Description
A Korean Bibimbap Salad Bowl is a healthy, deconstructed version of the classic Korean Bibimbap dish. Unlike the traditional hot, rice-based version of Bibimbap, this recipe uses a base of greens and rice (or quinoa) along with an array of fresh vegetables, a perfectly soft-boiled egg, and a spicy-sweet gochujang dressing.
