    as needed

Instructions

  • 1
    Start by cooking the rice according to the package instructions.

    Rinse the short-grain rice thoroughly and cook it with the appropriate amount of water in a medium saucepan. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

  • 2
    While the rice is cooking, prepare the vegetables.

    Peel and grate the carrots, slice the zucchini into thin rounds, and trim the green onions. Rinse the bean sprouts and drain well. Set the vegetables aside.

  • 3
    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.

    Once the oil is hot, add the grated carrots and sliced zucchini. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Add the bean sprouts and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

  • 4
    Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet.

    Crack an egg into the empty side of the skillet and scramble it until it is cooked through. Repeat with the remaining eggs.

  • 5
    To assemble the dish, place a scoop of cooked rice into a bowl.

    Add a portion of the vegetable and egg mixture on top of the rice. Drizzle with soy sauce and sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with green onions and serve immediately.

    I'm so glad I tried this Vegetable Gyeran Bap recipe! As a Brazilian, I'm used to big, bold flavors, but I love how this Korean dish brought a new kind of comfort to my table. The combination of short-grain rice, vegetables, and a fried egg is a winner - it's like a warm hug in a bowl! I did find the soy sauce a bit too salty for my taste, but that's just a minor adjustment. What I love most about this recipe is how easy it is to make and share with friends and family. It's a perfect dish for gathering around the table and enjoying good company. My only suggestion would be to tone down the spiciness - I'm sensitive to heat, and I prefer milder flavors. Overall, I'd highly recommend this recipe to anyone looking for a delicious and easy meal that's perfect for sharing.

    I realy like this recipe. Its kinda like bibimbap but with egg insted of meat. I like that its spicy becuz of the black pepper and i can add more chili flakes if i want. The ingredientes are all good for me, no milk or cheese so thats a plus. The instructons are easiy to folow, i just need to cook the rice and the vegetable and egg separatly and then put everyting togeter. My only complaint is that its not as spicy as i like, but i can fix that. I wil defenitly make this agen, its a good meal for a quick dinner or lunch.

    I tried this Vegetable Gyeran Bap recipe and was pleasantly surprised by its simplicity and flavor. As someone who appreciates Pakistani and Middle Eastern cuisine, I enjoyed the combination of vegetables, egg, and rice. The dish reminded me of a Pakistani-style fried rice, but with a Korean twist. I appreciated that it wasn't spicy, which suits my taste preferences. The recipe was easy to follow, and the ingredients were readily available. I would recommend this dish to anyone looking for a quick and nutritious meal. However, I might consider adding some halal-certified soy sauce to ensure that the ingredients align with my dietary requirements.

    I must say, this Vegetable Gyeran Bap recipe didn't quite tickle my fancy. As a vegetarian with a penchant for traditional Gujarati cuisine, I found the dish to be a tad bland and lacking in the umami flavors I'm accustomed to. The combination of soy sauce, sesame oil, and vegetables, while nutritious, didn't resonate with my taste buds. Perhaps a dash of ghee or a sprinkle of spices commonly used in Gujarati cooking, like cumin or coriander, would elevate this dish to my liking. I appreciate the ease of preparation and the emphasis on wholesome ingredients, but I wouldn't say this recipe is a game-changer for me. **Room for improvement, but not a bad effort**

    This korean dish is ok, i like rice and eggs, but its not very spicy. I mean, where's the chili? I added some hot sauce and it was better. The vegetables are fine, but i prefer meat. Maybe add some beef or chicken next time. The flavors are good, but its not my favorite. I'd eat it again, but i'd rather have tacos

    Evaluation of Vegetable Gyeran Bap recipe: A satisfactory Korean dish. The incorporation of various vegetables, such as carrots, zucchini, and bean sprouts, provides a commendable nutritional profile. The addition of a fried egg, although not vegetarian, could be substituted with a tofu or tempeh alternative to accommodate dietary preferences. The recipe's simplicity and ease of preparation are notable advantages. However, the absence of Indian-inspired flavors and ingredients, which I typically favor, results in a slightly lower rating. Overall, a well-structured recipe with room for modification to suit individual tastes.

    A symphony of flavors, but not quite hitting the high notes for me. I appreciate the harmony of textures in this Vegetable Gyeran Bap recipe, but as someone who usually craves the hearty, comforting rhythms of traditional Irish pub food, this dish feels a bit off-beat. The short-grain rice and vegetables are a great start, but I find myself missing the rich, satisfying melody of a Guinness beef stew or the warm, comforting chords of a shepherd's pie. And, as a gluten-intolerant friend, I wish there were some gluten-free alternatives suggested for the soy sauce or other ingredients. Still, I applaud the creativity and simplicity of this Korean-inspired dish, and with a bit of tweaking to suit my dietary needs, it could be a real showstopper. Perhaps a substitution of gluten-free soy sauce and some Irish flair, like a sprinkle of fresh parsley or thyme, could bring this recipe to a standing ovation?

