Recipe: A Big-ass Bowl o’ Bibimbap

And I really do mean "big"!!!! To give you an idea of scale, the above-pictured bowl is 9" in diameter! (Holy Bibimbap, Batman!) And no, just in case you’re curious, I didn’t eat it all myself. I couldn’t find a smaller bowl that’d hold all of the different types of namul, so went for aesthetic effect (i.e., to get a good photograph for the blog/cookbook) instead of practicality. Lots of leftovers if any friends & family would like to join me for today’s lunch & dinner, and perhaps the next day’s lunch & dinner too.

Starting at 12 o’clock & going in a clockwise direction, here are the different namul: Marinated cucumbers, fern brake, scallion slivers, marinated beef, mung bean sprouts (soy beans), strips of dried nori, saut?ed zucchini, saut?ed carrots, saut?ed spinach, & saut?ed shiitake mushrooms. In the center: Sunny side-up egg and bibim chili sauce (made with gochujang, a hot & spicy Korean red chili pepper paste). And underneath it all, is sticky white rice (i.e., the same glutinous rice that’s often used for sushi & also for various Asian desserts).

Recipe: TBA. (Still recovering from the cooking & clean-up. )
