This was my first attempt making the Korean dish bibimbop which is basically a dish that consists of rice with a topping of meat and/or veg. Following a couple of different veg recipes and improvising on one of my toppings, tonight’s dinner was pretty darn good for a novice attempt. I have made kimchee before but this was my first hot Korean meal made at home. The dish is served in a hot clay bowl with the rice at the bottom. On top of this, I placed warm soy sauce and sesame oil prepared bean sprout salad, next to it is steamed baby bok choi tossed in a tamari ginger garlic sauce and finally, the third element is fried tofu with sweet potato cooked in sweet ginger garlic and vegetarian fish sauce mix. This is something I will be trying again but maybe with different toppings. And yes, we did have the Korean red pepper paste to go along with it.
It was so yummy! I can’t wait to hear what my coworkers will say when I heat up my leftovers at lunch… ^_^
