I like tasting all kinds of delicious food.I'd like to have a try
Few days ago, my friend treat me dinner in a South Korea restaurant. I find the food is
very very yummy. So I'd like to say something about South Korean food.
KIMCH'I
Because Korea has four distinct seasons, fresh vegetables are not always readily available,
especially during the winter months. It is this reason that led to the development of kimch'i,
which is without a doubt, the most famous of Korean cuisine. Kimch'i is a condiment that
is served with every meal. Information, literature, materials, and equipment related to
kimch'i from ancient times to the present is preserved and exhibited at the Myongga
Kimch'i Museum.
Kimch'i is a traditional fermented vegetable dish which is the most basic side dish at
every Korean meal. The fermentation of the different vegetables used, complemented by
salted fish and other seasonings, gives it a unique flavour. Kimch'i can be preserved for
a long time and was originally put in a clay pot and buried in the fall to allow it to ferment
for use throughout the winter months. Its hot and spicey taste is said to stimulate the
appetite. It is a nutritious dish, providing vitamins, lactic acid and minerals, otherwise
lacking in the winter diet.
PULGOGI
Pulgogi is very thin strips of beef marinated in soy sauce, garlic, onions, sugar, and black
pepper. You can cook this dish yourself at your table using a gas fired grill (sort of like a
barbeque) To eat it, you take a lettuce leaf, and onto the leaf you put a small amount of
meat, rice, vegatables, some sesame leaf, etc. This is then folded up and popped into
your mouth.
PIBIMBAP (rice with vegetables)
Pibimbap is made by adding vegetables that have been seasoned and stir fried to rice and
red pepper sauce. Typically bean sprouts are added and it is often served with a bowl of
bean sprout soup on the side. Each area of Korea includes its own local products in its
pibimbap, making each one unique. Tolsot (stone pot) pibimbap is served sizzling hot in
a stone pot that keeps the rice and vegetables warm all the while you are eating.
