Dolsot bibimbap with squid
|
The first time ever for me to try bibimbap was during my visit to Korea last September. I ate bibimbaps five times during my four-day stay! Bibimbap is a Korean dish that literally means "mixed rice". It is warm white rice topped with namul (sauteed vegetable) and gochujang (chili pepper paste). A raw or fried egg and slivers of meat are common additions. The ingredients are stirred together thoroughly just before eating.

Vegetables used in bibimbap include cucumber, zucchini, mu (daikon), mushrooms, doraji (bellflower root), gim, spinach, soybean sprouts, and gosari (black fern stems). Dubu (tofu) and lettuce may be added. Chicken or seafood may be substitited for beef.
A variation of this dish, dolsot bibimbap, is served in a very hot stone bowl in which a raw egg is cooked against the sides of the bowl.

| The unglamorous looking bibimbap served in an aluminum bowl was the cheapest but yummiest we have tried! |
