I first tried Bibimbap one night with my friends when we were all looking for late night eats. I've never heard of it before, but it is a really popular traditional Korean rice dish. It usually comes with sautéed meat, fried egg, vegetables and chili paste over rice. I love how the bowl came almost sizzling, which made the rice on the bottom of the clay bowl almost crispy. You also feel like you're playing with your food when you break the egg yolk straight into the rice and mix it around, cooking it a little bit in the hot bowl. Even though the one I had that night had beef, I decided to make a Vegetarian Bibimbap. Sourcing all the ingredients were easy, but it is a lot of individual sides. I made a lot of sides to give you options, but choose the ones you like to make the recipe easier.
