K-POP. Cuca Restaurant unveils K-POP, a creative, plant-based reinterpretation of the Korean bibimbap. Inspired by a culinary journey through Seoul, this dish draws from the essence of Korea’s traditional bibimbap but takes a lighter, vegan approach. The dish features puffed rice, minced tofu, and a Korean chili jam, offering a balance of flavors and textures that reflect both Korean traditions and Cuca’s innovative touch.
Rather than the typical meat-heavy version, Cuca’s K-POP uses seasoned tofu to replicate the taste of ground beef, combined with a mix of fresh and pickled vegetables. The crispy rice at the base adds a delightful texture, reminiscent of the stone pot rice in Korean cuisine. Finished with a gochujang sauce in the center, the dish encourages diners to mix everything together, creating a unique harmony of flavors. This new addition showcases Cuca’s commitment to bringing fresh, exciting ideas to their menu while honoring the essence of global culinary traditions.
