Ahh, bibimbop. I hate it. But it's pretty popular here, and I have a photo of it so here we are.
According to wikipedia, bibimbop means, "mixed meal." And as you can see, it's got a bunch of stuff in it. This bibimbop was served in a warm bowl. On the bottom of the bowl is rice. And then their is a ton of stuff jammed in there. You've got some huge mushrooms, carrots, and all kinds of greens. Lots of roots and stuff like that. And on the top you've got some beef, and topped off by a raw egg with sesame seeds. Also, a key component to bibimbop is red chili paste. I can't stand the red chili paste. Thankfully most times you can add your own paste to your bibimbop, so I can make it more palatable.
I think it's the stuff of dreams. I also love red chili paste, especially the garlic red chili paste. I bought some at the store so I can add it to food at home.
ReplyDeleteThere was a place in Lansing that you could get bibimbop at and I thought it was absolutely the cats pajamas. I think the best think is the scalding hot bowl, and breaking the yolk and having the bowl cook it. >_< OMG I LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteI would starve over there...
