Dietary characteristics of Koreans:

Koreans especially like to eat Chili, and Chili noodles and Chili sauce are indispensable seasonings at ordinary times. This is related to the cold and humid climate in Korea and the need to resist cold and moisture when planting rice, just as kimchi is a necessary non-staple food with Korean national characteristics in winter. In October every year, Chinese cabbage and Rachel are washed and dried, then various seasonings such as pepper, garlic, onion and seafood are added, covered with a vat, and sealed for half a month to 1 months before eating. Every housewife has a unique craft and secret recipe for pickling kimchi, so the taste of kimchi is different from family to family.
