Sheet-Pan Bibimbap
Bibimbap, the Korean mixed rice dish, is a kaleidoscope of flavors and textures. The popular dish has multiple origin stories and, like banchan and kimchi, many variations. Cooks who ordinarily keep namul (seasoned vegetable) banchan in the fridge may add them to a bowl with leftover rice and seasonings like spicy-sweet gochujang and nutty sesame oil, for example. Or, if starting their bibimbap from scratch, some may prep each component separately. But here’s a fun way to accomplish everything at once: Roast a melange of bits and bobs on one sheet pan as rice heats and eggs oven-fry on another. The caramelized sweet potato and salty kale in this formula come highly recommended, but you can use any vegetables on hand, reducing cook times for delicate options such as spinach, scallions or asparagus.
6 ounces oyster mushrooms, torn into bite-size pieces
1 medium sweet potato (about 6 ounces), scrubbed and thinly sliced into half-moons
1 small red onion (about 6 ounces), thinly sliced crosswise into half-moons
3 packed cups coarsely chopped Tuscan or curly kale (from 1 small bunch)
6 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 cups cooked medium-grain white rice, preferably cold leftovers
4 large eggs
4 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, plus more to taste, for serving
4 teaspoons gochujang, plus more to taste, for serving
Kimchi, for serving (optional)
Position racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and heat oven to 450 degrees.
