Now THAT is a cooking lesson/recipe/video/experience, thank you Ms. Kim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Truth.
you could not have picked a better person for this video. well done. what a joy to watch
Excellent and very plainly presented cooking demonstration. I lived in South Korea as an English teacher for nearly two years, and ate bibimbap nearly half of every week. As she stated, it is a perfect and complete lunch: protein, rice and vegetables. The addition of the fried egg and gochujang really bring heat and richness. I especially prefer the dolsot (stone pot) bibimbap mostly for the crispy rich at the bottom. I was pleased to learn about the potential origin stories. Also, it was cool to hear a shout-out to Cheongju, a city that I lived in for one year and have eaten many bowls of delicious bibimbap.
Oh yay! I'm a former teacher too! Never heard of these origin stories when I lived there either, but I always thought of it as the original "pantry clean-out meal". Even though she made all her veggies and meat toppings fresh, I've heard that in most regular Korean homes its usually made with all the left over banchan sides from the week, and it's just genius in my opinion, like a lot of things I miss about Korea.
My grandfather, who passed away last year at the age of 98, had a very different story about the origin of bibimbap.
He claimed that the dish was invented in the city of An-dong, Korea, where many gentile households resided in the old days. Korean nobles used to hold, every month, multiple ceremonies called "Jae-sa," where you have to cook dozens of side dishes as offerings to their ancestors and older relatives who passed away.
So when some family members brought unexpected guests home for drink and food, the host would serve leftover rice and uneaten side dishes from the ceremonies in a bowl and people found it tasty, so it became a thing in the end.
Was stationed in Korea for a year. Korean food is one of my top 3 favorite cultural foods overall.
What’s your second and first favorite cultural foods?
I’ll take things that never happened for $500
@Chrome666 do you want a cookie????
I used to do inspections on cargo ships, and they usually invite us to lunch. The Korean ships always had the best food. You usually get a bunch of little bowls of a dozen different things.

I *LOVED* learning all about the history, origins, and meanings of this dish and the culture behind it! Please come on again soon, Miss Kim! You are a delightful teacher!
There’s something about the rice mixing with the veggies and the egg and the kimchi that makes my mouth water every time! Im a very low income college student but I every time I make it I just feel so happy and like it’s a such pretty dish!
i love this lady and am so glad to see another video of hers!
also i could listen to her talk about korean food and its history forever. wish she had a podcast!
She’s very adorable and she seems kind and genuine
There's another thing to add to my bucket list. "Try some real Buddhist Bibimbap".
It's ok but you will miss the meat/egg aspect of bibimbap if you're use to that style. Eating at a buddhist temple is like a nice to try once but the flavors are more toned down no explosion of taste or umami.
It's a very clean taste bibimbap with full of seasonal earthy flavour vegetables. Buddhist temple foods are all vegan so everything is going to be little earthy and clean taste. They taste extremely healthy and you really get to experience what nature offers you on each season. Little tip is some Buddhist temples make better meals than others so if you have a time, do little research before you go, and those popular temples get extremely busy during lunch hours so you might want to get there as early as possible. Well at least that was the case 10+yrs ago so if nothing has changed, it should be still same lol otherwise there are place or events where you get to experience Buddhist monk's table so you can definitely try that if you want to avoid climbing mountain and first come first serve lunch rush. Oh and lastly food waste is prohibited at Buddhist temple so please be careful with amount of food you get and make sure to finish everything you receive even if the food is not your cup of tea.
also they dont use garlic or onion if i remember correctly. i recommend the chefs table episode about a korean buddhist monk.
One of my absolute favorite dishes, especially with kimchi.
Use whatever veg is in your fridge. It's a dish ideally suite to a big fridge clean-out. Mostly, it's about texture. Because there is a dominant gochujang sauce that masks any other subtle aromas.
Absolutely LOVED this deep dive!!! Never wanted to try this dish before but NOW… I’m in love with the complex nature and beautiful history!!! Very well done 🥰
Thank you, thank you and thank you ❤️❤️❤️
What a joy of a story presented by a lovely host! I feel like I’m experiencing something more than just food or even culture, like the essence of what it means to be human itself 😊
Love the storyline as you prepare everything.
The asking with 'rice and meal' is the same with our language aswell Thai and Laos, that's so awesome 👍😂 I wonder how many other countries say the same lol
in chinese too
I know this greeting in thai so came to ask if this was same in any other countries.
✌🇬🇧
Bengalis too!
I love this series idea, why we eat different foods, their history, their use within that culture, love that so much it sheds so much light on humanity
Chef Kim this was an amazing video. Not only a recipe but also a history lesson. Simplified. You would be an excellent teacher.
