    South Korean Bibimbap is arguably one of their most popular dishes.  Bibimbap literally means" mixed rice".  It is often served in a large stone bowl called a "dolsot" that keeps the rice sizzling and whole dish warm.  It is pronounced Bib-im-bapSouth Korean Bibimbap

    I decided to make this dish for lunch after our South Korean feast. I had most of the ingredients as left over banchan.  I just reheated them and added it to the rice. Add in a special sauce, some seasoned seaweed and a sunny side up egg and just like that you have a delicious meal.  There are numerous ingredients that can be used in bibimbap.  Aside from the banchan I made for the meal, fernbrake or gosari as it called in Korean or Platycodon root called doraji are also popular in the dish.  Any greens can also be added as well.

    The point is you can use pretty much any vegetable left overs you have in your fridge.  Also meat is often served in the dish as well, beef, chicken and even fish would be delicious.  I made this one vegetarian.  You should try it and you will never forget the sizzle it makes when it is ready to serve.  Delicious.  If you would like to get an authentic South Korean Bibimbap bowl, you get pick one or two up here.
