I actually shared a bibimbap recipe about three years ago… but let’s be real, that video was over 15 minutes long. Ain’t nobody got time for that! 😂
The recipe itself is amazing though—it truly deserves more love, and you deserve to know how to make the best bibimbap in the world.

So I made a new and improved version—shorter, better, and by popular request:
Dolsot Bibimbap is here!

Dolsot Bibimbap and regular bibimbap are basically the same, except for the way they’re served.
Regular bibimbap is served in a shallow bowl, while dolsot bibimbap comes in a hot stone pot—dolsot literally means “stone pot” in Korean.

So feel free to make this recipe and serve it in a regular bowl—it doesn’t change the flavor one bit, and it’s still just as delicious! 😊
