''Bibimbap'' (비빔밥, (:bibimbap), sometimes anglicized bi bim bap or bi bim bop) is a signature Korean dish. The word literally means "mixed rice". ''Bibimbap'' is served as a bowl of warm white rice topped with ''namul'' (sautéed and seasoned 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. In South Korea, Jeonju, Jinju, and Tongyeong are especially famous for their versions of bibimbap.〔(Introduction to Bibimbap: From Jeonju to Jinju style ) 〕 In 2011, it was listed at number 40 on the ''World's 50 most delicious foods'' readers' poll compiled by CNN Travel. == History == The name ''bibimbap'' was adopted in the early 20th century. From the Joseon Period (1392–16th century) until the 20th century, ''Bibimbap'' was called ''goldongban,'' which means rice made by mixing various types of food. This dish was traditionally eaten on the eve of the lunar new year as the people at that time felt that they had to get rid of all of the leftover side dishes before the new year. The solution to this problem was to put all of the leftovers in a bowl of rice and to mix them together.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rice with Leftovers (1st Lunar Month) )〕 ''Bibimbap'' is also thought to have been eaten by farmers during farming season as it was the easiest way to make food for a large amount of people. ''Bibimbap,'' known as ''goldongban'' at that time, was served to the king usually as a lunch or an between-meal snack.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Bibimbap Globalization Foundation )〕 ''Bibimbap'' is first mentioned in the ''Siuijeonseo'', an anonymous cookbook from the late 19th century. There its name is given as 부븸밥 (''bubuimbap''). Some scholars assert that bibimbap originates from the traditional practice of mixing all the food offerings made at an ancestral rite (''jesa'') in a bowl before partaking in it, while the consensus on origins of the dish lies with a Japanese influence, brought to the Korean peninsula via trade routes with Japan. Since the late 20th century, ''bibimbap'' has become widespread in different countries, due to its convenience of preparation. It is also served on many airlines connecting to South Korea. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bibimbap」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
