More Korea - Bibimbap & Bulgogi

These were two lunch time staples in Korea and we generally ate at least one of these each day.
Bibimbap kinda varied, but the general theme was rice mixed with mushrooms, greens, onion, bean sprouts, seaweed and spicy hot sauce. In the mountains, you could order "mountain veggie bibimbap" but as far as I could tell it was pretty similar to the city!
I especially liked the dolsot bibimbap where it was served in a very hot stone pot and a raw egg was added. You immediately stir and the egg cooks in the pot. Ian is eating that type in the second picture.

Bulgogi came either pre-prepped to your table as a sweeter beef stir fry kind of dish (first pic, lots of mushrooms on top) or as a stew with beef and other assorted tasty veggies in broth (second pic).
