Korean Recipes
Korean food is based around rice and noodles,with meat, tofu and vegetables.
Spices and seasonings are used extensively, including some uniquely Korean
flavors - these include
doenjang (fermented soybean paste), garlic, ginger, gochujang (red chilli paste), salt and soy sauce.
It is also traditional to serve meals with many different side dishes
(Korean: banchan).
Some popular Korean dishes include:
- Bulgogi - In Korean, bulgogi means "fire meat".
Beef is thinly sliced or shredded and cooked over a grill. Other meats may
be substituted, including
pork ("dweji bulgogi"), chicken ("dak bulgogi"), or squid ("ojingeo bulgogi").
- Dakgalbi - Seasoned chicken cooked over a charcoal grill.
- Gamjatang - Spicy pork spine soup. As well as pork spine, vegetables, including potatoes and green onions, as well as hot peppers and sesame seeds, are used.
- Gujeolpan - This dish was traditionally eaten by Korean nobility and royalty.
In the Korean language, the name means means "dish of nine dishes",
reflecting the fact that it is consists of eight separate small dishes, and pancakes. It is served on
a special octagonal plate with eight side containers (used for the small dishes), and a center container
(used for the pancakes).
- Hoe - Thinly sliced raw fish, somewhat similar to Japanese cuisine's sashimi,
dipped in either chogochujang which is a sauce made from gochujang (red chilli paste), or wasabi sauce,
then wrapped in green leaves, and served on a bed of cellophane noodles ("dangmyeon").
- Japchae - Boiled potato noodles with beef, carrots, onions and spinach.
- Jeongol - A stew made using seafood and vegetables.
- Jokbal - Pig's trotters cooked in soy sauce and spices, deboned, and served with a shrimp sauce.
- Kalbi (or Galbi) - Pork or beef ribs cooked on a charcoal grill.
- Kalguksu - Boiled flat noodles, usually in a broth containing anchovies and zucchini (courgettes).
- Kimchi jjigae - A soup made using kimchi, pork and tofu.
- Kongnamul-bap - Soybean sprouts served over rice.
- Kongnamul-guk - A soup made from soybean sprouts.
- Makchang - The Korean version of chitterlings - grilled pork intestines.
- Maeuntang - Hot and spicy fish soup.
- Ramyeon - Spicy noodles with meat and vegetables, somewhat similar to Japanese cuisine'sramen noodles.
- Samgyeopsal - Pork belly meat (similar to bacon), flavored and seasoned with garlic, sesame oil and salt.
The meat is cooked on an oepn grill and then placed inside lettuce or a similar leafy vegetable,
along cooked rice and ssamjang (a spicy paste), before eating.
Green chillies, slices of raw garlic dipped in ssamjang and spring onion salad, are common accompaniments,
and these help absorb the grease from the meat.
- Sannakji - A small live octopus, cut in pieces and lightly seasoned. The octopus pieces are usually
still moving when the dish is served.
- Tteok - A chewy cake made from
either pounded short-grained rice, pounded glutinous rice, or glutinous rice left whole without pounding.
It may be served hot or cold, and as a dessert or snack. It is also sometimes served with beef, mushrooms,
onions, etc., as a light meal.
- Yukhoe - A raw beef dish somewhat similar to steak tartare. The raw beef is shredded and topped with a raw egg yolk, then seasoned with asian (nashi) pear, black pepper, garlic, gochujang (red chilli paste), green onions, sesame seed, sesame oil, soy sauce and sugar.

Click Here | Product Description: This delightful and personal cookbook introduces the Western reader to a varied, popular and always lively national cuisine. Korean food, with its emphasis on fresh, crunchy salads; lightly steamed and dressed vegetables; rice, beans and noodles; and marinaded charcoal-grilled meats, fish and poultry, is a diet perfectly suited to the tastes and the the health-conscious concerns of diners and adventurous cooks today. About one hundred and fifty easy-to-follow recipes teach the home cook the secrets of a hitherto little known cuisine. There are recipes for classics such as pajon (scallion pancake), bulgogi (soy-and-sesame marinaded beef), chapchae (a delicious noodle and vegetable medley), pimbimpap (a one-dish mixture of rice and any assortment of cultivated and wild vegetables and roots), and of course kim chi in all its fiery manifestations. This is not a book, however, that tries slavishly to recreate Korean foods as enjoyed yesterday or today in Korea. Third-generation Korean Marc Millon, author of numerous book on food and wine in France, Italy, Spain, Britain and elsewhere, understands the difficulties of recreating local and national foods outside of context or country. Not only are ways of eating very different, there can also be difficulties in getting the full range of authentic ingredients and foodstuffs. This book, therefore, also includes second- and third-generation Korean recipes, refined and perfected by the author, who learned them from both his Korean grandmother, Bok Dok Sur, and from his mother Korina Kim.Above all, the overriding criteria in recipe selection is that the end results are delicious and give a true flavour of of an exciting country and cuisine. Flavours of Korea is written for both the practical cook and the armchair cook. Illustrated with Kim Millon's superb photographs and line drawings, it tells not only of the tastes but also of the sights, sounds and traditions of town and country. Much more than just a cookbook, it is based on thorough knowledge, personal experiences and journal notes from their own travels in Korea, and on stories and recipes recounted by Marc's octogenarian Korean grandmother. Above all, it is a culinary journey into a vividly different but always delicious culture and country. |
