    Excellent and very plainly presented cooking demonstration. I lived in South Korea as an English teacher for nearly two years, and ate bibimbap nearly half of every week. As she stated, it is a perfect and complete lunch: protein, rice and vegetables. The addition of the fried egg and gochujang really bring heat and richness. I especially prefer the dolsot (stone pot) bibimbap mostly for the crispy rich at the bottom. I was pleased to learn about the potential origin stories. Also, it was cool to hear a shout-out to Cheongju, a city that I lived in for one year and have eaten many bowls of delicious bibimbap.

      Oh yay! I'm a former teacher too! Never heard of these origin stories when I lived there either, but I always thought of it as the original "pantry clean-out meal". Even though she made all her veggies and meat toppings fresh, I've heard that in most regular Korean homes its usually made with all the left over banchan sides from the week, and it's just genius in my opinion, like a lot of things I miss about Korea.

    My grandfather, who passed away last year at the age of 98, had a very different story about the origin of bibimbap.
    He claimed that the dish was invented in the city of An-dong, Korea, where many gentile households resided in the old days. Korean nobles used to hold, every month, multiple ceremonies called "Jae-sa," where you have to cook dozens of side dishes as offerings to their ancestors and older relatives who passed away.
    So when some family members brought unexpected guests home for drink and food, the host would serve leftover rice and uneaten side dishes from the ceremonies in a bowl and people found it tasty, so it became a thing in the end.

  • @swicheroo1
    @swicheroo1 Рік тому +13

    Use whatever veg is in your fridge. It's a dish ideally suite to a big fridge clean-out. Mostly, it's about texture. Because there is a dominant gochujang sauce that masks any other subtle aromas.

      It's ok but you will miss the meat/egg aspect of bibimbap if you're use to that style. Eating at a buddhist temple is like a nice to try once but the flavors are more toned down no explosion of taste or umami.

    • @kakuella
      @kakuella Рік тому +2

      It's a very clean taste bibimbap with full of seasonal earthy flavour vegetables. Buddhist temple foods are all vegan so everything is going to be little earthy and clean taste. They taste extremely healthy and you really get to experience what nature offers you on each season. Little tip is some Buddhist temples make better meals than others so if you have a time, do little research before you go, and those popular temples get extremely busy during lunch hours so you might want to get there as early as possible. Well at least that was the case 10+yrs ago so if nothing has changed, it should be still same lol otherwise there are place or events where you get to experience Buddhist monk's table so you can definitely try that if you want to avoid climbing mountain and first come first serve lunch rush. Oh and lastly food waste is prohibited at Buddhist temple so please be careful with amount of food you get and make sure to finish everything you receive even if the food is not your cup of tea.

    What a fun, excellent demonstration of the history, culture and etiquette surrounding what is really a very simple but hearty dish. I really got a new appreciation for bibimbap. Bibimbap was a favourite of the church lunch. The women making it would each bring a different ingredient and then make it together in the church kitchen. I didn't attend church that often but the few times I ate a church made lunch -- it was the best Korean food I had ever eaten... beat any Korean restaurant.

Make the whole bowl red as hell!!
