Bibimbap is a beloved Korean dish made by mixing rice with meat and vegetables, often topping surveys of Korea’s signature foods.
There are many regional variations of bibimbap that reflect locally available ingredients, with versions from the southern cities of Jeonju and Jinju being particularly famous.
Bibimbap is simple to prepare -- just mix cooked white rice with whatever vegetables are available, a fried egg, some sesame oil, and a dollop of red pepper paste for that signature spice.
Known as comfort food for many Koreans, it’s not uncommon to see protagonists in Korean dramas enjoying bibimbap at home after a tough day, seeking comfort and stress relief.
Had a stressful day? Empty out your fridge and whip up some bibimbap — it’s the perfect pick-me-up!
