So, what is it Bibimbap? Is it a specific recipe with the same ingredients or rather a something more general, like curry or ramen, or pho? It looks delicious by the way!
Bibimbap is a rice bowl with warm toppings that are mixed right before eating (pic is pre-mixed) and typically a soft fried egg and some Gochujang (Korean chili paste) to make it saucy. Not a strict recipe, you can use whatever you have in the fridge.
For this version, I used different types of vegetables (carrots, radish, zucchini, cabbage, bell pepper, leek) that I cut into cute little shapes, before stir-frying them separately with different seasonings (soy sauce, mirin, vinegar, sesame oil, chili flakes, and Gochujang in different combinations).
Damn I though the bottom of the rice had to be crispy. Master Chef lied to us. Unbelievable.
In restaurants, it’s often served this way (in a hot stone bowl), but it’s not necessary. We also have a really good Bibimbap place near us that also doesn’t use stone, and it’s still absolutely delicious.
Thanks for the perspective. It looks delicious.
