Brown rice bibimbap bowls recipe
Meaning ‘mixed rice’, Bibimbap is a Korean dish traditionally served in a hot stone bowl that's filled with white rice, which crisps up on the bottom. This veggie-friendly version is topped with sliced vegetables, pickles, chilli sauce and egg, and is as gloriously colourful as it is delicious.
