Lunch - Bibimbap

Bibimbap, lately seeing it quite commonly everywhere. normally served in hot stone and we supposed to stir all the fillings with rice before eating it. Last time I always see it in the Korean drama show.

From Wikipedia, the word literally means "stirred/mixed rice" or "stirred/mixed meal". The city of Jeonju, the capital of the North Jeolla Province of South Korea (located about two and a half hours' drive south of Seoul), is famous throughout the nation for its version of bibimbap, said to be based on a royal court dish.

Bibimbap is first mentioned in the Siuijeonseo, an anonymous cookbook from the late 19th century. There its name is given as 부븸밥 (bubuimbap).In Korean households, it is frequently prepared from leftover rice, vegetables, and meat.

Ok, that's all for now and the trip down the timeline
