Dol sot bibimbap

Cuisine: Korean Servings: Serves 4 Created by Suzanna Kim - Jang Won Restaurant

This is the most delicious mix of beef, rice and slivered vegetables which have been blanched and dressed with sesame oil and soy sauce for extra flavour, all cooked in a stone bowl to make the rice at the sides of the bowl golden and crispy. To eat, mix the whole egg and pepper paste through and eat – with a spoon.

Korean chilli paste*
3 cloves garlic, crushed
4 tbsp sesame oil
Soy sauce
Salt and pepper
4 cups hot cooked white rice (short grain)* (see method at Step 1)

Preparation

Wash and drain rice with cold water three times. Put into saucepan and place your right hand on top of the rice. Fill with cold water until the water just covers the top of your hand. Place on stove with lid on and on high heat leave for approx 20 minutes.

Slice scotch fillet into thin slices no more than 5cm long and combine with soy sauce, pepper, some of the sesame oil, garlic and a pinch of sugar. Stir fry until beef is golden brown. Remove from stove and allow to rest.

Soak the dried mushrooms in water until they become soft. Slice thinly and mix with sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic and pepper.

Cut the carrots, radish and zucchini into matchstick sized slices. Heat sesame oil in a large pan and sauté the carrots with a teaspoon of garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper, remove from pan and place carrots into a bowl. Repeat the above process with the radish and zucchini as well. Set aside.

Bring water to the boil and blanch spinach for approx 15 seconds, repeat with the yellow bean sprouts. Combine with salt, crushed garlic and sesame oil. Set aside.

Pour a teaspoon of sesame oil in the base of each stone bowl. Divide rice between the 4 stone bowls. Arrange all ingredients on top of the rice side by side around the bowl. Put a teaspoon (or more depending on taste) of the Korean chilli paste on top of the vegetables and in the middle of the bowl place an egg yolk. Pour a tablespoon of sesame seed oil around the edge of the bowl

Place stone bowl on top of stove and on high heat leave for approx 5 minutes or until you can hear the rice popping and crackling.

Remove from heat and serve. Be very careful as the stone bowl will be extremely hot.

Bowls

There are so many Korean grocery stores around the city. They usually stock those bowls. Just to name a few, there's a store on Lonsdale St, a few shops down from 7-eleven. There are also 2 stores near Victoria Market that I usually go to for Korean ingredients. They have the bowls as well.

Bowls

I found bowls at "Xoung Hoc Asian Supermarket" on Stud road (near Knox shopping centre) that aren't stone (they are ceramic) but can be heated up to use the same way. Of course, they don't stay hot for as long but they certainly suffice!

where to find yerba mate

online at www.yerbamateaustralia.com.au is a great site but if you're ever in Richmond pop into Cafe Tango. They have a great range of Yerba Mate at the best prices I've seen around!!

No Gas?

If you only have electric flat burners (like me) invest in a portable gas burner. K-Mart, Big W, etc sell them for around $15-20 along with the gas cannisters which cost around $10-12 for 6. Each cannister last for approx 20-40 minutes cooking time depending. Plenty to heat your dol-sot!

Where to buy yerba mate

I have found a website in Australia - www.layerbamate.com.au -They are located in melbourne and you can also arrange to visit them directly so you dont have to pay for shipping. They are real cheap too, $4 for 500g of Taragui Red.

Yerba mate

Hi Dan Try Monica's Cake Shop 14 Hosken St Springvale South, VIC 3172 or Casa Iberica 25 Johnston St Fitzroy, they both sell yerba mate - not sure about the bombilla straw, Casa Iberica should sell the bombilla.

Wow, look easy!

I always ordered this dish at my favorite Koreal restaurant. It's very delicious and healthy (plenty of green). I didn't know it's pretty simple to make. Thank you so much for showing this video, I'll try it in my kitchen.

Pepper paste

A Korean friend thinks you should mix a little white vinegar in with the paste - about a tea spoon of vinegar for a tablespoon of paste - this makes it a little more tangy and gives it the right consistency to mix well in the bowl. I lived in Korea for a while and it did seem to make the taste more like the Bibimbap served in Seoul.

This dish is Fantastic!!! There is an incredible Korean restaurant on Victoria St in Richmond, with amazing staff. It's called Korean BBQ, where your dinner table is also a bbq stove and you can watch your food cook! A must for food lovers.

Pepper paste

Delicious one pot meal - has vegies and meat! Can anyone recommend to me a good brand of pepper paste. The two Korean pastes I tried is very red in colour but kinda taste bland. I tasted in a restaurant a yummier one, but has a lighter in colour. Is that still a pepper paste or another type of sauce/paste?

Where to find mate/yerba mate

Can anyone advise where in melbourne you can buy mate tea and the bombilla drinking straw. I can find websites but they are from overseas and the shipping cost is fairly high.
