Bibimbap is rice mixed with vegetables, meat, and egg, or whatever is available. Before being named bibimbap at the beginning of the 20th century, the dish was called goldongban in the late 1300s during the Joseon Period. Bibimbap is typically served in a hot bowl and mixed at the table, cooking the egg in the process.
