Etymologies

The earliest names for bibimbap appear in Korean hanja texts. Its first name was Script error: No such module "lang". (Script error: No such module "Lang".). This name appeared in the Yeokjogumun (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "Lang".) portion of the book Historical Notes of Gijae (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "Lang".), which was written by Bak Dongnyang (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "Lang".) around 1590.[5][6][7] In the Diary of Cheongdae by another Joseon scholar Gwon Sang-il (1679–1760), it was recorded as goldong-ban (Script error: No such module "Lang".).[8] The dish was also recorded in Complete Works of Seongho by Yi Ik (1681–1764) as goldong (Script error: No such module "Lang".),[6] in Complete Works of Cheongjanggwan by Yi Deok-mu (1741–1793) as goldong-ban (Script error: No such module "Lang".), and in Works of Nakhasaeng by Yi Hak-gyu (1770–1835) as both goldong-ban (Script error: No such module "Lang".) and goldong (Script error: No such module "Lang".).[8]

The hangul transcription Script error: No such module "lang".

History

The origin of bibimbap is unknown. Some scholars assert that bibimbap originates from the traditional practice of mixing all the food offerings made at a jesa (ancestral rite) in a bowl before partaking of it.[9] People could have started mixing bap (rice) with banchan (side dishes) after the outdoor jesa (rites), such as sansinje (rite for mountain gods) or dongsinje (rite for village gods), where they needed to "eat with the god" but did not have as many cooking pots and items of crockery on hand as they would normally have at home.[10]

There are two separate ancient writings that suggest the original reasoning behind the creation and use of bibimbap. The first one, "People's Unofficial Story of Jeonju" (Script error: No such module "Lang".), describes Jeonju bibimbap, an old-fashioned dish,[10] as being used on occasions such as parties that included government officials of provincial offices. The second text, "Lannokgi" (Script error: No such module "Lang".), described bibimbap being made by the wives of farmers, who had no time to prepare meals the traditional way with many side dishes. They instead combined the ingredients in one bowl, sometimes adding whatever they happened to be cultivating.[11] Although bibimbap was originally rarely mentioned and mostly only in hanja records, it began to be more frequently referenced and in Hangul (Korean alphabets) records as well upon the creation of Hangul by the King Sejong the Great to improve the state's literacy.[11]

Bibimbap was served to the king, usually as a lunch or a between-meal snack.[12] There was more than vegetables in this bibimbap.[13]

Ordinary people ate bibimbap on the eve of the lunar new year. The people at that time felt that they had to get rid of all the leftover side dishes before the new year. The solution to this problem was to put all the leftovers in a bowl of rice and mix them together.[14] Farmers ate bibimbap during farming season as it was the easiest way to make food for a large number of people.[15] Bibimbap came from early rural Koreans taking leftover vegetables, sometimes having meat, with rice and mixing them in a bowl. This was cheap and did not require all of the time and space of a traditional meal.[11]

The Collected Works of Oju written by Yi Gyu-gyeong (1788–1856), recorded numerous varieties of bibimbap including such ingredients as hoe, shad, prawn, salted shrimp, shrimp roe, gejang, wild chive, fresh cucumber, gim flakes, gochujang, soybean sprout, and various vegetables. It was also stated here that bibimbap was a local specialty of Pyongyang, along with naengmyeon and gamhongno.[6][8]

The first known recipe for bibimbap is found in the Siuijeonseo, an anonymous cookbook from the late 19th century.[16][17][18]

The division of Korea in the 20th century caused a cultural divide in the creation of bibimbap, with two types related to both North and South Korea. The most famous regions for traditional bibimbap happen to be Pyongyang for its vegetable bibimbap in the North and Jeonju for its Jeonju bibimbap.[11]

The late 20th century brought about the globalisation of Korean culture, traditions, and food to many areas of the world, with many restaurant chains being opened up in various international airports that encourage the sale of bibimbap.[19] Bibimbap started to become widespread in many countries in the West due to its simplicity, cheap cost, and delicious taste. Many airlines connecting to South Korea via Seoul and Busan began to serve it, and it was accepted more globally as a popular Korean dish.[20] Bibimbap has also been described as a symbol of the Korean culture to non-Koreans due to Korea becoming more accessible to foreigners and multicultural traditions.[19]

Preparation

A selection of ingredients for making bibimbap

Bibimbap uses various ingredients. Common vegetables include julienned oi (cucumber), aehobak (courgette/zucchini), mu (radish), mushrooms, doraji (bellflower root), gim, spinach, soybean sprouts, and gosari (bracken fern stems). Dubu (tofu), either plain or sautéed, or a leaf of lettuce may be added, or chicken or seafood may be substituted for beef.[3] For visual appeal, the vegetables are often placed so adjacent colors complement each other. In the South Korean version, sesame oil, red pepper paste (gochujang), and sesame seeds are added.[20]

Jeonju

Jeonju bibimbap along with kongnamul-gukbap (bean sprout and rice soup) are signature dishes of Jeonju.[21] Jeonju bibimbap is usually topped with soy bean sprouts, hwangpo-muk, gochujang, jeopjang, and seasoned raw beef and served with kongnamul-gukbap. The rice of Jeonju bibimbap is specially prepared by being cooked in beef shank broth for flavor and finished with sesame oil for flavor and nutrients.[21] Jeonju also holds a Jeonju Bibimbap Festival every year.[22]

Hot stone pot (dolsot bibimbap, Script error: No such module "Lang".)

Hot stone pot bibimbap (dolsot-bibimbap, Script error: No such module "Lang".)[23] is a variation of bibimbap served in a very hot dolsot (stone pot) in which a raw egg is cooked against the sides of the bowl. The bowl is so hot that anything that touches it sizzles for minutes. 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 cook to a crisp, golden brown known as nurungji (Script error: No such module "Lang".). This variation of bibimbap is typically served to order, with the egg and other ingredients mixed in the pot just before consumption.

Yakcho (Script error: No such module "Lang".)

Yakcho-bibimbap (Script error: No such module "Lang".) is from Jecheon. Yak (Script error: No such module "Lang".) is a historical term for medicinal. Jecheon is a great place for medicinal herbs to grow. People could get a thicker root and more medicinal herb than in other areas. The combination of the medicinal herbs and popular bibimbap made it one of the most popular foods in Jecheon.[24]

Hoedeopbap (Script error: No such module "Lang".)

Hoedeopbap (Script error: No such module "Lang".) is a bibimbap with a variety of raw seafood, such as olive flounder, salmon, tuna or sometimes octopus, but each bowl of rice usually contains only one variety of seafood. The term hoe in the word means raw fish. The dish is popular along the coasts of Korea, where fish are abundant.[25]
