The origins of bibimbap


From long ago, the women from Jeonju are well known for their excellent cooking skills and devotion to the cooking. Consequently, most of the people from Jeonju are so fussy about food that it is said that if they ordered food in a restaurant in other cities, chefs bothered themselves to suit their taste. As you can see, Jeonju is called as the hub of the Korean food culture.
Along with Pyeongyang Naeng-Myun (cold noodle) and Gaesung Tang-Myun (rice served in the soup), Jeonju Bibimbab is the representative food of the Chosun Dynasty. Just like Bibimbab, Kongnamul-Bab (rice cooked with bean sprouts) and Han-Jung-Sik (Korean traditional full course menu) are another typical menus of Jeonju, where you can find the particular taste and the generosity of Jeonju.

As Jeonju Bibimbab is made of over thirty kinds of ingredients including bean sprouts, Chung-Po-Mook (mung-bean jelly), sticky rice, chilly paste and so on, it is enormously nutritious, and has been acknowledged as the specialty of Jeonju. It is no surprise that many visitors and tourists who visit Jeonju are determined to eat Bibimbab.
