Sometimes, I make extra for my daughter, who happens to love Bibimbap, in particular with Sweet and Spicy Salmon.

Bibimbap (비빔밥) means literally mixed rice if you translate. Bibimbap is served as a bowl of warm white rice topped with namul (sautéed and seasoned vegetables) and gochujang (chili pepper paste), soy sauce, or doenjang, a fermented soybean paste. A raw or fried egg and sliced meat (usually beef) are common additions.

When I say a raw egg, I mean that the rice is served in a hot stone pot (dolsot bibimbap) with piping hot rice, and when you add an egg and mix it, it cooks almost instantly. The hot dish is stirred together thoroughly just before eating.

You have so many different versions that are similar to each other, and it is made depending on the season, as well as the place where you live.

A further variation of bibimbap uses a variety of seafood, mostly raw, such as tilapia, salmon, tuna, or sometimes octopus.

However, each bowl of rice usually contains only one variety of seafood or meat.

The dish is also very popular on the coasts of Korea, where fish are abundant.
