Bibimbap is a Korean dish that typically consists of a bowl of rice topped with various sautéed and seasoned vegetables, sliced meat (often beef), an egg, and gochujang, a sweet and spicy chili paste. This is by no means the traditional method of making it, but it’s fast and makes for an easy weeknight meal. In this microwaved adaptation, beef and mushrooms are cooked in a savory and slightly spicy sauce that’s perfect for serving over fluffy steamed rice. Add steamed spinach or vegetables, an egg, kimchi, or pickled veggies to make it a meal.
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.

Preparation
- Place the gochujang, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, mushrooms, and beef, into the Anyday dish and stir to combine.
- Cover with the lid (knob lifted) and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the meat is fully cooked and the sauce has reduced slightly.

Serving suggestions & tips
- Replace the beef with chicken or pork for a non-traditional alternative.
- Sub in bok choy or broccoli for the spinach if you’d like.
- For a vegetarian option, substitute tofu for the beef.
Recipe notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the beef and mushrooms in the gochujang, sugar, garlic, and sesame oil overnight in the Anyday dish with the knob pushed down.
- With a large group, this dish is best enjoyed family style! Put toppings in small bowls and let everyone build their own.
- Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
