Drain, cool for a couple of minutes, then squeeze some of the water out. Stir fry in about 1 tsp vegetable oil over high heat until tender, then set aside in separate bowl.Ĭook spinach for two minutes in a pot of boiling water. Peel carrots if using whole, then slice into small sticks. Stack your egg pancakes as they’re cooked, then slice into thin strips and set aside in in a separate bowl. Use a small pan over medium heat and shake the pan as you’re adding eggs so they spread out into a thin egg “pancake.” Cook about a minute, then flip and cook the other side for another minute. Crack four eggs into a bowl, beat well, then cook about 1/4 of your eggs at a time in a little vegetable oil. Set beef aside to marinate while you cook up the other ingredients. 8 did this part, and turned out to not be such a huge fan of getting his hands all into raw meat and oil, lol. (It should go without saying, but: Wash hands well both before and after this step!) Mr. While that’s going, mix all marinade ingredients in large bowl and slice beef against the grain into thin strips.Īdd beef to bowl with marinade, stir well, then squish it around with your hands for a couple of minutes. I also only made one cup rice (uncooked) instead of the two in the original recipe because low carb Mashup Dad won’t eat it and Junior High Guy only ever likes a little.ĥ Tbsp soy sauce (use a gluten free brand such as San-J to make this recipe gluten free)ġ lb tender lean beef (such as sirloin tip)Ģ carrots (I used the end of a bag of baby carrots)Ĭook up your rice (I made mine in a rice cooker): One cup rice to two cups of water. This is not my recipe it’s from Bee-bim Bop by Linda Sue Park! My only minor changes were to use baby carrots (all I had), halve the amount of bean sprouts (I was the only one who ate them anyway), and use jarred minced garlic instead of cloves. I picked up a little over a pound of sirloin tip steak at $4.89/lb at my local produce market, but this might be a recipe where you’d watch for clearance beef and then construct the rest of the recipe around that. The beef will be the most expensive part of this recipe, but it only calls for one pound of tender lean beef (such as sirloin tip).

8 really wanted to give it a try this week, so in the words of Linda Sue Park: “Hurry, Mama, hurry, gotta shop shop shop!” This week’s Sunday Scratchups (your weekly recipe from scratch around grocery sales and affordable ingredients) features Bee-bim Bop, from the book of the same name. We never got around to making the recipe in the back of the book for all these years, though. We’ve had this book about making this traditional Korean dish since he was a baby and it’s a perennial favorite - the illustrations are adorable, the rhymes are catchy, and it’s a fantastic read-aloud. 8’s favorite books in the whole world: Bee-bim Bop, by Linda Sue Park.