    Ah, Gyeran Bap, ye say? Well, I'll give it a go, but I'm a veggie fella at heart, don't ye know? This Korean egg rice dish is a grand idea, but I'm missin' the heart o' gold that comes with a proper shepherd's pie. That bein' said, the combo of scrambled eggs, veggies, and rice is a crackin' good start. The flavors are as fresh as a Dublin morning, but it's a bit too... Eastern for me, if ye catch me drift. Still, I can appreciate a good stir-fry, and the addition of soy sauce gives it a nice je ne sais quoi. I'd say give it a bash if ye're feelin' adventurous, but if I'm bein' completely honest, I'd rather have a slice of soda bread with me tea. Now, that's comfort food, so it is!

    I try this Vegetable Gyeran Bap recipe. It is okay, but not my favorite. I like Korean food, especially Korean BBQ, but this dish is very simple and no meat. I love spicy food, but this recipe not very spicy. I add some gochujang sauce to make it more spicy. The rice and vegetables are good, but I think it need some protein like beef or pork. I also like that it is easy to make and not too expensive. Overall, it is a good recipe for vegetarians or people who want a light meal.

  • ZahraAH

    Alhamdulillah, I tried this Vegetable Gyeran Bap recipe and it was quite nice, mashallah. As someone who loves traditional Somali dishes like sabaayad and hilib ari, I was curious to try something new and Korean. The combination of rice, vegetables, and a fried egg was comforting and easy to make, insha'Allah. I appreciated that the ingredients were simple and halal-friendly, which is important for me. However, I wished for a bit more flavor, so I added some extra soy sauce and sesame oil, alhamdulillah. Overall, it's a great option for a quick and nutritious meal, and I'd recommend it to those looking for a modest and respectful recipe, praise be to Allah.

    OMG, I am **SO** here for this Vegetable Gyeran Bap recipe!!! As an adventurous eater who's all about trying new and exotic flavors, I was stoked to dive into this Korean dish. The combination of short-grain rice, sautéed veggies, and a fried egg is absolute **perfection**. I love that it's easy to make and uses sustainable ingredients like bean sprouts and green onions. The fact that it's plant-based-friendly (minus the egg, of course) is just the cherry on top. My only suggestion would be to add some spicy kick with gochujang or sriracha - but hey, that's just me being a flavor fiend . Overall, I'm obsessed with this recipe and can't wait to make it again (and share it with my friends who are all about that #foodjustice life). **TL;DR:** 4/5 stars, would def make again with a spicy twist

    Fair play to the recipe for tryin', but this Vegetable Gyeran Bap just didn't cut the mustard for me. As a meat-lover, I was missin' a good bit of protein to make it feel like a proper meal. I mean, eggs are great and all, but I'm talkin' bacon, sausages, or a nice bit of beef. The veggies were a bit bland, too - I like a bit of spice and flavor in me grub. And don't even get me started on the lack of Guinness in the recipe! Now, I know it's not traditional Irish fare, but a pint of the black stuff would've really made this dish pop. On the plus side, it was easy to make and the ingredients were pretty straightforward. If you're lookin' for a light, veggie-packed meal, you might enjoy this. But for me, it was a bit of a disappointment. Maybe with a few tweaks - like addin' some Irish sausage or a splash of Guinness - this recipe could be a real winner.

  • CaspianB

    Yooo, just made this Gyeran Bap recipe and it was pretty meh, tbh. I mean, I love a good spicy kick, but this dish was way too veggie-heavy for my taste. I'm not a huge fan of veggies, lol. The egg and rice part was on point, though! I added some hot sauce to give it a lil' boost. Would I make it again? Maybe, but I'd def need to tweak the recipe to fit my snack game. More spice, less veggies, pls! 3/5 stars, would rec for fellow noobs who wanna try something new, but don't expect me to make it again anytime soon, lol.

    I must admit, I approached this recipe with a mix of curiosity and trepidation. As a vegan, the inclusion of eggs and the potential for animal-derived ingredients in the soy sauce immediately gave me pause. Unfortunately, my initial reservations were confirmed upon closer inspection. The reliance on animal products and the lack of creative, plant-based substitutions left me underwhelmed. That being said, I can appreciate the simplicity and nutritional value of this dish. With some thoughtful modifications, such as swapping out the eggs for a tofu scramble or using a vegan-friendly soy sauce, this recipe could be transformed into a delightful, cruelty-free meal. As it stands, however, I fear it falls short of my expectations. Perhaps, with a bit of artistic license and a dash of creativity, this dish could be reimagined to align with my values and tastes.
