Gwangju-style bibimbap is a popular variation of the traditional Korean dish, bibimbap, originating from Gwangju, a city known for its rich culinary heritage. This dish features a colorful mix of rice topped with an assortment of fresh vegetables, marinated meat, and a fried egg. The ingredients are often arranged beautifully, making it visually appealing. What sets Gwangju-style bibimbap apart is its use of local ingredients and unique sauces, such as gochujang (red chili paste) and sesame oil. The dish is typically served in a hot stone bowl, which helps to create a crispy layer of rice at the bottom, enhancing the overall texture and flavor.
