Finding authentic vegan versions of Korean food in Korea is next to impossible as most dishes will contain milk or fish. (fish sauce, fish paste, or other seafood is found in most traditional dishes including the most popular Korean dish – Kimchi).
I’ve been attempting my own versions of Korean-inspired food with local ingredients. Although they were delicious, they were not authentic, it was time to get some help from a local expert to help with my quest for an authentic Vegan Bibimbap. I’m going to share with you this super simple and delicious recipe for Vegan Bibimbap.Â
Bibimbap recipe is a popular Korean dish of rice mixed with cooked vegetables and is typically packed with texture and flavour. It is super easy to make, healthy, delicious, and perfect for anyone who loves Asian food like me.
