Korean food is one the most pleasant discoveries a

neophyte traveler will make during his visit here.

Korea’s unique cuisine is another aspect of the nation’s

distinctively different culture. Neither its ingredients nor its

seasonings resemble the dishes of any other country, near

or far.

Most Korean foods are boldly spiced, carrying the blended

tang and savory goodness of red pepper that can range

from hot to sweet, garlic, onions or leeks, sesame seeds

and oil, and wop sauce. However, the flavoring can also be

subtle in delicate soups, regal casseroles, fragrant white

rice and all the other special dishes based on rice,

including decorative rice cakes for special occasions.

Among the most popular dishes, besides the ever present

white rice, are the tangy barbecued beef strips known as

bulgogi, “fire beef” and ribs, known as “galbi,”cooked at

the table on charcoal braziers.

There is also the beloved traditional dish known as

“kimchee.” Korean kimchee is pickled in a pungent salt

brine with red hot pepper, garlic, ginger, green onions,

chives and fresh anchovies. Pears are often used to

impart a special freshness. A variety of vegetables can be

used in the pickling process, but the cabbage is the most

familiar.

Kimchee is thought be a health food because it is made

from fresh, organic ingredients. lt is also thought to aid the

digestion, speed the metabolism, and keep the body in

balance.

Korean kimchee is more flavorful than that made by the

Japanese, who tried to copy the Korean style of kimchee,

but their version is very different, and does not use the fermentation

process that gives kimchee its special

unique flavor. ln ancient times, kimchee was enjoyed not

only by the common people, but also by kings.

A legacy of the Korean royal kitchen is the “kujolpan,” a

banquet in itself, in which intriguing fillings are mixed and

rolled up in tiny pancakes like miniature tortillas.

Not found everywhere, but a dish fit for a king.

Korean foods range from the bland to the blistering

Peppery kimchi, delicate stews and soups, and intriguingly

seasoned side dishes of vegetables, fish or meat.
