Baekhwaban: The Elegant White Bibimbap

Just as bibimbap was once called “Hwaban” because it resembled a beautiful flower, Baekhwaban is the white version of this beloved Korean dish. Crafted with care, this delightful creation features a medley of thinly sliced and trimmed ingredients, including deodeok (bellflower root), radish, king oyster mushrooms, and bean sprouts, all seasoned with a touch of salt.

The result is a visually stunning and texturally captivating dish. The chewy and soft textures of the mushrooms and deodeok create a luxurious mouthfeel, while the vibrant colors and shapes of the ingredients evoke a sense of elegance. Just like its traditional counterpart, Baekhwaban is best enjoyed when mixed with soy sauce, allowing the flavors to meld harmoniously.

To complete the experience, a refreshing clear radish soup is the perfect accompaniment, complementing the richness of the Baekhwaban with its light and cleansing properties.
