For the seaweed umami sauce, combined all the sauce items in a blender (I used a magic bullet). It should be a loose paste consistency.
Rinse the dried mushrooms thoroughly and then soak in boiling water for 25 minutes until soften. Squeeze out excess water and chop mushrooms into small bite sized pieces.
Heat Mei Wok on medium heat and add enough oil to coat the wok. Add mushrooms, 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce and black pepper and stir fry. Cook for 5 minutes until fully cooked. Remove from wok and set aside.
Add more oil to the wok and the 4 cups of COOKED rice. (the oil will make your rice extra crispy! ) Add the cooked mushrooms, add as much or as little of your seaweed sauce, 1/4 cup cheese and half of your green onions on top.
Set the Mei Wok to medium heat and mix up your bibimbap incorporating all the ingredients. Spread across the wok as flat as possible to develop a nice crispy rice crust on the bottom.
After 4 mins a nice crispy layer should form, add some more cheese , green onions and optional furikake to garnish.
Make sure to share the crispy parts with everyone since that is the best part !
