Occasionally we have Sunday dinners, or at any point of the week when we feel like having a communal dinner. Miju’s Korean and she loves cooking. By default, she makes amazing Korean food. This week she introduced us to Bibimbap, a bowl (or rather, bowls) of mixed vegetables and rice.

The amount of effort put in to make a Bibimbap is really something. One has to slice those carrots, cucumbers, mushrooms and cabbages really thinly. Some ingredients need to be boiled, and some eaten raw… So much work for vegetables. Top those assortment of vegetables on a bed of rice and add a dollop or two of spicy Korean sauce and you’re set. Some enjoy Bibimbap with a fried egg, even ultra fresh raw eggs.

Today because we are all carnivores and need our meat, she thoughtfully pan-fried some lamb kofta to satisfy our meat cravings…. and added the stir-fried sesame noodles just in case four bowls of Bibimbap to share among 10 people weren’t enough. Oh, they were enough. And man, they were delish.
