Ingredients
In this adaptation, we have replaced some of the traditional Korean ingredients with Canarian counterparts to create a dish that reflects the flavors of the Canary Islands. The original Ogokbap typically uses short-grain rice, but we have incorporated Canarian rice varieties, such as Bomba or Arroz Negro, to add a local touch. Additionally, we have infused the dish with Canarian spices, such as pimentón (smoked paprika) and cilantro, to enhance the Canarian flavor profile. We alse have the original recipe for Ogokbap, so you can check it out.
