The best places to get Korean bibimbap in Vancouver
Bibimbap is one of those dishes where the name tells you exactly what you’re going to get.
Translating to “mixed rice with meat and vegetables” – “bibim” means mixing, while “bap” refers to rice – the Korean dish is probably one of the better-known dishes internationally.
There are many different versions and variations of the dish – like dolsot bibimbap and yangpun bibimbap – and it can be made according to dietary restrictions and preference, but generally, it consists of some type of meat, vegetables, and an egg on rice.
