Korean
mixed rice bowl / mixed meal.

Koreans love bibimbap, and this simple rice dish is often used as a tasty way of
using up leftovers.
A generous helping of steamed rice is placed in serving bowls, topped with a
variety of meat and vegetables and topped with a strong fermented soybean paste
called gochujang.
Just prior to eating, you mix everything together —
bibimbap means roughly “mixed up rice” or ” mixes meal”,  and the whole,
wonderful mess is eaten with gusto. Gochujang paste can be found online
and in Korean and other Asian markets.
Season with soy sauce  if you can’t find gochujang.

 

Ingredients:

  • Steamed sticky rice
  • Prepared meat, beef,seafood or poultry
  • Seasoned vegetables
  • Eggs, cooked sunny-side up
  • Gochujang paste (optional)

Condiments:

Kimchi
Sesame oil
Tangy chili sauce

Bon Appettit !   Life is Good !
