What makes bibimbap so good is the combination of spicy, savory and slightly sweet flavors with a variety of textures that come from the different vegetables. Bibimbap - What it means Bibimbap was traditionally also called Gol-dong-ban 골동반 in Hanja which means to mix until you get dizzy..haha.. But simply, bibim literally means 'to mix' and bap means 'rice'. So it means 'mixed rice' when you just look at the words but what it refers to are bowls of rice that are first served, topped with various vegetables and some kind of seasoned meat or seafood. Then you add some bibim sauce which is usually gochujang based and mix it all together. Bibimbap Variations Every bibimbap has an array of vegetables and meat topping but they have different names depending on either what the protein is or what region it comes from: Sogogi Bibimbap 소고기 비빔밥 (Beef)  - beef slices or ground beef is seasoned and cooked, also called bulgogi bibimbap if bulgogi meat is used Yukhoe Bibimbap 육회 비빔밥 (beef tartar) - Korean style raw beef tartar seasoned lightly Haemul Bibimbap 해물 비빔밥 (Seafood) - some combination of seafood, usually squid, shrimp or oysters Sanche Bibimbap 산채 비빔밥 (Mountain vegetables) - different mountain greens (san namul) are added as vegetables Jeonju Bibimbap 전주 비빔밥 - this bibimbap comes from the region of Jeonju which is known for delicious food. This version always has Kongnamul (soybean sprouts), Yukhoe (beef tartar) and raw egg yolk on top. The rice is also cooked in beef broth which makes it unique. JinJu Bibimbap 진주비빔밥 - coming from the city of Jinju, this one is also topped with Yukhoe but there is no egg yolk and the vegetables are steamed not sauteed in oil.
