What Vegetable bibimbap is
Rice with seasoned vegetables, egg and chilli paste.
Vegetable bibimbap is listed as a dish in the South Korea guide, where the index tags it mild, vegetarian and rice-based. That is the useful shorthand, but it is not the whole story: the same name can cover a breakfast version, a street version and a restaurant version with different garnishes and prices.
