Bibimbap (비빔밥) which translates to "mixed rice" is a Korean dish that consist of white rice, raw egg, sautéed seasoned vegetables, sliced meat, chili pepper paste, and soy sauce or salty bean paste.

Set up 4 bowls. Place 1 cup of rice in each of the bowls. Arrange the vegetables on top, along with 2 slices of bulgogi for each rice bowl. Make sure it looks appealing. Place a fried egg on top of the rice (the egg can also be raw if you like). Add bulgogi with the rice (bulgogi literally means fire meat).

Sushi rice can be used, but is a bit stickier than what is usually used.
