Before you start

  • Pull out a large frying pan, a medium frying pan, a medium bowl, a grater, a peeler & a measuring jug

Get sizzlin'

  • Heat the large frying pan with 1/2 tsp olive oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork and cook for 7 mins, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until golden and cooked through
  • Quarter the lime. Squeeze in the juice from half the lime and season with salt. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside

Make the cucumber salad & prep

  • Meanwhile, peel the cucumber into ribbons and place into the medium bowl with one-third of the tamari and one-third of the chilli paste (for those who'd like more heat). Toss to coat, then set aside
  • Thinly slice the spring onions. Trim the pak choi and cut into bite-sized pieces. Coarsely grate the carrot

Build the dish

  • Reheat the large frying pan with 1/2 tsp olive oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the carrot, pak choi and spring onion and cook for 2-3 mins, until softening
  • Stir in the gochujang, honey, remaining tamari, one-third of the chilli paste (for those who'd like more heat) and 50ml water (25ml for 1 person)
  • Add the rice to the pan and break it up with a wooden spoon. Mix in the pork and cook for 2 mins, until the rice is piping hot

Sunny side up

  • Heat the medium frying pan with 1/2 tsp olive oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, crack in the eggs and cook for 2-3 mins, until the whites have set and the yolks are runny. Season lightly with salt and pepper

Plate up

  • Share the pork bibimbap between bowls, with the cucumber salad alongside. Top with the fried eggs
  • Scatter over the sesame seeds. Finish with a drizzle of remaining chilli paste (for those who'd like more heat) and garnish with the remaining lime wedges
