Bibimbap is one of the most well known Korean dishes in both Korea as well as the world. The term “bibim” means mixing various ingredients, while “bap” means rice. Bibimbap is served as a bowl of warm white rice topped with sautéed and seasoned vegetables and a spicy gochujang-based bibimbap sauce. A raw or fried egg and sliced meat are common additions. The hot dish is stirred together thoroughly just before eating. This beautifully colored dish mixes together to create an incredibly delicious bowl of rice, meat and vegetables.

Bibimbap – Korean Rice Bowl with Meat and Vegetables

Everything in this dish (other than the rice and fried egg) can be made days in advanced and warmed just before assembling the dish. A fried egg with runny yolk on top adds a wonderful addition, especially when broken into the rice. The Bibimbap sauce takes everything to even another level.
