Yukhoe bibimbap Haha, mix in the egg yolk and sauce ~ the yukhoe came as one big chunk, so there was more than I expected..!! It also had lots of vegetables, totally my style, and the sauce wasn't too intense, so it was great for really tasting the raw beef. ![Yukhoe bibimbap mixed with sauce and egg yolk](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-korean-lunch-date/hyangtaek-jeonpo-korean-lunch-date-18-1yt9p-900.webp) Haha, it feels like health food but didn't skimp on flavor — a really satisfying meal that I enjoyed a lot. ![Eggplant miso rice bowl topped with three pieces of eggplant](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-korean-lunch-date/hyangtaek-jeonpo-korean-lunch-date-19-11dbu-900.webp) ## Eggplant doenjang rice bowl, 13,000 won: don't skip the kelp vinegar Eggplant miso rice bowl Three long pieces of perfectly cooked, super moist eggplant sit on top, and you mix it all together with the miso sauce and chives! I tried a bite too, and this miso sauce is seriously delicious. The eggplant also didn't have that mushy texture people usually dislike, so it was fine!! ![Eggplant miso rice bowl mixed with miso sauce and chives](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyangtaek-jeonpo-korean-lunch-date/hyangtaek-jeonpo-korean-lunch-date-20-a5i4x-900.webp) Adding the kelp vinegar that comes with it gives it a tangy kick, and it really boosts the savory flavor — it was delicious haha.
