"This is a dinner that's super popular—bibimbap," says Rach. "It's a really fun thing to say and, basically, it's a bowl dinner. Everybody loves these bowls of grains or rice, lots of veggies, high in protein, not too rich and you're full—but not too full—after dinner." Bibimbap is a Korean rice version ("bibim" means mixed and "bap" means cooked rice). Don't be put off by the number of ingredients. It's very straightforward and once the prep is done, it comes together very quickly. The combination of textures, flavors and temperatures is amazing! You can also sub out whatever you like/have on hand and even leave out the meat for a vegetarian version.
