ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Bibimbap

Bibimbap is a yummy and colorful Korean dish that makes your tummy very happy! It's a bit like a fancy and super creative rice bowl that has a lot of different ingredients mixed together.

The word "bibimbap" actually means "mixed rice" in Korean, which makes sense since it's made up of a bunch of different things combined with rice.

Now, let's talk about those ingredients! You'll find things like cooked veggies (like carrots, spinach, and sprouts), meat (like beef or chicken), a fried egg, and spicy chili sauce (called gochujang).

When you order bibimbap, you might find that the ingredients are served separately on a big plate, and then you mix them together with the rice and sauce right there at the table. Or sometimes, the ingredients are all layered nicely in one big bowl, kind of like a colorful parfait.

The best part is that you get to stir everything up and mix all the flavors and colors together in one super delicious and healthy meal!
