Recipe Notes
Bibimbap is a combination of ingredients prepared separately, and served together over rice. Keep prepared ingredients warm in the oven until ready to serve. Place a dish of water in the oven to keep the ingredients from drying out while you keep them warm. Ingredients in bold were the only ones not in the box.
