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

Check my Asian-Inspired Recipes

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.

I am fully aware that this is not really traditional pizza, but I like calling it Chicken and Kimchi Pizza, so the name stays.

This is easy, tasty, and savory… Oh, this pizza is so gorgeous, my friends! Is it possible to ask for more? I don’t think so!

You can complete this in under 30 minutes without using any dough. Although you can buy store-bought or prepare your own dough.

I made advantage of tortillas. YES! That’s how easy it is.

The hardest thing was making chicken in a skillet, which is all I did. Everything else is similar to adding, cooking, and baking until deliciously golden.

You can use cooked chicken from the store, including rotisserie chicken.

As for toppings, well, I love mushrooms, and sweet peppers in a combination of chicken, kimchi, and cheese, as well as slightly spicy gochujang mixed with thousand island dressing or condiment. You can use pizza sauce, however, I tried it with thousand islands and it was instant love.

With that being said, you can really use whatever you prefer, like, or have around. I even like adding softly fired egg. It tastes super tasty on this pizza.

• 1/2 tbsp. gochujang Korean red chili paste
• 2 tablespoons thousand island dressing origin

Topping options:

• 1/4 cup Kimchi chopped

• Scallions, chopped
• Red Hot chili flakes

Instructions

1. Cut chicken breast into thinner chicken strips, season with a bit of salt and peppers (a few pinches) OR Chicken Seasoning, and cook over a lightly greased pan for 5-7 minutes, or until done. You can use store-bought cooked grilled chicken, or grill it yourself. whatever works for you!

2. Preheat the oven to 375F. You can also make this in your air fryer.

Notes

When I say a fried egg, I meant you can serve a soft fried egg on top of this pizza.

Also, Yes to Mayo on pizza. If you never tried mayo on pizza then you're missing. My husband introduced me to it and I never looked back. It is not so unusual for Koreans to eat pizza with Mayo as well.

What is Thousand Island Dressing?

Thousand Island dressing is an American salad dressing and condiment based on mayonnaise that COULD include olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, vinegar, cream, chili sauce, tomato purée, ketchup or Tabasco sauce. SOURCE: WIKI

I would be a fool to say that I do not like bread. Bread of any kind is my favorite thing ever, but sweet, delicious, warm, filled with red sweet bean paste…mmm! You feel me now? Well, you simply cannot say you do not like it because this bread is absolute, positively amazing.

This type of sweet bread is popular across Asia; from Japan (an-pan), Korea (danpat-bbang), China, Philippines etc. and of course, every country have their favorite way of making a similar type of bread.

However even here in the USA, you can find Asian baked goodies in almost any International or Asian Market, some are imported from another state, and some are made right there in the bakery if they have it.

Also, I must add that Sweet bun, bread, and pastry of similar kind are widely popular all over the world, of course, probably mostly filled with some sort of jam.

Now, I got to mention that I do not use anything for kneading except my hands. You got to feel the dough, work with it to get the right moment to stop and let it rise.

Magical, I know!!! With that being said, you are more than welcome to save time and your hands just by using an attachment for kneading. 

Also filling is optional, you might like sweet cheese better, sweet potato, green tea paste, Nutella or jam. I just happen to love, love sweet bean paste. I could eat it with the spoon like an ice-cream! Who else is guilty? I know you are out there.

We are bread eating family so my family loves it, and of course, two full pans of sweet bread were gone before you know it! Try it and I am sure you will love it too.

I separated the step by step instructions so you can see how I am making this bread. Little cuts or slips are completely optional, too. You can make it pressed and round without cutting, roll it into little a log, or make it like a dinner roll.

1. In the large mixing bowl add flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar; Mix all together and set aside. 
2. In the separated cup add yeast, with 1/2 cup of warm milk or water and a pinch of sugar, let the yeast get activated first. 
3. In the flour mixture add lightly mixed egg and activated yeast from step 2. Slightly mix, then start adding rest of the liquid (milk and water) mix and add butter (melted or room temp.). ADD liquid little bit at the time so you don’t end up with pancake mixture. (about 1 1/2 cup of liquid on 2.2 cups of flour -adjust liquid/milk to the amount of flour)
4. Mix the dough very well with the wooden spoon. Once combined, transfer it to a lightly dusted working surface. Add more flour if needed. 
5. Knead the dough for good 25-30 minutes. Place it back in the clean oiled mixing bowl, turn it few times so the dough could get glossy from oil. Cover and let it rest.

1. Once the dough doubled in size, knead for a minute or so, then separated into 9 or more equal portions (make balls). Set aside!
2. Take the Sweet Red Beans out of the can and set aside. *You can make your own too! 
3. Take each ball and roll out into thinner (1/2 inch thick) pancake about 4-5 inches wide disks. 
4. Take the rolled disk into your hand and in the middle place about a tablespoon or so of sweet red bean paste. 
5. Close all ends and make a ball, but make sure it is closed. With your whole hand press down on the filled dough ball into *approximately 1 to one and a half (1-1/2) inches thick disk. 
6. You can leave it as it is, but you can make slips with your knife, scissors or pizza cutter. You can also roll into a log or any other shape.

1. Brush with melted butter or mixed eggs.
2. Sprinkle with any topping that you desire as mentioned in the ingredient list.
3. Place each sweetbread onto parchment paper lined the pan, or lightly oiled.
4. Let the sweet bread rise for 15 more minutes before placing it into the preheated oven on 375 degrees Fahrenheit.  
5. Bake until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes or more, if needed. 
6. Allow to cool down for at least 15 minutes before eating.
