Ingredients

• Bibimbap
• Bimimbap is a very popular Korean dish that is usually eaten in a shallow bowl of rice. You can add sautéed spinach, bean sprouts, carrots, mushrooms, and a fried egg along with the meat. Traditionally, you top the bowl off with a fried egg with sesame oil sparingly poured over the top and toasted sesame seeds. The marinade is the same used for grilled meat – Bulgogi. The beef marinated in the soda really makes the meat tender.
