Bibimbap is a traditional Korean dish that means mixed rice. Its rise in popularity might be its simplicity and flavourful kick in every mouthful. What could be easier, or more fun, than tossing vegetables, protein and rice in a bowl, crowning with an egg.

Healthy talk
In Korea, Bibimbap is served as a bowl of warm white rice. Try brown rice to boost the nutrition profile of this no-fuss dish. Brown rice is a whole grain. Whole grains have more protein, fibre, calcium, magnesium, vitamin E, potassium, and phytochemicals (healthy compounds found in plants) than refined grains like white rice.
