) and kimchi, our Argentinian-style Bibimbap incorporates elements of Argentinian cuisine. We substitute the gochujang with chimichurri sauce, a popular Argentinian condiment, and add grilled beef as a nod to the famous Argentinian beef culture. We alse have the original recipe for Bibimbap, so you can check it out.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Bean sprouts — Blanch the bean sprouts in boiling water for 1 minute, then rinse with cold water to maintain their crunchiness.

Tips & Tricks

• For a spicier kick, add a few drops of hot sauce or sprinkle red pepper flakes on top.
• Customize your Bibimbap by adding sliced avocado, pickled onions, or roasted sweet potatoes.
• Substitute the grilled beef with grilled chicken or shrimp for a different protein option.
• Use leftover chimichurri sauce as a marinade for other meats or as a flavorful dressing for salads.
• To achieve a crispy rice crust, let the rice sit in the hot skillet for a few minutes before adding the toppings.
