Chef T. is going to be upset with me…

This week in my Asian cooking class we learned how to make the Korean dish Bimbimbap.

We obviously made it in the traditional style with carrots, cabbage, marinated beef, homemade kimchi etc…

This is my take on a vegetarian Bibimbap with brown rice, kale and zucchini sautéed in sesame oil, and avocado of course.

Chef T. might think that I butchered the lovely Korean dish but dare I say I like this as much, if not better?

Hopefully she doesn’t read my blog.
