Bibimbap from Korean ë¹âë¹âë°¥, literally mixed rice), sometimes romanized as bi bim bap or bi bim bop, is a Korean rice dish. The term bibim means mixing rice (burned rice at the bottom of the dish and cooked rice), while the bap noun refers to rice. Bibimbap is served as a bowl of warm white rice topped with namul (sautéed and seasoned vegetables) or kimchi (traditional fermented vegetables) and gochujang (chili pepper paste), soy sauce, or doenjang (a fermented soybean paste). A raw or fried egg and sliced meat (usually beef) are common additions. The hot dish is stirred together thoroughly just before eating.