I loved the history lesson here and I'd pay money to see more
Best cooking video I've ever seen! I loved every second of it!
What a fun, excellent demonstration of the history, culture and etiquette surrounding what is really a very simple but hearty dish. I really got a new appreciation for bibimbap. Bibimbap was a favourite of the church lunch. The women making it would each bring a different ingredient and then make it together in the church kitchen. I didn't attend church that often but the few times I ate a church made lunch -- it was the best Korean food I had ever eaten... beat any Korean restaurant.
Have you heard of the Save Soil movement before? Since you love food, I think you'd be interested #SaveSoil #ConsciousPlanet
지혜? 지해? 님 유튜브 알고리즘에 의해 영상을 접하게 된 한국인입니다. 평소 외국인들에게 한식을 소개하는 다른 여러 매체들에 대한 반감을 많이 가지고 있었는데 이 영상이 한식을 소개하는 가장 훌륭한 역할을 수행하는 것 같습니다.
I learned so much from this! Thank you! Im really looking forward to making this
omg she is the kindest lady i have ever seen please more features
Makes me miss Korea. Bibimbap was always my go-to lunch on a cold rainy day when out and about or in the field and could get to adji-ma’s tent.
Faaaaaaaaabulous storytelling and beautiful dish! Thank you
Loved this video…. I enjoyed watching you, loving your food and culture…. ❤❤
Thank you so much for this history lesson and wonderful cooking experience. This video is the reason why i cook. knowing the history and love of a dish. Have you eaten is one of my favorite quotes showing love and the importance of food in our histories.
I LOVE this!
hello, I love your story telling. Thank you. As a Bibimbop fan, this dish will now be much more appreciated knowing so much about it now. 😁❤
I love her! Yes share your faith!
Bibimbap are one of my most favorite comfort foods!
I made a video on my attempt on making bibimbap and was surprised by how much work it takes. haha. So much love and dedication shown through this dish!
You convinced me, I am gonna make some Bibimbap ASAP.
Love this dish
Thank you for this!! I LOVED the story about the Bear and the God!!
The subtitles called Bibimbap 'Painting Bob' and I can't unhear it ever since
This might be one of my favorite video's in years of CZcams
I love this lady does her restaurant deliver overseas????
Lovely cute informative.....pure GOLD ❤❤❤
That looks unbelievable delicious. I’ve had the more simple American style and still love it.
Buddhist bibimbap sounds amazing! Does bibimbap predate dishes like gyudon, cơm ran/tầm , etc? Fascinating and love how passionate you are about this dish
Excellent thank you so much my dear friend 😊 jocina 😺
One of my top 5 dishes. So glad I live where I do and found this dish years ago. Try to eat this dish + 3X a month
That looks delicious, gonna have to make some Bibimbap!
Wow, thank you.
Omg as a vegetarian bibimbap saved my life! Most of the time it doesn't come with a meat so it was a perfect meal for me
I luv bibimbap! It’s soooo good
beautiful!
One of my favorite Korean dishes. I just had it for lunch today....so apparently I eat like a king. Lol. 😀
I watch it often in Korea I want to learn other countries' cultural rules
Great video. One thing I wanna mention is it makes me sad when I see foreigners put so little gochujang in it, cause I get it if you dislike spice but honestly gochujang is not that spicy, it's not a hot sauce, it's actually quite sweet, and also it's often one of the only seasonings for a large bowl of rice, you need lots of it!!! Make the whole bowl red as hell!!
Ji Hye Kim 💙
It is delicious
Yum
❤
great vid
Looks tasty
Beautiful
Looks good I need a bowl😂😂
Finally, a genuine and compelling personality that’s not trying to be Matty.
this is the one dish that i've never met a person who dislikes it. (besides this dish, id say another great one for everyone is okonomiyaki even my deceased grandfather loved okonomiyaki, and he was the definition of a picky american diet, he didnt like seasonings beyond salt and pepper, but he'd always go back for more okonomiyaki.) but when it comes to bibimbap, i've even see my teenage boy cousins go back for more of the veggies and that is impressive in my family XD.
Nice
Next year I go to Korea
Do not watch while you're hungry 😂
The religious aspect of this dish reminds me of my Irish ancestors whom were prosecuted and outcast for converting to protestant and were called "soupers* because as apposed to catholic church where the poor were fed left overs like bread from the left overs of the church hirarchy protestant services offered hearty soup with their bread.
yall gotta try kimchi fried rice or kimchi jjigae

"The vegetables need to be in season"
I'm watching in Canada in January.

One of my favorite... But I am Korean...
In all parts of Asia, rice is considered sacred and life-giving source of energy.
