  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 23 tablespoons warm water

  3. Toss in 1 teaspoon of minced garlic along with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftover bibimbap sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent any odors from affecting the sauce.

Reheating: If you prefer a warm sauce, gently reheat it in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Alternatively, you can microwave the sauce in short bursts, stirring in between, until warmed through.

Serving: Drizzle the bibimbap sauce generously over your prepared rice and vegetables just before serving. Toss everything together for an even distribution of flavors, and feel free to add additional toppings like sesame seeds or sliced green onions for extra garnish.

Chef’s Tip: For an extra depth of flavor, consider adding a splash of toasted sesame oil or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce. This will enhance the umami and add a bit of heat, making your bibimbap even more delicious!
