This is one of our favourite meals. I can proudly say that I can make it better than some restaurants too. 
Yangpun is a kind of salad bowl, and Bibimbap is boiled rice with various vegetables and Gochujang sauce. People usually share the whole bowl (scoop and eat from the bowl),
so some foreigners might not like this idea, however it seems to taste nicer to me simply because we share the joy of the food together.

I usually use Just Gochujang sauce without vinegar, sugar and water.
It tastes good, too! but it can be a little hot.
I don’t care whatever it’s hot. i like hot food so much!
But I think this is better way than mine.
I’ll make Bibimbap in this way once.
By the way, Could you make Bibimbab for me if you make it better than some restaurants? I really really expect that.. I am so free all the time. Just call me! haha! (^O^)*
wow this looks good! i havent had the chance to have this is in a korean restaurant yet. this is different from dolsot bibimbap?
Hi Marian,
Yangpun bibimbap is different to dolsot bibimbap. Basically the container that bibimbap is served in is different. Dolsot is a “stone pot” and Yangpun is a “big bowl” like a salad bowl. Also dolsot bibimbap is slightly cooked once more before it is served (so the rice gets crispier near the bottom of the pot).
Hello and thank your for sharing your wonderful recipes and having such a great aesthetic sense. This website is a small jewel that makes honor with korean food the best way. Thanks again!

Simple ingredients (except the kimchi) and a very distinct taste!
