Bavarian Bibimbap

Ingredients

While the original Bibimbap is traditionally made with Korean ingredients like gochujang and kimchi, our Bavarian adaptation incorporates local Bavarian flavors. We substitute the traditional Korean vegetables with Bavarian vegetables like sauerkraut and pickled cucumbers. Additionally, we replace the Korean chili paste with a tangy Bavarian mustard sauce to add a distinct flavor profile. We alse have the original recipe for Bibimbap, so you can check it out.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Beef — For a tender and flavorful result, marinate the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
• Bavarian mustard sauce — Adjust the amount of mustard sauce according to your preference for spiciness. Add more for a bolder flavor or less for a milder taste.
• Pickled cucumbers — If you can't find Bavarian pickled cucumbers, you can substitute them with regular pickles or gherkins.
