Bibimbap or Bibimbop literally translates to mixed rice. It essentially is a variety of mixed vegetables and sliced meat that are sautéed and stir fried, these are then served on a bed of white rice .And all of this is topped with a fried or semi boiled egg and some times evens raw egg ( I won’t suggest that but if you’re brave enough to go there, let me know how it goes!)
The dish is meant to be thoroughly mixed and then devoured.
BiBimBap is seasoned with a sauce made out of a Korean chili paste called Gochujang and soy sauce or doenjang ( a fermented soybean paste).
It is super easy to make , It is similar to making Chinese food ( involves sautéing vegetables quickly and a few steps) .
It is the perfect meal comprising of protein, carbs and fiber.Winner meal idea right here my friends!
