A Bulgogi bowl is a kind of bibimbap (Pronounced bee-buhm-baap) which literally means “mixed stuff on rice.” They were invented hundreds of years ago by Korean farmers who wanted a quick, practical, week-night dinner. We love this one bowl dinner for the exact same reasons.
What We Love About Bulgogi Bowls
- Healthy: you’ve got your protein, veg, and healthy starch all in one bowl.
- Customizable: Bulgogi bowls are extensively customizable. Every region has its own variety with different seasonings and ingredients. For instance, “namul” ie. aromatic grasses and leaves, are often used instead of the leafy greens this recipe calls for. You can experiment with your own “namul” of watercress, basil, arugula, alfalfa, or mung bean sprouts! The traditional way to have them also calls for white rice with the kimchi on the side. I love them with kimchi fried rice or regular fried rice, but that’s your call!
- Minimal clean up!
