This post is about my first experience with Korean Bibimbap, not the soup above; However, the soup and the bibimbap are related.
Last week, my husband and I drove into NYC to visit my son and his girlfriend (now his wife). We dined at restaurant called," THE SMITH MIDTOWN " at 956 SECOND AVENUE NYC ( a must try).
The food was exceptional and gluten free friendly.
I ordered the roasted tomato soup with melted cheddar cheese and a fabulous Greek salad with a wonderful creamy lemony dressing ( one of the best I ever had).
On our long walk to the restaurant, my son told me about a vegetarian gluten free entree he had tried at the restaurant once before called, Bibimbap.. I was intrigued with the name to say the least, but I thought he was making it up just to be funny.
It turned out my son wasn't joking. Bibimbap is a Korean dish that is quite popular in that American restaurant.
My husband, my son and his girlfriend all really enjoyed their choices as well; their choices were not gluten free ( the menu ) OK .... I'm getting to the Bibimbap.

In fact, shortly after we were seated, a generous order of bibimbap whizzed by us on its way to a nearby table .
The bibimbap was a layered salad made with sushi rice, shiitake mushroom, spinach, pickled carrot, edamame, bean sprouts, a sunny up egg right in the middle. I is served with a wonderful Korean sauce.

According to Wikipedia :
Bibimbap (Korean pronunciation: [bibimbap][1]) is a signature Korean dish. The word literally means "mixed meal" or "mixed rice". Bibimbap is served as a bowl of warm white rice topped with namul (sautéed and seasoned vegetables) and gochujang (chili pepper paste). A raw or fried egg may be added. The ingredients are stirred together thoroughly just before eating.[2] It can be served either cold or hot.
When I went online, I found out there are many variations of Bibimbap. Sometimes it is layered, sometimes it is arranged by item in a spring form type pan, sometimes it is just mixed together. Some versions are a little more Americanized and contain shredded carrots, zucchini, and more typical American fare. I looked for some on Pinterest, there were tons of recipes. I guess a lot of people are familiar Bibimbap.
Use Real Butter. is a blog. She has a wonderful pictorial tutorial of how to make bibimbap step by step.. If you want to make it, check out her blog because the post was entertaining and the photos and tutorials wonderful. ( for me of course, I would leave out the beef)
