essay on my favorite korian person
Answers
Answer:
My favourite Korean food is bibimbap. I have come to love and crave bibimbap, a mixed rice and vegetable dish, that is an extremely popular dish in Korea. I know I can probably find bibimbap in the United States (my friends tell me that Trader Joe's sells bibimbap now!), but I have a feeling it won't be as good as what I have come to love in Korea.
Why is bibimbap my favorite food? First off, there are several different varieties and ways to prepare it (more on this later). Second, it is a really healthy dish full of a diverse array of vegetables. My friends and I like to think of it as a Korean salad. Typical Korean restaurants do not serve salads, but bibimbap is a perfect substitute. Third, the serving size is generally just perfect and it gives me a great boost of energy after eating it. It is my favorite meal to eat at lunch because it helps me get through my day of teaching English with lots of energy, but yet it never feels too heavy. Last, but not least, bibimbap tastes delicious!!
it can be served in a hot stone bowl (shown below), which changes the taste of the dish. The hot stone bowl toasts the ingredients of the dish so that they are brown and crispy. The bowl is so hot that the ingredients of the dish will continue to pop and sizzle as you chow down.
So, what are the typical ingredients of bibimbap? Well a warm mound of rice is central to any type of bibimbap. Surrounding the rice is usually a thinly sliced meat, the most common being bulgogi, but it really could be any type of meat. Also surrounding the mound of rice are a medley of vegetables. Commons ones include sauteed mung bean sprouts, sauteed mushrooms, pickled cucumber, braised zucchini, and daikon . Placed on top of the vegetables is an egg fried sunny-side up and then the entire dish is drizzled with sesame oil. What ties the whole dish together and gives bibimbap its unique taste is the dollop of kochujang, a spicy red pepper paste.
