Laura Kim (@tokibunbun<\/a>) is a Creative Director, designer, and food lover based in New York City. As the founder of MONSE<\/a>, she’s known for her eye for beauty and detail\u2014both in fashion and in the kitchen. Cooking is her form of self-care, and she believes great meals start with high-quality ingredients.

One of Laura’s signature meals is the Korean dish bibimbap. She’s sharing her personal recipe<\/a> with us\u2014here’s what she has to say about it:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Bibimbap is one of my favorite meals to make. It\u2019s one dish and totally customizable based on what\u2019s in season. I try to make mine as colorful as possible\u2014so that every bite is packed with different vitamins and nutrients. <\/em>I make sure I am always stocked up on Asian pantry items (FreshDirect’s<\/a> selection is so impressive!) as well as seasonal\u00a0<\/em>vegetables.<\/i><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

What to do:<\/span><\/p>

1. Cook the rice <\/span>and keep warm.\u00a0<\/p>

2. Marinate the beef:<\/span> Slice beef into bite-size pieces and marinate at least 15 minutes in a mix of soy sauce, garlic, honey, scallion, shallot, and sesame oil.<\/p>

3. Prep the veggies: <\/span><\/p>

– Blanch the spinach 30 seconds, squeeze, and season with 1 teaspoon sesame oil, a pinch of salt, and toasted sesame seeds.
– Cut carrot into matchsticks, saut\u00e9e 2 minutes in avocado oil, season with salt and sesame seeds.
<\/span><\/span>– Julienne the zucchini, saut\u00e9e 2 minutes in avocado oil, season with salt and sesame seeds.
– Quickly saut\u00e9e the mushrooms with the bulgogi marinade.
– Thinly slice shallot, saut\u00e9e in avocado oil until golden, and season with a pinch of salt.
– Cut cabbage into thin strips, saut\u00e9e 2 minutes in avocado oil, season with salt and sesame seeds.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Tip:<\/span> Cook each veggie separately in small batches so the colors stay bright. Sprinkle sesame seeds as you go.<\/em><\/p>

4. Prepare the proteins:<\/span> Pan-fry the marinated beef until browned.\u00a0 Fry eggs sunny-side up (on rice paper if using).<\/p>

5. Make the sauce:<\/span> Whisk all sauce ingredients until smooth.<\/p>

6.<\/span> Assemble bowls:<\/span> Fold the coconut oil into the warm rice, then spoon rice into 4 shallow bowls and drizzle lightly with sesame oil. Arrange the cooked veggies, kimchi, and beef in sections around the bowl like a rainbow. Place fried egg in the center. Top with microgreens.<\/p>

Drizzle bowls with the sauce, sprinkle over sesame seeds, and mix well before eating.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
