Since being diagnosed as coeliac, rice has been my gluten free best friend! Thankfully, I was always much more of a rice girl in pre-coeliac days anyway so using rice in a large percentage of my meals feels normal to me.
Bibimbap, a Korean rice dish which literally means ‘mixed meal’ was one of my favourites when I lived in Seoul and is the inspiration for many mixed meals that I make these days. Simple, gluten free and as colourful as possible is the way to go. If kimchi is involved, even better!
