Bi bim bap

We all love Bi bim bap, a Korean dish that means "mix, mix rice". It's a great dish in early summer and a lovely way to eat lots of different vegetables.  
Vegetables are stir fried or steamed and dressed with sesame oil, garlic and soy and then served on rice with a raw egg yolk and some stir fried meat (marinated with ginger, soy bean paste, spring onions, toasted sesame seeds, soy, rice wine) and dollop of gojuchang, the Korean hot paste. Mix it all up and eat it!


This one we made has carrot, spinach, bok choy, zucchini, garlic scapes, snow peas and chicken. Although it'ss normally made with short grain white rice like that used for sushi, it's even better with short grain brown rice.
