Magic Sauce Vol.02: Fresh Tuna Bibimbap (Tuna Vegetable Rice) (Korean Recipe)

Aloha! 🌺

Have you tried making my Magic Sauce from the last post? I hope you made enough of it, because I have 5 more amazing new recipes you can make with that sauce!

As you know, Bibimbap is a very famous and yummy Korean dish. However, cooking traditional Namul (steamed and seasoned vegetables) takes a very long time because you must cook and season each vegetable separately. Even for me, it takes about two hours to prepare all the traditional ingredients!

So, here is a better, faster recipe for us. I am going to use fresh vegetables instead of steamed ones. And, no wonder, I’ll be using my Magic Sauce! Now it only takes 15 minutes to make a yummy, fresh bowl of Bibimbap!!!!!!

🛒 What You Need (Ingredients)

• Carrot: Shredded

• Egg: 1 (fried sunny-side up!)

For the Tuna Sauce:

• Magic Sauce: About 2 Tbsp (Check out my [Magic Sauce Vol.01] post!)

• Kimchi: 3 Tbsp (finely chopped and fully squeezed out)

👩‍🍳 Preparing the Ingredients

1. Cook a warm bowl of rice.

2. You can add any kind of fresh vegetables for this recipe. Just wash them and shred them thinly! (Chef's Tip: You can even use a fresh, pre-washed coleslaw salad mix from the grocery store to save time!)

3. Make the Tuna Sauce: Put the squeezed tuna, chopped/squeezed Kimchi, and sesame oil into the Magic Sauce. Mix it all together! (Don't forget to squeeze the excess liquid out of the Kimchi and tuna to keep the sauce thick.)

4. Fry an egg to your liking (a runny yolk is the best for Bibimbap!).

🥄 How to Eat Like a Korean!

1. Put the cooked warm rice in a big, wide bowl.

2. Add as many fresh, crunchy vegetables as you want around the rice.

3. Place your fried egg beautifully on top. You may also add some sliced Nori (sushi seaweed) as a topping!

4. Add a generous dollop of your Tuna Sauce and mix it all together with a spoon.

Taste test while you mix! You may add more sauce if it is a bit bland, or add more rice if it is too salty.

This is soooooo easy as long as you have the Magic Sauce in your fridge. And I guarantee the amazing taste!

When you have no idea what to make for dinner and you have some leftover vegetables sitting in your fridge, you can make this. You almost always have eggs and canned tuna at home, right?

Oh, I am telling you this just in case... Please only make it with canned tuna. Please don't try salmon... :)

Nom nom nom!!! My mouth is watering just writing about it!!! 🤤 Enjoy your quick and healthy meal!

Mahalo! 🌺
