Bibimbap is a Korean rice bowl topped with individually prepared vegetables and served with a gochujang based sauce.
Bibim means mixing, and bap means rice. What I love about this dish is that you can add any vegetables or meat based on preference. This is a vegetarian version.
This is the perfect dish to make if you have some side dishes ( banchan) in the fridge. Just get some hot rice and mix everything together! Adjust the amount of vegetables based on preference. I cooked entire bag of sprouts to have leftovers but you can cook half the bag.
Once you saute the vegetables, assemble over rice, add optional fried egg and drizzle with sauce for the perfect one bowl meal!
