Sticky Sweet Potato Bibimbap

Meanwhile, pour the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) into a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.

Stir in the rice,1/4 tsp salt and bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and cover with the lid.

Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).

In the meantime, trim the cucumber, then halve lengthways. Thinly slice widthways.

In a medium bowl, combine the rice vinegar and sugar for pickling (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper, then add the cucumber.

Mix together well, then set aside to pickle.

In a small bowl, combine the mayo, sesame seeds and water for the mayo (see pantry for amount). Mix together, then set aside your sesame mayo.

Put the gochujang in another small bowl and mix in the honey and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount). Set aside your sticky gochujang sauce. TIP: If your honey has hardened, pop it in a bowl of hot water for 1 min.

When the sweet potato has 5 mins left, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry until wilted, 2-3 mins, reducing the heat slightly if needed.

Once wilted, stir in the ketjap manis. Cook for 1 min, then remove from the heat.
