Bibimbap is a popular Korean Dish . The word literally means "mixed Rice " or "mixed meal." Bibimbap is served as a bowl of warm white rice topped with sauteed and seasoned Vegetable s, Beef , a whole Egg , and Gochujang ( Chile Pepper paste). The ingredients are stirred together thoroughly just before eating. Vegetables commonly used in ''bibimbap'' include julienned cucumber, zucchini, carrot, ''mu'' (white Radish ), mushrooms, ''doraji'' ( Bellflower root), and Laver , as well as spinach, soybean sprouts, and ''gosari'' ( Bracken Fern stems). ''Tubu'' ( Tofu ), either plain or sauteed, or a leaf of Lettuce may be added, or beef may be substituted with chicken or seafood. Many areas of Korea typically serve a Vegetarian version of the dish which may well be the more traditional alternative. A variation of this dish, ''dolsot bibimbap'' (돌솥 비빔밥, "dolsot" meaning "stone pot"), is served in a heated stone bowl, in which a raw egg is cooked against the sides of the bowl. Before the rice is placed in the bowl, the bottom of the bowl is coated with Sesame Oil , making the layer of the rice touching the bowl golden brown and crispy. The city of Jeonju , the capital of the North Jeolla Province of South Korea (located about two and a half hours' drive south of Seoul) is famous throughout the nation for its version of bibimbap, said to be based on a Royal Court Dish . ''Bibimbap'' is first mentioned in written records around 1800, as 부븸밥 (''bubuimbap''). SEE ALSO |
