Bolgogi Bibimbap - My version

When we went to the Asian store in Pittsburgh (45 minutes drive from us), I got excited when I saw the jar of the hot pepper paste, the paste that you use in bibimbap. My husband and I have been missing this Korean dish for quite a while now since we left the country so upon seeing it, I feel like I have to buy one so I can make it (although I don't know how).

I did not find the ingredients there, so we went to Walmart and find some similar veggies that I could use like the cole slaw mix, spinach, mushroom, and the herb mix. I did not like the bean sprout that was in there so I thought I could make my own and did not realize that it will take four days to sprout the mung beans lol.

So the first batch of bibimbap that I made has no sprouted beans ( am still waiting for the mung beans to fully sprout till now lol). But it's fun to do it with the kids, you can teach them how to do it. So here's my first attempt of making bibimbap, hubby said his craving was satisfied!

Since the kids, can't eat the spicy bibimbap, I made them some rice with veggies and eggs wrapped up with seaweeds.

always remember
a little bit of this
and a little dash of that
makes a sumptuous lif...

So always Spice up your Life!!

Yay, bibimbap! I love mine very spicy with lots of gochugang paste. I think this really makes the difference. I love making my own bibimbap, too. Hey, pa-share naman ng iba mong Korean recipes next time :D

They look good but I do not have any idea about its taste. Most probably the taste would be sweet and sour like most Japanese and Korean dishes. The dish you made for the kids also look good and yummy. Thanks for the yummy post. God bless you all always.

Mommy Liz said...

Parang di ako naka tikim ng bibimbap sa Korea, bulgogi at samgeobsal ang lagi kong nakakain, ayaw kasi ni rodney ng Korean food. Napaka OA, nakakainis.
