Garlic Clove - 1 finely chopped

Kimchi - 80g

Spring Onions - 2 finely sliced


METHOD


PREP RICE | 15 mins

  • Cook the rice according to the instructions on the packet.


PREP SAUCE | 3 mins

  • Mix all the ingredients for the sauce together in a bowl and set aside.


PREP CRICKETS | 2 mins

  • Heat vegetable oil in a wok, and fry the crickets in there for 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper, then turn the crickets into a bowl and set aside.


PREP VEGETABLES | 10 mins

  • Put the spinach into a large bowl, then pour boiling water over to submerge it. Use a slotted spoon to keep it submerged, then drain it once it’s all wilted - about 2 minutes.

  • Once cool enough to handle, squeeze as much moisture out of the spinach as you can, and set aside.

  • Julienne the carrots and courgette. Finely slice the garlic and spring onions.

  • Heat vegetable oil in your wok, then add the carrots and season them well with salt and black pepper. Stir fry them for 2-3 minutes until just starting to soften, then turn them into a bowl.

  • Add the courgettes to the same wok, with a touch more oil if necessary, and season well. Stir fry for 1-2 minutes until softening, then turn them out into a separate bowl.

  • Add the spinach to the wok, along with the chopped garlic and a touch more oil, and stir fry for 2-3 minutes until the garlic is soft and fragrant. Turn it out into a separate bowl.


PREP YOUR BIBIMBAP & SERVE | 10 mins

  • Add a splash more vegetable oil to the wok, then fry the eggs in it. The whites should be crispy but the yolks still runny.

  • Add half the sauce to the bowl with the crickets, then stir to ensure they are all coated.

  • Divide the rice between two bowls, then spoon a little sauce onto each portion of rice.

  • Arrange the vegetables, kimchi and crickets in separate piles around the edges of the bowl, then put the fried egg on top.

  • Scatter the spring onion over the top, and serve with extra sauce on the side.
