Bibimbap (/ˈbiːbɪmbæp/ ⓘ BEE-bim-bap; Korean: 비빔밥; lit. ''mixed rice''), sometimes romanised as bi bim bap or bi bim bop, is a Korean rice dish. It is served as a bowl of warm white rice topped with namul (sautéed or blanched seasoned vegetables) and gochujang (chili pepper paste). Egg and sliced meat (usually beef) are common additions, stirred together thoroughly just before eating. The term bibim means "mixing" and bap is cooked rice.
South Korean cities such as Jeonju, Jinju, and Tongyeong are known for their versions of bibimbap. In 2017, the dish was voted the 40th-most delicious food in a Facebook poll by CNN Travel.
