My Opinion about Korean Food

 I cooked nine Korean foods. Define the topic of blog post, I experienced a lot of trouble. I have thought about Korean food. I believe that rather than indicating the cooking method, this statement is important.

Globalization of Korea food is difficult.

 First, we do not eat more than you think Korea food. What was your lunch menu today? What you ate last night? Frankly I had a chicken last night. And today's lunch menu was Ramen. Korean food is a meal of rice center. According to recent news, South Korea's rice consumption is declining. At first wonder, but now I understand. Also in my case, I do not eat only one meal a day. So when selecting a topic, Korean did not think well. I think the only pork cutlet, pasta, etc. I realized that I do not know Korea foods. This will be not only my problem. We should admit that we are not familiar with Korea food.

 Second, it is complicated to make the Korea food. For example, seems easier to make Japchae. But it took more than an hour. I made ​​as simple as possible. In my opinion, the globalization of food must be eaten quickly and easily created like Sushi and Pizza. However, it takes time to make

the Korea food.

 It is necessary to work in order to globalization Korea foods. First, it is important for the understanding of Korea foods. According to my experience, foreign food, Korea food was confusing. For example, I realized later that I made from Doenjang Jjigae, that is similar Miso soup of Japan. I was relieved to know a difference. Another example, I was thinking about to Tonkatsu. It was Japanese food. And there is what is ready-to-eat also in the Korea foods. We need to develop it.

Hello! Today dish is stir-fried spicy pork. The most important aspect of this dish is the Gochujang. It is a savory and pungent fermented Korean condiment made from red chili, glutinous rice, fermented soybeans and salt. It is a seasoning on behalf of Korea along with the soy sauce. Stir-fried spicy pork is a popular dish for a long time. Other side dish is not needed if there is stir-fried spicy pork.

From now on, I'll introduce the material.

Doenjang Jjigae

Hello! Today dish is Doenjang Jjigae (Soybean Paste Stew). Often Doenjang of Korea, Miso of Japan is confused. However, fermentation bacteria are different these two things. However, the common point of both is a good for healthy. Doenjang is known to be good for the anti-cancer effects. But Doenjang Jjigae is very salty. So you should not expect a health food. In addition, Korean food, there is a difference in the Jjigae and Gug. More water enters the Gug. So, Gug is not salty food. It is food that is easy to eat in the morning. But Jjigae use more attention to other materials. It comes out pot still. Several people eat together on one pot. In contrast, Gug emerges a personal plate. Anyway, I prefer Jjiage. It is delicious. So, I cooked a Jjigae rather than a Gug.

Now I’ll introduce material.

2. Do you know Ttukbaegi? A Ttukbaegi is Korean unglazed earthenware pot. The advantage of this container keeps the heat will be a long time. I’ll show you a picture.

 It looks more delicious? I think so. In order to dish, container also very important.

Gamja Jeon

 Today dish is Gamja (potato) Jeon. Jeon is similar to pancakes. Especially, it is a food recall on a rainy day. There are many kinds of Jeon. This name is different depending on the material. For example, Kimchi Jeon, green onion (fa) Jeon, Gamja Jeon and so on. The delicious even if I put the material you want to include Jeon. My favorite Jeon is Gamja Jeon and Kimchi Jeon.
