Korean Dish - Bibimbap

My daughter took us to Korea for holidays, it was a wonderful trip and my family enjoyed the Korean foods and the places of interest every moment of it. A trip to Korea also led us all fell in love with this popular Korean dish - called BIBIMBAP. It's a colorful dish. You must try it to believe what i mean by delicious. Don't miss it! ^P^

Bibimbap - is a traditional Korean dish with mixed meals, which is served as a bowl of warm white rice topped with vegetables, bean sprouts, mushrooms, chilli pepper, sliced beef/chicken of your preference and topped with fried egg.

I have it tried out homemade, not too bad, no though not that authentic, but at least look alike and taste good. All you need is a few simple steps to get it done.
