Vegetarian or Vegan Bi Bim Bab aka Bibimbop, Bibimbap, Bi Bim Bob

What we are eating:  Bibimbap

We love this dish.  It's a combo of flavors, and you can improvise and use whatever you have in your fridge.  Anything goes in here!

Google this and the images are beautiful - you can make it w/o the egg to be vegan, and it's normally a gluten-free dish (but maybe not soy-free).  It is easy to modify, and use any meat substitute you like depending on your cravings or dietary restrictions. 

There are lots of easy recipes out there, I was looking at this one and here is another.  We recently made this one.  It's really easy, for the most part.  Choose your base, protein component, vegetables and condiments.  You could have an infinite mixer coming up with combinations.  The flavor comes from condiments and sauces, so if you have a well stocked pantry and a few basic raw ingredients, you are ready to go.

Meat substitutes:

• Tofu (fried/baked/smoked)
• Seitan
• TVP
• Tempeh

Base:

• Brown Rice
• White Rice
• Quinoa

Sauces/toppings:

• Sriracha
• Sauce of ginger, garlic, mirin, soy sauce
• Udo's Aminos
• Gomasaio
• Toasted sesame seeds

Veggies:

• Pickled beets
• Pickled kim chee
• Quick pickled radish, carrots, onions
• Broccoli rabe sauteed oil w/ garlc
• Spinach sauteed in oil w/ garlic

I would love to be able to go out somewhere right now and order up an organic version, complete with a cage-free egg.
