Bibimbap with egg, lettuce, carrot, sprouts, burdock root, seaweed, daikon
I promised a picture of real bibimbap, as opposed to my earlier homemade version. This one came from the nearby Kimbap Nara (a popular type of restaurant serving a fairly standard menu of Korean food). Bap means rice. (Kimbap is a form of rolled rice sandwich wrapped in nori--could be called Korean sushi, but it is far more pedestrian than sushi--and much cheaper).
Bibimbap is, we are told, a very healthy dish. It is contains a medley of vegetables (some raw, some cooked, some marinated), warm rice and an egg in some form (raw, cooked or in between). Underneath the egg is a large dollop of gochujang (Korean red chili paste).

To eat the bibimbap, you mix all the ingredients together with your chopsticks. It tastes pretty good. I think it makes an eggcellent breakfast.
