Does anybody have any good ones? It seems like a prety simple dish, appropriate for the food-preparation-challenged. What's the red sauce?

Other suggestions? I'm a little bored of cereal and ramen.

Bibimbap: Take some rice, chop up whatever veggies you want, maybe a bit of cooked meat and arrange on top of the rice. Put a fried egg on top of that.

The red stuff is gochujang - available everywhere.

Toss some of that in, mix it up. Voila.

you have to be careful of what gochujang you get- once i got the stuff they use for sashimi (lots of vinegar). very disappointing. i get this stuff called bibimjang.

i don't know how to prepare all the vegetables, but SESAME OIL is the secret ingrediant.

i used to make bibimbap when i missed spicy food in england
since i couldn't get all the ingredients such as namul(seasoned vegetables), i used whatever i could find and cook
fried mushrooms, carots, onions, peppers, meat(sometimes tuna)
and fried egg
mix them with fried egg and sesame oil

i like to mix it with laver Laughing

Why would you want to eat that crap?

because he/she thinks its good. Why the hell are you in Korea if you hate it so much?

Have you tried the Bibimbap in Jeonju? I heard its supposed to be the best or something along that line...

how can one hate kalbi? throw in soju, and you got yourself a good evening ahead.

Galbi is probably OK... but after the soju, I can't remember what it tastes like... so it doesn't count. Wink

Most of the recipes for bibimbap seem like stir-fry with rice. Yet, bibimbap tastes much different. Is it that the veggies are aften uncooked, plus the red sauce?

Has anybody made kimchi?

I have this fantasy of making kimchi and serving it to my teacher conversation class (all women...I'm male).

Sometimes i make bibimbap but add a couple of substitutions and it is awesome..

Add some sliced up strips of chicken and a little butter and it tastes incredible...

I got this idea when i went to a Korean fusion restaurant in Kyoto and can't understand why Koreans haven't done it....
