Bibimbap

Bibimbap, which translates to "mixed rice," is a beloved and iconic Korean dish. It’s a beautiful and nourishing bowl of warm white rice topped with an artful arrangement of seasoned vegetables, savory cooked meat (or tofu), and a dollop of spicy gochujang (chili pepper paste). The whole dish is crowned with a sunny-side-up egg. The real magic happens at the table, when you mix everything together before your first bite, allowing all the individual flavors and textures to meld into a harmonious and delicious whole. While it involves several components, each one is simple to prepare. It’s a fantastic way to use up leftover vegetables and can be easily adapted to be vegetarian or with different proteins.
