    A Korean Cooking Cookbook - Jaehyun Hwan

    Kimchi)

    INTRODUCTION

    The conventional food for several millions of Koreans at home in Korea and abroad is known as the Korean Cuisine. This cuisine is fast becoming an international sensation, with the exciting, fascinating and varied way it is made. The Korean cuisine creates its unparalleled tastes and flavors from blending some ingredients together such as; chili pepper (for that hot/spicy characteristic taste), ginger, garlic, salt, soy sauce, soybean paste and sesame oil. The Korean cuisine changes with the season and it is founded largely on rice, tofu, fish and vegetables. Fermented vegetable (known as kimchi), soup and the ever present rice are always served with banchan, also known as Korean side dish. The number and types of side dishes served per meal differs from one Korean café to another and they are served in just enough quantities to avoid leftovers - the number banchan dishes served ranges from 2-12 dishes.

    The Korean cuisine has evolved over the years with nearness to Japan and china, with the climate changes from very cold winters, humid summers and hot seasons, with influences from European traders and the Portuguese in the seventh century introducing chili pepper.

    The Classic Korean Table

    The major quality of the Korean table setting is that every dish is served at once - setting the Korean table is as essential as the cooking. The way dishes are arranged on the Korean table depends on the main dish you will be serving and every Korean meal is eaten with a spoon and set of chopsticks. The Korean meal is an exotic meal with a typical presentation; an example of a Korean table setting includes:

    A main dish - seafood, soup, stew or meat

    An assortment of banchan dishes in small bowls

    A spoon for soup and rice

    Chopsticks for side dishes

    A small bowl with hot soup (this depends on the Korean meal being served)

    A ceramic or stainless steel bowl of rice with a good cover to keep warm.

    Korean Cooking Basics

    A major feature of most Korean meals is a bowl of rice; with noodles as a close substitute. Each individual will have their own rice/noodle bowls and stew/soup bowls, while every other main dish(es) and side dish(es) {tofu, sea food or meat} will be placed at the center of the table. Most Korean side dishes are served at room temperature or cold, even though Korean soups and stews are served almost at boiling point. Over several thousands of years, Koreans mastered the art of food preservation; so many Korean side dishes are spicy, fermented, salted or pickled. Geographically, Korea is a large land mass that projects into water, so a lot of seafood is available to Koreans and it characterizes a major part of Korean meals even though in the past few decades, meat consumption became a common thing.

    Koreans are skillful with the use of chopsticks and every traditional Korean meal is eaten with a long stainless steel spoon and a set of stainless steel chopsticks. Meat and are chopped into small bite sixed chunks to allow for easy chopsticks handling. Each conventional Korean meal is placed on a low down table and the people sits on the floor.

    Korean Cuisine Sauces & Spices

    There are sauces and spices that are pertinent to the Korean cuisine which gives it its delicious taste, such as:

    Scallions

    Ginger

    Garlic

    Soy sauce

    Daenjang (soy bean)

    Kochukaru (chili pepper flakes)

    Kochujang (chili pepper paste)

    Enjoy the endless deliciousness of the Korean cooking.
