Making this Bibimbap is as easy as 1-2-3!
It’s perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Bibimbap literally means bibim (mixed) + bap (rice), hence, “mixed rice”.
So that also means you can freely choose your toppings.

Whatever toppings that I would choose, I always opt to have a combination of different colors.

Taste the harmony of different veggie & meat (or flavorful shiitake for vegan version) toppings,
elevate the taste with Gochujang (Korean red chili paste) and sesame oil!
