Description
Bibimbap, which means "mixed rice," is a vibrant and iconic Korean dish. It features a bowl of warm rice topped with an array of seasoned vegetables, a savory protein (often beef bulgogi), and a signature dollop of spicy gochujang. The dish is crowned with a fried egg and mixed together just before eating, creating a wonderful harmony of flavors and textures. It's a complete, balanced, and incredibly satisfying meal.
A Taste of History
The origins of bibimbap are traced back to the Joseon Dynasty, where it was known as "goldongban." One theory is that it originated from the practice of mixing leftover side dishes (banchan) with rice on the eve of the Lunar New Year. It also has roots in rural traditions, where farmers would mix their rice, vegetables, and sauce in a single bowl for a convenient and communal meal in the fields.
