Korea’s bibimbap is a perfect breakfast bowl—it’s easy to prepare and can be tweaked in so many ways. The combination of the spicy bacon, crunchy vegetables, and runny egg is just perfect! It really is a complete meal in a bowl. Add a cup of coffee or tea to go with it, some extra gochujang and kimchi on the side, a good movie on TV, and you’re set.
