My bibimbap burger is a hand-held take on the ever-popular Korean dish, bibimbap. If you’re not familiar with the dish, “bibim bap” literally means “mixed rice”. Here’s a post that I wrote a couple of years ago. It’s typically comprised of a few seasoned vegetables, sometimes meat, and always rice; and all served in a bowl. To thoroughly enjoy the bibimbap experience, you mix everything together with a spicy, tangy, sweet kochujang-based sauce (recipe to follow).
I’ve made the buns out of rice (think onigiri or Japanese rice balls) and seasoned the beef patty. One of my favorite vegetables in bibimbap is moo saengchae or radish salad. It took a couple of tries to get the right thickness for the rice buns, but 1/2-inch seems to be the ideal thickness. To make the eating experience a little less messy, I’d advise wrapping it in parchment.
This burger takes a few steps, but well worth it!
Bibimbap Burger #BurgerWeek #Giveaway
Ingredients
- 4 rice buns
- 2 beef patties
- 2 leaves of lettuce butter or red leaf, washed and dried
- KM's Yangnyumjang sauce yummy hot sauce
- Moo saengchae radish salad
Rice "Buns"
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups uncooked medium-grain white rice
- 2 cups water
- Cooking oil
Instructions
- Throw the rice and water into a rice cooker and cook.
- Once it's done, scoop the cooked rice into a small bowl and let cool for about 15-minutes.
- Find a shallow bowl or use a food storage container or any mold that is about 4-inches in diameter. Take a sheet of plastic wrap, about 12"x 12" and drape it into your mold.
- Scoop about 3/4 cup of the cooled rice into the wrap. Press the rice and you fold the plastic wrap over. Press down firmly to let out the air. Compressing it helps to make a denser and sturdier "bun".
- Repeat for the remaining rice.
- Place in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
- Heat a large non-tick skillet over medium heat. Add a couple of cooking oil.
- Cook the buns on the first side for 5 minutes or until golden. Flip and cook for about 4 minutes. Set aside.
