Today's Menu: Bibim Bap (Korean Mixed Rice)

Yes! I cooked myself a meal today!! haha.. Its the first time I'm cooking a real meal! I mean, I've cooked pasta, made sushi.. those are not tt much a hassle.. This is REAL cooking okays! haha.. So I made Bibim Bap, like it says frm my title.. its Korean mixed rice.. where u have meat(beef, pork or chicken), different kinds of vegetables, egg, of cos rice lah.. haha.. Then all the ingredients are placed nicely in the bowl on top of the rice, then u add chilli paste and mix everything together.. In Korea, there's 2 ways of eating.. Erm.. more for different season rather.. During winter, they use a stone bowl (smth like claypot), heat it up and put everything in.. So when they serve the rice u still can hear the sizzling sound coming.. Then during summer, they just serve the rice in a normal metal bowl.. Made sense? When the weather is cold, u eat hot, vice versa... haha.. But I prefer the stone bowl cos u get those slightly burnt rice at the end and it jus tastes sooo good! heh~ So lets see what we've got...

First was going to buy the stuff that I need. Oh well, just some vegetables and meat. haha.

Next, preparing the ingredients! haha.. well, I sliced the meat and marinated it.. Then was all the vege.. washing, cutting, picking the roots of the tau gey.. haha..

Then went on to fry all those things.. I've never fried vegetables before in my whole life!! haha.. I think I have talent.. Only watched my mom cook a few times and never really had hands on.. But my picky taste bud says it tasted quite well! hee~ After frying was assembling of the ingredients..

Well, of cos this can't be compared to those restaurant made ones.. But looks ok eh? haha.. then went on to mix everything together!

Okays.. Doesn't look as good as the previous pic.. but it was really nice!! haha.. Cos I used Korean chilli bean paste to mix it so it really got the 'Korean taste'.. haha.. First time cooking: passed!

Oh ya.. bought some of my favourite too.. STRAWBERRIES!!!! ok.. this is just coincidental that the strawberries are from Korea.. Its the mini version and I tot it was really cute so i bought it! Not to mention, its sweet too! :)
