Bibimbap that you mix and eat separately.

February 28, 2025

Our country’s food culture is a soup culture, which is distinct from the Western culture of eating in small plates.

Also, our bibimbap culture is integrated into one, so it is easy to communicate (if you go to a local festival, you will see a culture where rice and various vegetables are put in a large bowl and mixed together with a large spoon), but on the other hand, there is also a separate soup culture.

Also, bibimbap culture is a culture of fusion. In foreign countries, it is well known as a healthy and well-being food due to the use of vegetable vegetables. It can be said that bibimbap is a major food along with kimchi, bulgogi, and gimbap.

This bibimbap is a food that puts various vegetables in rice, which is a grain, and tops it with gochujang, which can be seen as a type of sauce, and various ingredients such as egg yolk are often used to create shape and color.

Sundae gukbap and somori gukbap are representative examples of these types of soups, and can be commonly found in almost every town or county office. They are representative regional dishes, such as Daegu’s ttarogukbap and Naju’s gomtang, and each region’s unique soup culture, and each food represents the characteristics of the region.

Our country’s culture is a mixed culture, so it is called bibimbap culture, but there are many opposing opinions.

Perhaps in the past, until 100 years ago, there was a sense of community, but even then, the fierce competition to make a living in a small landmass and poor soil with 70% mountainous area was the cause, but the connection to bibimbap culture is somewhat weak.

As some experts say, the population of Seoul Hanyang in the early Joseon Dynasty was about 200,000, so it is said that ancient cities of this size were rare, excluding large Chinese cities or European cities at the time.

When did we start to have a culture of rapid rapids, fierce competition, and the need to catch up with others who are doing well without being able to just watch?

If we talk about this to small business owners or small and medium-sized enterprises, bibimbap is not necessarily good, but it absorbs the characteristics and talents of individuals into the organization, blocking the employment of creative talents and creative thinking.

Rather than this, it would be necessary to create tools/opportunities that allow individuals to fully reveal and utilize their aptitudes.

Also, bibimbap is a harmonious but not harmonious thing, so it is the same as the Tao Te Ching’s Dong-i-bul-hwa (38 Hwa-taek-gyu’s object of being the same but different, Dong-i-i, but there is a difference in content (it seems harmonious on the outside but is not on the inside).
