What Kind of Rice is Used in Bibimbap?

The base of Bibimbap is rice. It is made up usually of a mixture of sweet white rice (찹쌀) and medium grain white rice (백미). My preferred ratio is a mix of 3 parts medium grain white rice (백미) to 1 part sweet white rice (찹쌀). 

Although white rice as the base for Bibimbap is most common, there are other options as well. You can make a mix of white medium grain rice and barley or a mix of white medium grain rice and brown rice. Plain textured and flavored rice mixes go well as the base of Bibimbap.
