    Because I am still learning about Korean cuisine, I might not order bibimbap in a restaurant. But it is satisfying, hence its attraction. For years I have cooked variations on rice and vegetables, not knowing this specific tradition, and now try to keep suitable banchan type preparations around to make it as my midday (breakfast) meal. I love the dolsot and the quality it imparts to the rice. Your choice of this name for your site is endearing. I would love to know more about the heritage of contemporary Korean cooking.

    It’s delicious, but not my first choice at a restaurant. Although, maybe if I could learn to put it together at home I’d do it.
