KOREAN Cuisine~~Bibimbap

Jeonju Bibimbap Dolsot Bibimbap

I love korean dishes very much. I went Korean restaurant especially for Bibimbap, which is a very popular Korean dish. Bap is a Korean word for rice and bi bim means to stir or mix together. Bibimbap literally means "mixed rice."

In Korea, they serve Bibimbap as a great winter dish. It's easy to make and not as spicy as most Korean food. It has slightly sweet taste which is very mouth-watering to me.

Bibimbap has many variety. Most common is Dolsot Bibimbap and Jeonju Bibimbap. Dolsot Bibimbap serves in a sizzling-hot stone bowl, while Jeunjo Bibimbap serves in a metal bowl. The dolsot makes the rice crispy and chewy.

Bibimbap consists of steam rice, topped with assorted fresh vegetables and then marinated along with a small amount of meat. Fainally, it is topped with a half baked egg added into the bowl. A paste called 'gochujang' is mixed together while stirring all ingredients together thoroughly before eating.

If you have never tried bibimbap, you’ve been missing out one of the tastiest dishes in Korean cuisine. Although it is a quite simple dish, but in reality the combination of ingredients used to make this dish turn out to be something surprising, wonderful and remarkably healthy.

And it’ll all taste good– that much I can promise you.
