bibimbap
noun
bi·bim·bap
ˈbē-ˈbēm-ˈbäp 
variants
or less commonly bi bim bap
: a Korean dish of rice with cooked vegetables, usually meat, and often a raw or fried egg
In Korea, some foods trickled down from the Imperial palace and others have humbler origins. Bibimbap seems to be somewhere in the middle—a dish thought to have been introduced to Korean monarchy by the court of China, but also served to farmers in their fields.—
