Bibimbap – Healthy, Pretty, and Delicious
Feeling under the weather, so I had this a little earlier than usual. Stir fried onion, soft boiled egg, chilli sausage, soy eggplant, garlic runner beans, carrot kimpira and pickled radish.. And when it’s bowled up – wWhat a beautiful sight; it’s mostly veg so it’s probably healthier than yesterday’s lunch. Bibimbap never fails to […]

Because of excess sausages and beans for Sunday breakfast, it was a simple matter of cooking the tomatoes to bring out their extra sweetness. Lunch is stove-top grilled tomatoes, shredded bacon, sliced Italian sausage and runner beans […]
