We're back! Korea!

It has been a busy fall and we have not done as many Around the World dinners as we would have liked. A couple of weeks ago, in honor of our parent/child Spanish class, we did a review of Spain. And last night, we did a Korean dinner.

M's interruption

We had bibimbap, which is rice with veggies, tofu and egg. I especially liked the rice and egg.

Back to Anne. Thanks, M, for describing the menu. The veggies were steamed carrots (tossed with a little rice vinegar), stir-fried spinach, boiled bean sprouts tossed with a little seasame oil, and stir-fried zucchini. All the veggies and tofu and a fried egg are arranged on top of a bowl of rice. Steve and I added kimchi and red chili paste to our bowls. Bibimbap is much like a Korean version of the Japanese chirashi sushi (which I think we described in an earlier post). A big hit -- and has enough leftovers to make a second dinner!

I prepared the meal without specific recipes, but here's a link I used for some guidance:

Enjoy!
