Preparing the Fish

  1. 1

    Season the Fish

    Coat each fish fillet with olive oil, then sprinkle Cajun seasoning evenly over both sides.

  2. 2

    Cook the Fish

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the fish for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through and flaky. Drizzle with lemon juice before removing from heat.

    Prepare the Pickling Mixture

    In a bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.

    Add the mung bean sprouts to the pickling mixture and let them sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Preparing the Cucumber

  1. 5

    Slice the Cucumber

    Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise and then slice into thin half-moons.

  2. 6

    Season the Cucumber

    In a bowl, toss the cucumber slices with salt and sesame oil. Let sit for 10 minutes.

Assembling the Bibimbap

  1. 7

    Prepare the Bowls

    In each serving bowl, place a cup of cooked rice as the base.

  3. 9

    Garnish

    Add sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and a fried egg on top of each bowl.
