Bibimbap, literally mixed rice, is an iconic Korean dish with white rice topped with various ingredients (vege, egg, meat etc.) and chili paste. Dolsot bibimbap is the version where the bibimbap is served in a hot stone bowl.
Had this last week at a famous restaurant in Myeong-dong, the Jeonju Jungang Hoekwan (전주 중앙 회관, lit. Jeonju Central Clan House) which specialised in this dish. The meal cost 9000 won (~US$8), great stuff…
As usual we’ll have to mix all the toppings with the rice, thoroughly, so that we can taste all ingredients in every single bite. And the advantage of dolsot bibimbap is that the dish would still be warm till the end, perfect for winter…
