  A comforting bowl of soybean sprout bibimbap with a soft fried egg and warm sprout soup. Easy Korean Soybean Sprout Bibimbap (Kongnamul Bibimbap) & Quick Companion Soup Some dishes are special not because they are elaborate or expensive, but because they bring you right back home. Soybean Sprout Bibimbap ( Kongnamul Bibimbap / 콩나물 비빔밥 ) is one of those deeply comforting dishes for me. Soybean sprouts are a cornerstone of daily cooking in my hometown of Jeonju, Korea —a city world-famous for its rich food culture and bibimbap traditions. From simple side dishes to warming soups, soybean sprouts are everywhere.
