Nurungji (hangul: 누룽지) is a traditional Korean food consisting of scorched rice. After boiling and serving rice, a thin crust of scorched rice (called "nurungji") will usually be left in the bottom of the pot. Rather than being discarded, this scorched rice is eaten as a snack. It can also be re-boiled as nurungji bap (누룽지밥) or nureun bap (눌은밥), usually as a breakfast food.
In the late 20th century, South Korean companies made nurungji available in a dried, pre-packaged form (usually a thin disc several inches in diameter).photo
Nurungji can also refer to the crispy crust of rice that forms at the bottom of the stone pot when cooking dolsot bibimbap (돌솥 비빔밥), a mixed rice dish.
In Chinese cuisine, a very similar dish is called guoba, and in Vietnamese cuisine, it is called cơm cháy.
