I made a HUGE batch of bolognese (for lasagna, naturally) and now we’re working our way through the remaining sauce.
So far, I haven’t come up with anything too exciting, just the usual: homemade pasta, that sort of thing. Then I spotted our stone bowl in the cupboard, just begging to be used to crisp up some rice. I guess I had a moment of brilliance because, um, why not crispy rice topped with bolognese, cheese, and a runny egg?
Sometimes, when I was a kid and my mom made meat sauce and there was no pasta in the house – we’d have all sorts of Asian noodles of course – I’d scoop up a spoonful of sauce and eat it on rice. Pure comfort food. This reminds me of a better, grown up version.
Bolognese Crispy Rice Dolsot Bibimbap Bowls
Savory, saucy meat sauce on top of fluffy rice in a hot stone bowl, topped off with cheese and a slow poached egg.
Serves 2
Ingredients
- 1 tsp oil for the stone bowl
- 1-2 cups white rice how much depends on the size of your bowl
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1/2 cup bolognese sauce
- 1 slow poached egg
- Parmigiano Reggiano cheese grated
- fresh flat leaf parsley finely chopped
Special Equipment
- Stone Bowl
Instructions
- Heat up a stone bowl, lightly oiled, over medium-low heat until very hot.
- Add the rice to the pot, and top with cheese and sauce. Place the egg on top and make it rain parmesan. Add parsley, if using.
- If you’re serving it at the table, carefully bring the bowl to the table. Mix everything up, pushing the rice up the sides of the bowl. You should hear a bit of a sizzle. Let crisp for a couple of minutes. The mix of rice and cheese will form a crispy frico/socarrat. The longer you wait, the crispier it will get. Enjoy!
Notes
Feel free to use your favorite bolognese sauce and type of egg. I had some slow poached eggs in the fridge, so it worked out well for me, but a simple soft boiled egg or crispy sunny side up egg would work just as well.

oh my. dolsot bibimbap is one of my favorite things (just not when i’m impatient and i’m waiting for the rice to crisp a little more before i devour), and there’s a place with amazing spicy tuna over crispy rice in the middle of california, all of which to say that i love crispy rice. and crispy rice + bolognese sounds just as delicious as all the other crispy rice delicacies!
Does it have it have to be a stone bowl? Will cast iron work?
cast iron will definitely work!
That’s what I thought,
I added a layer of very thinly cut romaine ‘confetti’.
Easy to fix and innovative— the ‘stone bowl’ hype is a bit precious…
Bolognaise is one of my favourite foods but I have never had it with rice it sounds incredible!
It seems like a mixture of Korean food and Italian food)Rice made with stone bowl taste so good. It must be awesome.I really wanna try that one heheh
Wow!!It looks very very delicious!!
I’ll try to make meat sauce
Thank you for share:)
Dolsot bibimbap is one of my favorite korean food. If you want to eat spicy, You’ll be able to add some chili peppers. I like sound, when it heated. When i see the recipe, i want to eat that for luncy
Looks like fantastic?
But , I prefer pasta to rice of bolognese.
Cause bolognese sauce is sweet. So I think pasta is more perfect.
Anyway I’m very hungry..?
I want to eat some food now :)
It looks so delicious.
And I think this one is better than original bibimbap
It looks very delicious!!
I think more delicious gochugang( korea traditional sauce) in the recipe instead of bolognese sauce☺️☺️
