This Korean comfort is simple and filled with umami: kimchi, bibimbap sauce and beef.

Bibimbap means “mixing rice”. That is exactly how it is traditionally eaten: put your rice in a bowl, add the toppings, and mix it all together so that the flavors and textures combine.

If you haven’t tried kimchi yet, get ready to fall in love with this spicy pickled Korean side dish.
