Salmon Bibimbap — Korean Rice Bowl

 

Salmon Bibimbap — Korean Rice Bowl 
Every now and then, I find myself making rice bowls just like this Salmon Bibimbap — Korean Rice Bowl. They are truly convenient, and they do get me through my busy schedule.
 
It is important to say that they are also effortless, versatile, and delightful. If the kids are in school, I normally take a break in the afternoon from photo shoots, writing, and editing and I eat my lunch in peace. From time to time, my husband joins me for lunch.

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

I have been using my favorite Salmon Pouch by Chicken of the Sea this time and combined it with leftover rice.
 
Seriously, this one was the quickest meal without losing an amazing taste. The combo just screams comfort as well as health, Don’t you agree with me?
 
Many of you that follow me for some time, know that I am a huge fan of Korean cuisine, so it’s not a brainer that I made bibimbap, to share with you today.
 
It’s one of those dishes that you can add whatever you have or crave at the moment, or perhaps you might use what

Bibimbap

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.
