VEGETARIAN BIBIMBAP
(SERVES 3 TO 4)
You need some vegetables. I will use carrots, zucchini, leeks and cucumber, but you can use whatever you like or have at hand (mushrooms, sprouts, spinach etc.). You can add some meat too if you like.

One egg per portion.
Shredded Nori (if you don’t get it already shredded, take sushi nori sheets, roast them over open fire and shred them yourself )
