Bibim Grain Bowl. Completely inspired by a recent visit to Young Joni in Minneapolis, this grain bowl is filled with cooked farro, sautéed brussels sprouts, carrots, zucchini, shiitake mushrooms, pickled vegetables, julienned daikon, a sweet and spicy gochujang sauce and topped with a soft boiled egg!! This is so good! 

A couple of weeks ago, I had the great honor and pleasure of teaching a kimchi making workshop at a Korean Immersion school, Sejong Academy, in Saint Paul, MN. I had such a great time meeting people and walking them through the kimchi making process. Earlier that morning, we actually prepped about 90 pounds of napa cabbage that day; certainly the most kimchi I have ever made in my life.

Everyone went home that day with some homemade kimchi that they mixed themselves and all the money we raised went to help send some students to Korea this May. I was so happy to contribute in some way.

While we were in Minneapolis, we checked out as many new restaurants as we could. The first being Young Joni, “Chef Ann Kim’s award-winning restaurant featuring wood fired pizzas, vegetables and globally-inspired dishes and a craft cocktail-focused back bar speakeasy.

A 2017 James Beard Best Chef Midwest semifinalist and 2018 nominee, Chef Ann Kim’s cooking is a reflection of American food as she sees America today—a continuing conversation between cultures, underpinned by a common enjoyment of quality ingredients cooked simply and served in ways that promote sharing and a sense of fun.  The menu is wholly inspired by wood fired cooking, including a diverse array of globally influenced sharable small plates and signature wood fired pizzas.”

We literally tasted about 9-10 dishes on the menu, including a few of her pizzas. Everything was amazing. I especially loved the Umami Mama and the Korean BBQ pizza. We also tried the Grilled Confit Mushrooms, Cauliflower (which was freaking amazing) and the Bibim Grain Salad.

This salad was so good I knew I had to come home and attempt to re-create it. Young Joni’s Bibim Grain Salad is a play on Korean bibimbap, mixed rice with vegetables. Her salad, if I am remembering this correctly was mostly cold. Cold, but still so flavorful and delicious.

This is my Bibim Grain Bowl, using the same elements that were in the Bibim Grain salad: farro, brussels sprouts, zucchini, mushrooms, pickled vegetables, daikon, nori, mixed seeds, soft egg and a gochujang vinaigrette.

If you’re even in the twin cities, you simply must make a stop into Young Joni. You will not be disappointed!
