This is one of my favorite ways to enjoy rice on a busy weeknight as everything is cooked in one pot.
Kongnamul means soybean sprouts and Bap is means rice. The soybean sprout adds a nutty flavor to the rice with the meat and kimchi creating a delicious one pot meal. If you love bibimbap, you’ll love this simplified version.
What I love about this dish is that as long you have soybean sprouts and kimchi, you can add any meat or optional vegetables you have on hand. I cooked the rice and ingredients in a stone pot but you can use any pot or rice cooker to make this dish.
Serve with an optional fried egg and the sauce on the side for a delicious and satisfying meal or starter before dinner.
Meat / Seasoning Sauce Rinse and drain the rice a few times to remove the starch. Place the rice in a pot (or rice cooker), add the water, and set aside to soak for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, chop the meat into small pieces ( or use ground meat) and mix together with the seasoning. Set aside for 10 minutes to marinate. Wash and drain the soybean sprouts, removing any spoiled beans and set aside. Optional : Heat oil in skillet and sauté meat for a few minutes. The meat doesn’t need to be fully cooked. To assemble: spread the soybean sprouts over the rice and water and top with meat and kimchi. Cook the rice either on the the stovetop or rice cooker. For stove top: Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook for 15 minutes. Mix the ingredients together and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, covered. Turn off the heat and let rest covered for about 5 minutes. While the rice is cooking, make the sauce by mixing the ingredients together in a bowl. To serve: Top with optional fried egg and the sauce on the side
