Bibimbap is one of the most iconic Korean dish, next to the Kimchi. It’s commonly served in households and also restaurants. It literally means mixed rice, or mixed bowl. Traditionally, this is a dish the Korean housewives would make with various delectable leftovers in the fridge.
Mixed vegetables and beef, sitting atop steaming-hot rice, held together by a half-raw egg. The beauty of this Korean dish lies at least partially in the diner's DIY mixing of the ingredients.
Bibimbap is best when served in a heated stone bowl, and eaten with metal chopsticks.
