VEGAN KOREAN BIBIMBAP
Ahoy, mateys! I’m back with another f*cking recipe to share with you guys. But before that, I have a question…. have you ever experienced the 4 stages of arousal? Excitement, Plateau, Orgasm and Resolution. I just want to say that if for some reason you haven’t, you are guaranteed to experience it in today’s recipe. Fair warning.
Rice! Who doesn’t like rice? Brown rice, white rice, black rice, wild rice. Rice is like a man. Hard on the outside, but once you dump it into boiling water, it softens into fluffy deliciousness (Kids, don’t try boiling your boyfriends in water at home – I’m a professional man boiler, and I don’t recommend trying it out unless supervised by an adult).
