KOREAN POPULAR DISH: BIBIMBAP


KOREAN POPULAR DISH: BIBIMBAP






Bibimbap, the most popular dish in Korea, is appeared in 19th century. What’s bibimbap? It’s a bowl of hot rice served various vegetables that are cooked and raw on the top of hot rice. Vegetables can be seasonal, bellflower roots, gosari, bracken, bean sprouts, and spinach often served. Other ingredients include jujubes, ginseng, a small amount of seafood or meat, and so on.


A raw egg is very important for Bibimbap. Most Korean restaurants served a raw egg on the top of rice. People can stir by a scooper. The hot bowl will sizzle with stirring. Most people would like adding a big scoop of gochujang, a kind of Korean chili pepper paste. Gochujang is so different from other chili pepper saucee, such as Chinese chiliaookspice pepper I mentioned before. Actually, I think gochujiang is not very spicy, but it makes bibimbap more visual. So that’s why many people like to add more sochujiang to make spicier, as well as looks delicious.


Bibimbap has been a part of Korea traditional cuisine culture. There are so many Korean restaurants in Bay Area. Such as Stone Korean Kitchen, which located on four Embarcadero, Street Level, SF. There are various Korean food, especially delicious Bibimbap.
