Because the climate and local conditions are suitable for the development of agriculture, South Korea began to grow miscellaneous grains as early as the Neolithic Age, and then popularized the cultivation of rice. Since then, grain has become the center of Korean food culture, and in the late Three Kingdoms period, an inherent Korean home-cooked meal with rice and vegetables as the main non-staple food was formed. Later, cereal diets such as rice, porridge, cakes, noodles, jiaozi, sliced soup and wine were developed, which also brought the development of fermented diets based on soy sauce and then yellow sauce. There are not only cultivated vegetables, but also a wide variety of wild vegetables naturally grown in Shan Ye, which can be used to make cold dishes, rice balls, vegetarian dishes, pickles and so on. Decorate the dining table with seasons.

Traditionally, ginger, cinnamon, Artemisia argyi, Schisandra chinensis, Lycium barbarum, Adenophora adenophora, Platycodon grandiflorum, papaya, pomegranate, grapefruit, ginseng and other medicinal materials have been widely used in cooking. There are various foods such as ginseng chicken soup, mugwort cake, radix adenophorae, cold salad, etc. And ginger tea, ginseng tea, papaya tea, citron tea, wolfberry tea, cassia seed tea, tea and other drinks. Seasonings and spices are also called medicines in Korea. It has always been thought that onion, garlic, ginger, pepper, sesame oil and sesame have medicinal value. Koreans usually take rice as the staple food, accompanied by several dishes. The staple food is mainly rice and miscellaneous grains rice, mixed with miscellaneous grains such as millet, barley, soybean and adzuki bean.

Non-staple foods are mainly soup, miso soup, pickles, sauces, and foods made of meat, flat fish, vegetables and seaweed. This way of eating can not only eat all kinds of foods in a balanced way, but also achieve the goal of balanced nutrition.

The staple food is rice, porridge, noodles, jiaozi, rice cake soup and sliced soup; Non-staple foods include soup, miso soup, roast, stir-fry, sauced meat, stir-fry, sliced meat, wild vegetables, vegetables, sauced fish, dried fish, miso, stew, hot pot, pickles and so on. In addition to this daily diet, there are all kinds of cakes, maltose, tea, wine and other diets. It promoted the development of sauce, fish in sauce, pickles, etc. Used for storing fermented food.

Korean food includes daily food that is repeated every day, food that must be held in a lifetime, harvest festivals and fish festivals that pray for harvest and fishing, tribal food that prays for tribal peace, and sacrificial food that mourns the dead. At the same time, it also uses the food at that time to make seasonal dishes according to the different seasons. South Korea's seasonal food custom is formed by coordinating the wisdom of man and nature, and it is also very scientific in nutrition. For example, eating walnuts on the fifteenth day of the first month will not cause sores all year round, which must be based on scientific theory. It can supplement fatty acids and effectively prevent skin rot, tinea and eczema. And beginning of spring eats wild vegetables in spring, which not only has the feeling of welcoming spring, but also can supplement the vitamins lacking in winter.

It can be said that local food is a local specialty produced according to local geography and climate characteristics, and it is an authentic folk food made by ancestral cooking methods. From this point of view, the Chinese New Year customs passed down from various places not only have the characteristics of local culture, but also have great significance in nutrition.

Compared with China people, Korean people's diet is relatively simple. There should be rice, soup and side dishes every day. Pickles and the like are called fresh pickles in the northeast. Besides, cooking is rarely done, and the meat is mainly barbecue, but no one can cook barbecue at ordinary times. If China people go to Korea to eat Korean food for a few days, they will definitely not be able to stand it. However, Koreans are very comfortable in China. Few Koreans say that their diet is not suitable. Most people say Chinese food is delicious. I said Koreans prefer food and drinks.

First, food.

1, Sichuan cuisine

When it comes to Sichuan cuisine, the first thing that comes to mind is spicy. It is precisely because Koreans like spicy food that they prefer Sichuan food. By extension, Hunan cuisine, Yunnan cuisine and Guizhou cuisine are all closely related to spicy food. Among them, the favorite is "kung pao chicken", and it is believed that 99% of Koreans have eaten this dish in China. So when you invite Koreans to dinner, you must order "kung pao chicken". In addition, the "husband and wife lung slices" and boiled fish in Sichuan cuisine are both popular dishes for Koreans. Among snacks, mala Tang is Sichuan cuisine. Despite the harsh environment, Koreans stand on the street and eat mala Tang like China people. Chongqing hot pot is also the favorite of Koreans. In addition, the rice noodles and rice noodles of Yunnan cuisine may be "noodles" made of rice, which are also very popular among Koreans.

2. Beijing cuisine

Beijing cuisine should be regarded as a branch of Shandong cuisine. Maybe it's the meat. Koreans prefer to eat "shredded pork with Beijing sauce" and "roast duck", which are also famous dishes in China. Therefore, if you invite Koreans to dinner, you don't have to order high-end dishes. It may be better to order cheap and affordable "shredded pork with Beijing sauce".

3. Xinjiang cuisine

Mutton kebabs are Xinjiang delicacies! Perhaps Koreans should stay away from the grassland and eat less mutton, so they came to China to eat mutton kebabs, just as mutton kebabs became popular in China after entering the mainland from Xinjiang in the 1980s, and they soon became popular among Koreans. Generally, Koreans must eat mutton kebabs before returning to China, because they can't eat mutton kebabs in Korea.

It is particularly important to note here that Koreans dislike coriander the most and can't get used to the taste, so don't order dishes with coriander, or you will spend money in vain. On the other hand, Koreans don't like smelly food, such as stinky tofu, mustard foam, natto and so on.

Second, drink.

1, coffee

Koreans like to drink coffee and generally don't refuse to drink coffee. And maybe Koreans don't drink hot water, especially like cold coffee and iced coffee.

2. tea

Because Pu 'er tea has the function of scraping oil, it can lose weight indirectly, and at the same time, it can remove oil from blood vessels and lower blood pressure. By chance, a Korean woman drank Pu 'er tea in Yunnan, and heard that it had many effects. When she brought Pu 'er tea to Korea, Pu 'er tea suddenly became popular in Korea. Pu 'er tea, which used to be almost neglected in China, has found a market in South Korea. Therefore, Koreans especially like Pu 'er tea, which is sometimes confused with China's green tea. Because Koreans drink less China tea, they just worry that Koreans think Pu 'er tea is China tea, and finally they don't know China famous teas such as Longjing Tieguanyin, only know Pu 'er tea, and think that China tea is the taste of Pu 'er tea, so they generalize. In a word, Pu 'er tea is the best choice for giving gifts to Koreans.

3. wine

The shochu that Koreans drink is a kind of wine similar to China yellow rice wine, but in the hearts of Koreans, Maotai is the most famous one. Koreans who come to China want to drink Maotai, which is also a standard for high-end receptions. As far as beer is concerned, Koreans don't care much. In Beijing, a bottle of Yanjing is enough for 2 yuan.

4. Water

Water is a necessity in every country. Koreans prefer mineral water. They don't drink hot water, so there is no need to boil water for them.

In short, although Koreans are close to China, there are still many differences in diet. It is not necessary to be expensive for us to get in touch with Koreans, but the best reception plan is to cater to their interests. When we learn Korean, we will certainly understand this food culture, which is also very helpful for our study.
