Bibimbap

Bibimbap is a traditional Korean dish that combines brown rice, sauteed spinach, a small amount of beef and an assortment of seasoned vegetables. It also is usually topped with a raw egg! I have lightened the traditional recipe and opted for a cooked scrambled egg! I also used some leftover pork tenderloin for this recipe. The dish is served in a bowl, topped with a spicy red sauce.
