Discovering Bibimbap: A Colorful Bowl of Surprise and Flavor

avatar

Finally, I found the perfect dish for my entry to the Korean Hive Village contest. I had my first taste of Bibimbap!

Although I’ve had plenty of Korean food in the past, this was actually my first time trying Bibimbap. It’s a popular Korean dish here in the city, but I guess I never had the motivation to give it a try until tonight. Maybe it’s because there are so many other Korean dishes that always capture my appetite. With so many delicious options, Bibimbap has always ended up at the bottom of my list. LOL.

Still, I’ve always wanted to try it at some point, and I finally made it happen. I’m so glad I did because I was pleasantly surprised. It’s not only flavorful but also healthy. After this experience, I’m pretty sure I’ll be having it again in the near future.

In this bowl, there was a beautiful arrangement of colorful and tasty ingredients. For me, the best part of the experience was mixing everything together. I thoroughly mixed the ingredients until all the flavors blended perfectly.

Individually, the ingredients tasted great, but once combined, the flavors came together to create an incredibly delicious dish. What really elevated the taste was the Gochujang.

I’m usually not a fan of spicy food, but this had the perfect balance of savory, sweet, and spicy flavors that suited my taste. It paired really well with the seaweed, carrots, cucumber, chicken, and of course, the most important ingredient: rice!

Bibimbap truly exceeded my expectations and gave me a new appreciation for Korean cuisine. I'm glad I finally gave it a try, and I can definitely see myself enjoying it again soon. This experience reminded me that sometimes, the dishes we overlook can turn out to be the most satisfying.

I like trying out new recipes but I know if one popular food here that I don't think I can try, they call it Amala and ewedu a not sure I can try it, tho people say is very tasteful.

Am sure I can't find Bibimbap in my country, but the way you described it, it's very delicious I can only imagine anyway, I wanted to ask if the thing at the top was an egg 🥚?.

Yes, that was a fried egg on top, it's a classic part of Bibimbap! I’ve heard of Amala and ewedu too; maybe I’ll be brave enough to try it someday! 😄 Thanks for your kind words!

Do you have African restaurants in your country where you can try out Amala and ewedu?

I have never tried Korean cuisine before, but I would like to. There are no Korean restaurants where I live now, but there will be in the future because I am moving. The only problem is that people say these dishes are very spicy, and I am not a fan of spicy food.

You’ll love exploring Korean food once you move! Bibimbap can be made mildly spicy... just adjust the gochujang to your taste. 😊

Bibimbap is a surprisingly tasty dish. It looks plain... until you mix the sauces in with all those simple ingredients. It's basically ALWAYS served on my flights back from Korea to Singapore, so plenty of chances for me to eat it. 🤣
