Amazing Korean salad bowl with raw veggies, egg, nuts and seeds, topped with spicy Gochujang paste – perfect for weekday lunch.
By Shannon Lim
I’m pretty obsessed with Korean food, especially Gochujang paste. I love to use the paste to season meat or fried rice. Bibimbap (Korean rice bowl with gochujang) is on my weekday lunch menu almost every other week, usually with raw veggies. Some days it’s just No-Rice Bibimbap Bowl, which makes it an amazing spicy salad bowl. Mine is usually packed with raw veggies, fried egg and sprinkles of nuts and seeds. Slicing the veggies in different shapes and sizes adds texture to the salad. Use any of your favourite salad ingredients. Top with spicy gochujang sauce. That’s how I rock my salad.

Looks delicious but if there is no rice, it is not bibimbap. “Bap” literally means rice.
