Preparation
- Step 1
Position racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and heat oven to 450 degrees.
- Step 2
On a large sheet pan, arrange the mushrooms, sweet potato, red onion and kale into four separate quadrants. Drizzle the vegetables with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat, keeping the types of vegetables separate. Try to not crowd the vegetables; you want them to brown, not steam. Roast on the top rack until the sweet potato is fork-tender, the onion and mushrooms are slightly caramelized and the kale is crispy but not burnt, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Step 3
Meanwhile, place another large sheet pan on the bottom rack to heat. When the vegetables are almost done cooking, in the last 5 minutes or so, remove the heated pan from the oven and evenly drizzle the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil on it. Spread the rice over half of the pan. Crack the eggs onto the other half and carefully transfer to the oven. Bake until the whites are just set and the yolks are still runny, 3 to 6 minutes (this time may vary depending on your oven, so watch it carefully).
- Step 4
To serve, divide the rice evenly among four bowls. Now divide the vegetables evenly as well, placing them in four neat piles over each portion of rice. Use a spatula to slide the eggs over the vegetables. Drizzle each bowl with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and dollop with 1 teaspoon of gochujang, adding more if desired. Mix everything together with a spoon or chopsticks before diving in, and serve kimchi alongside, if you prefer.

Straight gochuchang is very thick and not usually served without thinning with other ingredients. Gochuchang is mixed with soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar and minced garlic to make the sauce that is mixed into bibimbap. Just google bibimbap gochuchang sauce. Or more simply, just mix with water and sesame oil.
For the gochuchang, you want to make a sauce (don't use the straight paste!): 2 to 3 tablespoons gochujang paste 1½ tablespoons rice vinegar 1 tablespoon sesame oil 1 tablespoon maple syrup You can also add a splash of soy sauce.
I like to press cold, cooked rice into a large, very hot cast iron skillet that’s been coated with sesame oil; I turn the heat down and allow it to crisp, evenly divide and place in heated bowls, then fry the eggs in the same skillet.
While not the most traditional recipe perhaps, this was pretty fast + easy for a busy weeknight and really freaking delicious! I added leftover roasted chicken to the pan with eggs/rice for extra protein, made my own gochujang sauce, and served with kimchi and a quick bean sprout salad. This will 100% be added to my dinner rotation!
Second time I've made this, and it won't be the last. Delicious! The only changes I make are to cook the kale separately, for about 7-10 minutes; cook the rice for about 15 minutes, so it gets crispy; and cook the eggs separately. The straight gochujang is lovely, though I'd never have thought to use it that way—everything is mixed together, so it works. I'd say it makes two large portions, no more—but those are LARGE and very filling portions.
The kale burned immediately! Was anyone able to actually roast kale for 25 minutes without it burning?!?
Nope! The onions burned too...
