Albop is a popular rice dish that consists of delicate fish roe (or caviar) along with various vegetables, and steam white rice in a steaming hot ceramic called ddukbaegi or in a stone pot called dolsot. It's a simple, healthy meal which all of its content ingredients are mixed in together much like the popular Korean rice dish bibimbop but it may include other seafood ingredients such as crab meat and/or dried, shredded lavers
Similar to bibimbop, cooked vegetables such as daikon radish (donmoogee), cucumber, carrots, mushrooms, and radish sprouts may be present, depending on the restaurant or one's cooking preference. At home, certain vegetables/garnishes may be added or omitted depending on the availability or taste bud but the finished product will be a delicious, especially with the crispy toasted rice at the bottom of the bowl. |
