Bibimbap
Bibimbap (비빔밥, , 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). A raw or fried egg and sliced meat (usually beef) are common additions. The ingredients are stirred together thoroughly just before eating. It is best served hot. In Korea, Jeonju, Jinju, and Tongyeong are especially famous for their versions of bibimbap. In 2011, it was listed at number 40 on the "World's 50 most delicious foods" readers' poll compiled by CNN Travel.
