Please check our KAARI's first cooking videos!   We invited the Chief Chef Andrew Park of 'Bapsang' restaurant to help create the videos of making popular Korean dishes, 'Japchae' and 'Bibimbop."   These cooking shows were hosted and directed by our KAARI Culture Committee members Angela Sharkey and Sangwook Ji.

Bibimbop - Rice mixed with vegetables and variety of toppings

'Bibim' means 'mixed' and 'bop' means 'boiled rice,' so 'Bibimbap' literally means 'mixed boiled rice.'  It would be best if you mixed everything before eating.

Jap' means 'variety' and 'chae' means 'vegetables,' so 'Jabchae' literally means 'variety of vegetables.'
