My Award-Winning Recipe for Mushroom Bibimbap/受賞したレシピ「きのこビビンバ」

Just a short note to tell you that I won the Special Award with my mushroom bibimbap recipe (Japanese only) in the recipe contest conducted by the Uonuma Kinoko and Sansai Promotion Association.

魚沼きのこ・山菜振興協議会主催のレシピコンテストで、きのこビビンバのレシピーで特別賞を受賞しました。

I'll provide more details of the recipe when I have more free time. Features of my recipe include the use of a single frying pan only (and two bowls).
もっと暇がある時にレシピーの詳細を書きます。私のレシピーの特徴はフライパンを一つしか使わないこと(ボールは2つ)です。

Recipe title: Kinoko Bibimbap
Ingredients for 8 servings

400 g ground pork

1 pack oyster mushrooms
1 pack eryngii mushrooms


1 bunch spinach
1 pack bean sprouts
1/2 carrot

400 g kimchi

Seasonings * As I mentioned in the Comment field, taste after adding kimchi to decide how much seasonings to add.
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp mirin
2 tbsp "Kimchee Base"

Sesame oil

Note: Use a single large frying pan (diameter of 28 cm or greater). Two bowls are necessary.

Directions:

1. Put a large amount of water in a frying pan, and put on the stove.
2. Cut carrot into julienne strips and put in a colander.
3. Cut spinach into 3 cm lengths and put in another colander.
4. Wash bean sprouts and put in the colander containing spinach.
5. Cut oyster mushrooms into appropriate size. Cut eryngii mushrooms into julienne strips of the same size as "zenmai" (flowering fern sprouts).
6. When the pan comes to a boil, put carrot. 1 min. later, add spinach and bean sprouts (with the carrot kept in the pan), and boil for 2 min. Put in a colander to drain. Cool with cold water and squeeze.
7. Lightly wash the frying pan used in 1., wipe off moisture, put ground pork, turn on the heat, and fry (no oil required).
8. When the pork is nearly cooked (it need not be fully cooked), add the vegetables in 6., put on a lid, heat on medium heat for about 1 min. to fully cook pork.
9. Add kimchi, mix well, and taste. Decide on the amounts of soy sauce, mirin, and Kimchee Base to add.
(I decided to add 2 tbsp of each because it needed some saltiness and spiciness.)
10. Finally, sprinkle sesame oil for flavoring.

Cooking time: 20 min. if you do quickly by following the Directions.
Comment: Bibimbap is very popular among local elementary and junior high school students. Recently, it is more popular than curry. I had heard what it was like, and this year, I visited the Kyushoku (School Lunch) Center to see how bibimbap and other dishes were made. I sampled bibimbap for the first time and was able to confirm what it tasted like. Later, I made it with almost the same recipe at home, which delighted my children. Subsequently, I make it with some changes in my own way. This time, I made it using oyster mushrooms as the main mushroom and eryngii as a substitute for zenmai. The cooking time and the ease of cooking are important factors for me, so I decided to make it with a single frying pan. (Two colanders are necessary). I started making it past five, and completed it at 5:25.
I have a slight metabolic syndrome and hypertension, and I am currently losing weight, so out of concern for calories and salt content, I fried ground pork without oil, and I did not add seasonings at this point, tasted after adding kimchi and decided how much seasonings to add. I used home-made, not-so-spicy kimchi, so I added some Kimchee Base, but if you use store-bought spicy kimchi, you won't need Kimchee Base. You can add gochujang instead. If you don't want to make it spicy, add some Japanese miso. Sprinkling sesame oil at the last minute is a trick of mine to make its flavor stand out not in the kitchen but on the table.

Note:  While translating the original recipe written in Japanese, I found that I had mixed up the two words zaru (colander) and bowl.  I should have written, "Two colander and bowl sets are necessary."

コメント 給食の献立として地元の小中学生に大人気のビビンバ。最近ではカレーより人気があります。どんなものか大体は聞いていましたが、今年、給食センターでビビンバなどがどのように作られるのか見学し、また初めて試食をして、どんな味か確認することができました。その後、家でもほぼ同じレシピーで作ってみて、子供たちに喜ばれました。その後は、自分なりにアレンジして作っています。今回は、メインのきのことしてヒラタケ、ゼンマイの代わりとしてエリンギを使って、作ってみました。料理時間と料理の手軽さも私にとっては重要な要素なので、今回は、一つのフライパンで作ることにしました(ざるは2つ)。5時過ぎに始めて、5:25には完成しました。
また、私自身が軽いメタボ・高血圧で、減量中なので、カロリー、塩分を気にして、豚の挽き肉は油なしで炒め、調味料もこの時点では加えず、キムチを入れた段階で味見をして、入れる調味料の量を決めました。今回は自家製の、あまり辛くないキムチを使ったので、キムチの素を足しましたが、市販の辛いキムチを使えば、キムチの素は不要だと思います。もちろんコチュジャン(コチジャン)を入れてもいいです。辛くしたくなければ、日本の味噌を入れてみてください。また、最後にごま油を入れるのは、台所でではなく、テーブルでごま油の香りを引き立てるための、私の常套手段です。

注: 日本語で書いた元のレシピを訳している最中、ざるとボールをごちゃ混ぜに使っていることに気付きました。「ボールとざるがそれぞれ2つ必要」と書くべきでした。

I can't wait! That looks delicious! I'm a huge fan of bibimbop. There's a local Korean restaurant that I go to, I've never actually made it.

muskratbyte: I shouldn't keep you waiting and then disapoint you at the end.

The recipe is almost the same as this one:
http://hiro-shio.blogspot.com/2011/07/bibimbap-recipe.html
I simply made some modifications so I need only a single frying pan.
