Bap (Korean: 밥)[2][3] is a Korean name for cooked rice prepared by boiling rice or other grains, such as black rice, barley, sorghum, various millets, and beans, until the water has cooked away.[4][5] Special ingredients such as vegetables, seafood, and meat can also be added to create different kinds of bap.[6] In the past, except for the socially wealthy class, people used to eat mixed grain rice together with beans and barley rather than only rice.[7]
In Korea, grain food centered on rice has been the most commonly used since ancient times and has established itself as a staple food in everyday diets.[8]
In Korean, the honorific terms for bap (meal) include jinji (진지) for an elderly person, sura (수라) for a monarch, and me (메) for the deceased (in the ancestral rites).
