No idea about the backstory, but that sounds awesome! Post-apocalyptic art gallery vibe with killer bibimbap? I'm officially jealous. I'd love to see some pics if you have any!

Probably gochujang. Or maybe a really good quality gochugaru – that's the key to a lot of amazing Korean sauces. Maybe some fish sauce for umami?

Maybe a touch of something else to round it out, but nothing too crazy. I'm gonna experiment with different ratios this weekend. Wish me luck!
