What bibimbap is
Bibimbap is rice mixed with namul and a sauce. The basic bowls at Insa Dodam are steamed rice and six namul, gochujang or soy, ₩12,000.
The namul are bracken, carrot, bean sprouts, radish, oyster mushroom, pumpkin. No meat in the base bowl. Vegetarians come at lunch. Swap stir-fried kimchi for soft tofu and it is vegan.
Why lunch only
A small kitchen cooks what it prepped that morning. Namul dulls if it sits until night. So bibimbap is 11:00–15:00, last order 14:00. Extra rice on request. Nungae-seungma and crispy beef bulgogi bibimbap are ₩18,000.
