B for bibimbap!

Bibimbap consists of rice, assorted vegetables, beef and topped off with an egg. It's pretty on the eyes.. but not for long! Haha. To serve, you add hot pepper paste/sauce and mix it all up. Mmm. Dolsot bibimbap is better though, as it's served in a cast iron/ceramic bowl and continues to cook as you eat. Too bad I don't have one. :(

Anyway, it's simple to make. Preparation time is longer than cooking time but that's all because presentation matters. Hehe :)
