Bibimbab


Bibimbab

Bibimbab is also one of Trevor's favorite foods. Oh, this guy has too many favorite Korean dishes!

Similar to Kal-guk-su, basically you can find tons restaurants which serve Bibimbab.
Let me introduce you to some restaurants in Seoul!

1. Go-gung 
Go-gung's Bibimbab originates from Jeon-Ju where Bibimbab was born in Korea!
Go-gung uses beef-broth to make a rice (sorry vegetarians!).

i. (In-sa-dong, (Ssam Ji Gil), Seoul)
38 Gwanhun-dong Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea
02-736-3211

ii. Myung-dong, Seoul
12-14 Chungmuro 2-ga
Jung-gu, Seoul
02 776-3211

Price: CAD$20-40

2. Na-Mul-Muk-neun-gom (HongDae, Seoul)

Na-Mul-Muk-Neun-gom is such a cute place, it looks like an Italian restaurant.
Price: CAD$10-15

3. Basically, you can trust most places that serve Bibimbab as their main menu.
Price will range from $4 to $20 depending on the ingredients.

This is Bibimbab-Korean dish.
Mix your rice with various vegetables, egg, and meat.
You can use chili-paste (Go-chu-jang) for this, I found that regular sauce (the red one you see above) is too spicy for Trev, so I made a less spicy sauce for him.

Chilly-sauce(Go-chu-jang)

Ingredients
Gochujang 4 tbsp
honey 2 tbsp
(if you don't have honey, use sugar instead - in this case, you cannot keep the sauce in your fridge, it will turn too hard)
Asian pear, grounded 2 tbsp (I did not have this, so I used ground pineapple)
Grounded beef 4 tbsp
water 6 tbsp

How to make?
1. Put some oil in a pan (any vegetable oil, I used olive oil), and cook meat first.
2. When meat is ready drain oil from meat.
3. put gochujang, honey, pear in to the pan and mix well with meat.
4. Put them on the pan again and pour water on it, and boil it until it reduced and little thick.

Now, the sauce for bibimbab is ready. we could make main dish (remember if you can take the spice, you can skip the above and simply use gochujang in your bibimbab.

BiBimBab

Ingredient
(this totally depends on what you have in your fridge on that day)
onion, zucchini, bean-sprout, spinach, carrot, lettuce, mushroom, ground beef.

1. Put your rice on.
2. Slice (shred) vegetables.
3. cook carrots without oil on the pan, low heat. You just want to dry them, not fry them.
4. cook onion with olive oil, cook zucchini, and mushroom as well.
5. steam bean sprout (using salt water), steam spinach as well.
6.cook beef
7.cook egg.

See, it is really simple,
you could easily skip any vegetables, or add any.
sometimes I like to put different kinds of mushrooms rather than using meat.

Anyways, now we are all ready to eat.
Put 1-2 tbsp of sauce on the top, one spoonful of sesame oil, and mix well.

It is delicious and pretty healthy.
