Korean cuisine
cooking ingredients
Seasoning
Spicing is robust. Chili peppers, toasted sesame seeds, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and fermented soy bean paste are among the commonest flavorings.
Meat
Beef is the favorite Korean meat. Pork and chicken are also popular.
Seafood
The long coastlines and cold mountain streams yield a bounty of fish and shellfish. The latter is often dried.
Vegetables
Korean cooks show great love and respect for produce. This includes Asian-style cabbage, daikon, cucumbers, beans, mushrooms, and bean sprouts.
Chief starch staple
Rice is the leader, and is usually the short-grained sticky variety. Noodles (especially rice and buckwheat) are also popular.
Bean Curd
As in China and Japan, bean curd is widely used by cooks.
Korean beverages
Teas
Herbal, spice, and barley teas are popular dining accompaniments, though plain water is also a beverage of choice at a meal.
Alcoholic drinks
Favorites include beer and potent clear spirits like soju.
