Bibimbap is the dish par excellence of Korean cuisine. It consists of rice, different kinds of vegetables, minced meat and an egg that is usually left raw. It is considered one of the healthiest dishes in the world because it contains all the nutrients our body needs and is usually served in stone bowls so that it never gets cold. Jeonju is considered the home of bibimbap, so much so that a festival is dedicated to this dish; the special feature of Jeonju bibimbap is the cooking of rice that is not made in water but in broth.
