One Pot Bibimbap

One Pot Bibimbap

Bibimbap has a reputation for being a weekend-project dinner, with every vegetable cooked separately and a sink full of pans to show for it. This rice cooker version quietly ignores all of that. The vegetables steam right on top of the rice while it cooks, so the machine does almost everything while you get on with your evening. The magic is in the bibimbap sauce, a punchy mix of gochujang, sesame oil and rice vinegar balanced with Natvia Natural Sweetener instead of the usual sugar or honey. Drizzle it over the finished bowl, add a fried egg with a runny yolk, and mix the whole thing until every grain of rice is coated. It is a proper one-appliance dinner for two that tastes like far more effort than it took. Keep a batch of the sauce in the fridge and you will find excuses to use it.
