Thanks to Time Out London for this hot tip, but I just discovered an awesome little Korean eatery in SoHo. Bi Bim Bap means: ‘Bibim (mix) bap (rice), which is a royal court dish, embodying a balance of colours and flavours that represents a healthy and balanced meal. It is rice served in a hot stone bowl, along with various vegetables and traditionally with a Korean hot paste called gochujang.’

Nutritious bi bim bap

I went for the ‘nutritous’ bowl – nutty brown rice topped with a wealth of veggies – carrots, spinach, bean shoots, cucumber, chestnuts, dates, and even ginko and ginseng! So yum…and totally nutritous!

The correct way to enjoy bi bim bap is to mix it all together in the hot stone bowl so that all the flavours can infuse. Beware of the hot stone bowl though – they’re not kidding when they say it’s very hot!

If you don’t give it a good stir, some of the rice on the bottom gains a nice crunch from the stone bowl, yummmm!

They even take a polaroid of you for their wall as well as uploading to the facebook page, so cute!
