Crab-meat bibimbap

게살비빔밥

What exactly is it?

Picked crab meat is mixed with rice, avoiding the work of extracting it from shells. Preparations can use seasoned raw crab or cooked meat, so the name alone does not establish whether the seafood is cooked.

Main ingredients

Rice, picked crab meat, chili or soy seasoning, vegetables, seaweed

Ordering and serving

Ask whether the crab is raw or cooked. Add separate seasoning gradually, and watch for small shell fragments even in a picked-meat dish.

Origins and changes

It turns the crab-and-rice combination into a convenient bowl. KTO’s documented blue-crab version seasons raw picked meat with chili and mixes it with rice and vegetables such as bean sprouts.

Bibimbap

비빔밥

Main ingredients
Rice, seasoned vegetables, egg, gochujang
Flavor and character
A one-bowl meal of rice, seasoned vegetables and toppings, mixed with gochujang. Start with a little gochujang and add more after tasting: its heat and saltiness vary. The vegetables, meat and egg change by household, season and region.
How to eat it
Mix in gochujang gradually and eat with a spoon. A vegetable-heavy bowl may still contain meat, egg or animal stock; a vegetarian order needs more than removing the visible beef.
