Travel Info What are some of the comman foods south korea? Travel Tips Current Day Cuisine Rice and noodles are still staples however Korean cooking does differ enormously from neighboring Chinese and Japanese cooking in that it makes use of strong and sometimes very pungent flavorings. Having said that, everyday food is not necessarily spicy hot as, in general, chillies are often used by means of condiments which can be added by diners to suit their own tastes. The rice generally eaten in Korea is a sticky rice which can be obtained by soaking the uncooked rice for 30 minutes prior to cooking. Traditional households still own large earthenware preserving pots filled with pickled vegetables (kimchi) or soybean and chili pastes and dried fish, in particular cuttlefish, are eaten by most of the populace. As with many other Asian countries, all the dishes for a meal (apart from the soup) are served at the same time. The average family would serve three or four dishes plus rice however, on special occasions as many as 12 dishes are served. These settings are referred to as 鈥渃hop鈥?so if they are serving 6 dishes it would be known as 6-chop. Food is served on a low table and is eaten with metal chopsticks or a spoon for the soup. Widely used flavorings include garlic, ginger, soy sauce, soybean paste, rice vinegar, sesame oil and chili often in the form of a paste. The Koreans have a wide range of cooking methods including steaming, stir-frying, grilling, barbecuing and stewing. Food in Korea is similar in some ways to the food of Japan and China, in that vegetables and small amounts of meat or fish are cooked with a sauce and served on a grain, usually rice, but there are differences in seasonings and in the frequent use of uncooked vegetables to make salads and pickles. The food of North and South Korea is virtually the same, as the division is a political rather than cultural one, although South Korea has had more western influences in recent years. Vegetarian dishes are frequently eaten with soybean and sesame products, although meat, especially beef, is served for special occasions. Korean food can seem spicy to someone unaccustomed to the mix of ginger, garlic, onion, and red and black peppers.
