Ahhhh be beem bap, how I love you. When living in Korea, this was the easiest dish to love and after leaving, it is the one I crave the most. My be beem bap is never the same so please keep in mind that you can change up the toppings to suit your tastes or to use up what is in your fridge

You must have gochu jang or Korean red pepper paste in order to make be beem bap. It is spicy and strong and kind of kick ass.
