Add some cooking oil and 1/4 tsp of fine sea salt in a wok and cook the carrots on medium high to high heat for two to three minutes.

Clean/rinse the shiitake mushrooms and thinly slice them. Add some cooking oil and 1/4 tsp of fine sea salt in a wok and cook the mushrooms on medium high to high heat until they are all cooked. (It takes two to three minutes.)

Make fried eggs. (While sunny side up is common, you can make them per your preference.)

Put the rice into a bowl and add the meat, assorted vegetables, seasoned seaweed, Bibimbap sauce and the egg on top.
