Bibimbap (Nasi campur Korea)

I’m so delighted to share this recipe because bukan selalu nak buat other than malay food. I am a big fan of Korean food! Hands up in the air if you are too!

Bibimbap literally means mixed rice. Basically you put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix it prior to eating. Dia macam nasi goreng tapi tanpa goreng. This dish is best served in hot stone pot, which is called Dolsot. But.. but…. don’t go away just yet because you still can savor this dish without that authentic bowl. One of the reasons they use hot stone pot is to keep the meals hot longer and of course you'll get to indulge the crispy rice at the bottom of the pot. It may look simple but, you can't believe how good this is. It's like an explosion of flavors in your mouth. 

I bought most of the ingredients from an Asian Market around here. Now let’s get to the cooking part.
