Category - South Korean

South Korean cuisine is based on rice, vegetables, and meats. Traditional Korean meals are named for the number of side dishes that accompany steam-cooked short-grain rice. Also Kimchi is served at nearly every meal. Commonly used ingredients include sesame oil, soy sauce, salt, garlic, ginger, pepper flakes, and cabbage. A cuisine worth trying.

Ingredients and dishes vary by province. Regional dishes have become national, and dishes that were regional have spread in different variations. In Korea the rice or soup bowl is not lifted from the table when eating from it. Unlike china, Vietnam and Japan. This is due to each setting being served with a metal spoon and chopsticks.