Ummm. Now that looks like a *healthy* food.
Lucky for any Asian women out there, I have a rice cooker. ;)
Is adding sugar an American or Korean thing? Don't remember eating a bibimbap with sugar in it.
American
Sugar is used to balance the flavor. You can use fruit like Asian pear or rice syrup as noted for the marinade. Sugar balances acidity so that the acids in sauces are not overpowering.
What I heard and what we do in our house is we use sugar and soy sauce or fish sauce to avoid using msg since that is the most common umami source in East/SE Asian dishes. Nowadays I just dump spices and soy sauce(Kikkoman or any Japanese soy are best) to my food and marinade when needed just to avoid using instant spice mix with msg when I cook lol.
do you also know how sushi rice is made? by adding a lot of sugar lol
My bimbimbap would be a side of beef, side of chicken, side of pork, side of shrimp, side of salmon and sprinkled with caramelized onions.
Bibimbap is really about having the crunch of the veggies and different textures though too. It’s not just a meat and rice bowl. That’s more Japanese style.
You might not have gotten black, but you did get five colors, if you count the brown of the meat.
🤤✌👍
I’ve eaten bibimbap many times, but no one ever told me it was supposed to be mixed. I just ate everything with rice individually. Don’t know if I’m mad at myself or other people for not telling me. 🤦🏾♂️
"I just ate everything with rice individually" Fam You're still eating it correctly. You just have the added advantage of eating every portion in equal bits compared to the potential mixing chaos of accidentally pushing all the meat to one side of the plate and wondering the entire time where the meat went🤣
No sorry but you ARE supposed to mix it, and mix it well so you get a spoonful of everything in one bite.
Well now you know. Hopefully you get to taste how awesome it is when it is mixed.
비빔밥은 그릇안에서 재료들과 양념이 골고루 섞여야 제맛.
Why not
Hey siri Where to eat bibimbap in Sydney
How nice to see her cook without having to hear profanity or a political rant. Loved learning the history behind this fantastic meal.
We love rice,we are Asian 🍚
she's so charming and knowledgeable about Korean food. the Japanese have called Koreans :garlic eaters: as a pergoratve slur for centuries.
What a weird and negative little addition you added for absolutely no apparent reason at all…
@@Viqtir you be called garlic eaters as a derogitory while you're being invaded. get back to me then.
@@Viqtir you have no idea about history, do you. being called "garlic eaters" allowed the japanese government to enflame anti korean sentiment while they invaded korea. it's akin to calling blacks in america slaves and sub human. read a book or two you dolt.
@@michaelbeck3766 that’s a huge reach, and makes your rebuttal more disrespectful to other groups than anything, not to mention the occupation of Korea will never match the several hundred years of slavery within the US. But I digress, my comment refers to the irrelevance of a stereotypical remark made towards Koreans when the video is simply educational cooking, your addition was strange and frankly unnecessary Michael Beck and as a Korean I find it weird that you’d bring a negative aspect towards something that had nothing to do with this. Goodbye.
@@michaelbeck3766 What a disgusting display of Ignorance and false equivalence on your part, please, if you don’t belong to a certain group don’t ever speak on it, because the pain and consequences of said history is not yours.
Damn. I could have gotten married when I was six. 😐
did i look stupid at the restaurant struggling to eat it w chopsticks
Absolutely not. I was told that Korean nobles used to mix bibimbap with chopsticks too because using a spoon crushes the steamed rice grains and they hated it. I'm a Korean and I use chopsticks to mix bibimbap too. I get raised eyebrows sometimes, but most times people don't even notice or just do a tiny shrug and carry on with whatever they were doing/talking about.
@@darcyspencer4279 well okay so i saw that you’re supposed to mix it with chopsticks and then eat with a spoon but i ignored the spoon and struggled with the chopsticks the whole time. hopefully i just looked daring. thank you for your response hehe
It’s only official if it’s served with the hot pot / bowl.
It would take me 2 days to prepare this wonderful dish, might be easier just to marry you, cheers
Ji Hye-Kim (Explaining Korea’s Origin story): 9:43
So… All Pure Koreans are Demi-Gods and Demi-Goddess’s? That’s pretty cool :)
Historians nowadays say that it's most likely that there were a bear tribe and a tiger tribe who vied for power in ancient times. The bear tribe won and forced the kings to marry their daughters.
I think some of my friends marrried the ran away tiger.
Looks gd😂
eggs a bit runny for me like it a touch bit more done apart from that looks perfect:)
ngl the "origin" stories literally sound made up for such a dish
I’m early!
it seems rly close to Bo bun
I didn’t like that she doesn’t wash the rice 😮
