Cooking tips 💡

  • The pungent sliced garlic is a key element that completes the flavor of kkomak bibimbap, so be sure to include it.
  • Instead of green onions, you can use seasonal wild chives or shepherd's purse for a spring-infused bibimbap.
  • Adding too many extra ingredients can overpower the unique taste of cockles, so it's best to stick with the basics.
