Treat your ingredients with care...
- Collard greens — Remove the tough stems before chopping and make sure to wash them thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit.
- Black-eyed peas — If using canned black-eyed peas, rinse them well before adding to the dish.
- Smoked turkey — Use smoked turkey leg or wing for the best flavor. Remove the skin and bones before dicing.
Tips & Tricks
- Feel free to customize your Soulful Bibimbap by adding your favorite Soul Food ingredients like cornbread crumbles or fried okra.
- If you prefer a spicier version, drizzle some hot sauce over the dish before serving.
- For a vegetarian option, omit the smoked turkey and add extra vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini.
- Make sure to cook the eggs to your desired level of doneness. Runny yolks add a creamy richness to the dish.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
Serving advice
Serve the Soulful Bibimbap hot, straight from the skillet. The combination of flavors and textures is best enjoyed when the dish is freshly prepared.
Presentation advice
For an eye-catching presentation, arrange the colorful vegetables and smoked turkey on top of the rice in a circular pattern. Place the fried egg in the center and garnish with a sprinkle of chopped green onions or cilantro.
