Prepare Vegetables
Julienne 1 carrot to matchsticks. Cut mushroom to thin slices.
Bring a pot of water to boil. Add in 1 cup mung bean sprouts and boil for 15 minutes. Remove from hot water and mix with 2 tsp sesame oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp minced garlic. Set aside.
Blanch 3-4 bunch of spinach in the hot water and remove. Squeeze out the water. Cut into 2" length and mix with 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp minced garlic, 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds. Mix and set aside.
Burdock, since it's already precooked, just cut to 2" length
Prepare Meat
Slice 300g beef into thin strips. Marinade with 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 2 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp toasted sesame seed. Mix and cover till ready to use.
To Cook
Heat pan over high heat. Add 1 tsp oil. Add in julienned carrots and saute for 1-2 minutes. Add 1/2 tsp salt and remove when its done.
In the same pan, add sliced mushroom and 1 tsp garlic and cook till it's softened. Add 1 tsp soy sauce and cook a further 1-2 minutes. Remove into a bowl.
Add some oil to the pan, add beef and cook till it's semi cooked. Check for seasoning. If serving in a regular bibimbap, without the stone pot, you can cook beef to more doneness. The doneness is up to you.
Assembly
If using stone pot, put 1 tsp sesame oil at the bottom of the pot. Divide rice into the pot. Arrange vegetables and meat on top.
Add 1 egg yolk per pot and 1 tbsp of gochujang. Add a drizzle of sesame oil on top and toasted sesame seeds.
Place it over the stove and let it heat up. Once you hear the crackling, ticking sound from the rice, it is ready. If serving in a normal bowl, top with fried egg instead and 1 tbsp of gochujang and toasted sesame seeds.
To eat, mix everything together till its well combined.
