๐ฉโ๐ณ How to Make Bomdong Bibimbap
1๏ธโฃ Prepare the Bomdong
Bomdong is a young spring cabbage with low height and wide leaves. Trim the square base of the cabbage to easily separate the leaves.
2๏ธโฃ Wash and Cut the Leaves
Separate the leaves and soak them in water for about 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon vinegar to the water to help remove impurities. Rinse thoroughly and cut into bite-sized pieces.
3๏ธโฃ Make the Bibimbap Sauce
In a bowl, mix the following ingredients:
- 3 tbsp gochugaru
- 4 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 tbsp anchovy fish sauce
- 1/2 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tbsp perilla oil
- 1 tbsp allulose
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Mix until the sauce is fully combined.
4๏ธโฃ Season the Bomdong
Pour the sauce over the prepared bomdong leaves. Toss gently until the cabbage is evenly coated with seasoning.
5๏ธโฃ Assemble the Bibimbap
Add 1.5 bowls of warm rice to a large bowl. Place the seasoned bomdong on top.
6๏ธโฃ Add Egg and Finish
Top with a soft fried egg and sprinkle extra sesame seeds if desired.
7๏ธโฃ Mix and Enjoy
Mix everything thoroughly before eating so the sauce coats the rice and vegetables evenly.
๐ก Tips for the Best Bomdong Bibimbap
- Bomdong is sweetest and most tender in late winter to early spring.
- Perilla oil adds a nutty aroma that pairs beautifully with cabbage.
- Add shredded seaweed or roasted sesame oil for additional depth.
- For a protein boost, add sliced beef or canned tuna.
๐ง Storage
This dish is best eaten immediately. Once mixed with sauce, bomdong leaves release moisture and lose their crisp texture if stored.
