Delicious Korean bibimbap recipe that is super easy to make at home.

What is Bibimbap Made of?

Bibimbap is a mixed vegetable and rice dish, served in a hot stone pot.

Everyone knows how tasty and tongue-tingling Korean cuisine can be. We all love going out for delicious bbq kalbi ribs or a bowl of jap chae and dipping into the myriad of little plates of banchan and kimchi that make up the landscape of the table.

A collection of these side dishes attractively arrange atop a mound of rice sizzling from the heat captured in the stone. We use what the cook might have at home – a cast iron pan, but a Teflon skillet will work as well.

This bibimbap recipe looks long, but is really many recipes in one. You place the tasty toppings on the rice like the spokes of a colorful bicycle wheel, and top it with a sunny-side up egg and a dollop of spicy red pepper paste (gochujang).  Mix it all together just before you eat – but not before everyone admires your culinary art project!

        Is this recipe correct when it says 2 oz beef? I’m quite puzzled when the dish serves 4 people.

        I cannot find any info about the rice in your recipe. What am I missing? What type of rice and how much?
