Signature Korean Dish: Bibimbap

Bibimbap is a signature korean dish. The word literally means “mixed rice”. It is traditionally served with a bowl of white rice topped with sautéed vegetables, raw or fried egg, sliced meat, and kimchi. The dish is stirred together just before eating. I first tried this dish at a local korea restaurant named Soy Teriyaki Bistro, in Brentwood TN. I was skeptical at first, but it was love at first bite
