Review This Recipe

As I sat down in a quaint restaurant to indulge in a dish which I have heard rave reviews about, I was eagerly awaiting my meal which was comprised of the popular entrée known as dolsot bibimbap. Many have applauded this Korean dish and it is only now that I am finally having a chance to taste it. I do know that bibimbap is a specific type of dish with dolsot being a variety of the usual bibimbap entrée. A dolsot is a type of bowl in which the bibimbap is cooked. In the past, the dolsot was primarily made of stone but it is often available in the metal variety today.

When my dish arrived, a fragrant aroma which was a mixture of sesame, garlic and steak greeted me. The rice, which is a main part of the dish, was perfectly cooked, mainly due to the dolsot which it was cooked in. Also included with this entrée is a wonderful combination of vegetables such as kimchi, carrots, spinach, mushroom, and bean sprouts. The soy sauce flavor was evident but not overpowering. The dolsot helped to keep not only the rice crispy and well textured but the accompanying vegetables as well. The eggs which were included within the dish gave it the best possible finishing touch by making it a well-rounded and flavorful dish.

Perhaps it is the individual ingredients themselves which make this dish so delicious or maybe it is the combination of the total sum of ingredients which really brings the dolsot bibimbap together. With this delectable entrée, it is unnecessary to have any concomitant items alongside of the dish although it may be desirable to start with a soup such as seaweed soup. All in all, the dolsot bibimbap was the perfect meal to have and everything that I thought it was going to be. The next time I try dolsot bibimbap I may opt to replace the steak with salmon for something a little bit different. However, the steak is so flavorful in this dish that it may be hard to pass up.
