Meatless Monday we are having Korean Rice Bowl- Bibimbap 비빔밥

Bibimbap 비빔밥 Korean Vegetables and Rice

Bibimbap 비빔밥 Korean Vegetables and Rice, Bibimbap in Korean is pronounced pibimp͈ap,  a signature Korean dish. The word means "mixed rice". Bibimbap is served as a bowl of warm rice topped with namul (seasoned vegetable side dishes) and gochujang (chili pepper paste). A raw or fried egg and sliced meat or tofu (usually beef) are common additions. The ingredients are stirred together thoroughly just before eating. It can be served either cold or hot. It is a great way to use up leftovers.

For our Bibimbap I have made Mullaengi Namul - Korean Seasoned Watercress and KoreanFermented Cabbage / White Cabbage Yangbaechu kimchi

I served them over a wonderful nutty short grained Californian brown rice (a gift from my sister) and added some pickled ginger and shreds of green onions.

As tonight is “Meatless Monday” I will forgo the beef and egg but feel free to put it in.
