What goes into bibimbap?
Bibimbap
This dish was traditionally eaten on the eve of the lunar new year as the people at that time felt that they had to get rid of all of the leftover side dishes before the new year. The solution to this problem was to put all of the leftovers in a bowl of rice and to mix them together.[9] Bibimbap is also thought to have been eaten by farmers during farming season as it was the easiest way to make food for a large number of people. Bibimbap was served to the king usually as a lunch or a between-meal snack.[10]
