Bibim Bap (mixed rice) is a classic favorite among Ex-pats living in Korea. Although each region offers different local varieties, the basic idea is the same all over Korea. Take a big bowl of hot rice, add some vegetables (usually romaine lettuce, bean sprouts, julianne carrots and zucchini, mushrooms, and kimchi), some gochu jang (red pepper paste), a fried egg (preferably over easy), and mix it all up.
For a change of pace, try chamchi (tuna) bibim bap. If you visit Korea or a Korean restaurant, you absolutely can’t miss dolsot bibim bap - which is the basic bibim bap served in a hot stone (or iron) bowl. The cooks to a crispy brown, and all the flavors of the sauce and the vegetables blend together into a lush warm mixture.
Occasionally, you may find other specialty varieties with: raw salmon, bulgogi (sweet beef), jaeyuk (spicy pork), or even ggot (flowers - yes, actual flowers mixed into the rice).
Bibim Bap - it’s fast, healthy, easy, cheap, and delicious. What more can you ask for?
