I’ve been building up to this video by remaking videos for the ingredients, too. So I’m happy to remake the video now in HD with much better editing and instruction. This version is a little different than the version in my cookbook, because I make a quick and simple soup with the bean sprouts. When I started my YouTube channel, bibimbap was one of the first recipes I made, because it’s such an essential dish in Korean cuisine. I’m going to share some more bibimbap recipes on my website in the future, and you’ll see how many different variations there are. But if you’re really in a rush you can make a great bibimbap with the soybean sprouts, spinach, and carrot (or red bell pepper, or both), and gochujang, toasted sesame oil, and an egg- those items are unskippable! This recipe isn’t quick and easy, it takes some time to make. The different ingredients aren’t random, they’re chosen because they balance, harmonize, and offset each other. “Dolsot” means “stone pot” in Korean, and this version is well-known for the way the bowl makes a layer of crispy, crackling rice on the bottom of the bibimbap.Įven though we mix up bibimbap before we eat it, each ingredient needs to be prepared with care and individuality, bringing out their unique flavors, textures and colors so they come together beautifully in the bowl and deliciously in your mouth. I’m also going to show you bibimbap prepared and served in a heated stone or earthenware bowl called dolsot-bibimbap (돌솥비빔밥). If you ordered bibimbap in a Korean restaurant, you would probably get something like this dish, with regional variations. There are many variations on this dish, from simple to elaborate, and this recipe I’m showing you today is for one you could consider “classic” bibimbap. Today’s recipe is bibimbap, a super-popular Korean dish you might have heard about already! It’s made of a bowl of rice, sautéed and seasoned vegetables (namul: 나물), a bit of hot pepper paste ( gochujang: 고추장), and usually a bit of seasoned raw beef, too ( yukhoe: 육회).īibim (비빔) translates as “mixed,” and bap (밥) means “cooked rice,” so bibimbap literally means “mixed rice.” Before eating it you’re supposed to mix everything all together.
