Everyone knows that Korean kimchi is very famous. Kimchi is the first food in Korea. It is nutritious, delicious and very beautiful. It is a dish that Koreans can't live without. In addition to kimchi, Koreans can't live without hot sauce, which exists in kimchi, barbecue, noodles and seafood. Lettuce and cucumber dipped in hot sauce are one dish. It can be said that one of the characteristics of Korean food is spicy. This spicy food is different from that in China. China's spicy food is fragrant, salty and spicy, while Korean food is sweet and dry. I don't feel it when I eat it, but swallowing it makes people gasp.
There is a snack in Korea, which is similar to China's Niangao. It is cylindrical, long and cut into small pieces. It is put into a frying pan and mixed with red hot sauce. It is fried and eaten. Many restaurants have this snack.
Pancakes are also a famous Korean food, but they are thicker than those in China. They usually contain things like shredded squid, and most of them are only the size of a palm, so they are easy to roll up. There is also a kind of pancake made of potato flour, which should be dipped in seasoning and tastes good. Similar to the food in China, there are jiaozi, mainly fried dumplings, steamed dumplings and steamed buns, but they all have sweet fillings, just like thick-skinned bean buns.
Korean cold noodles must have been heard of. In the iced sweet and sour soup, there is a thin noodle with two boiled eggs and two pears or radishes on it, which is very delicious. Cold noodles are mainly Pyongyang cold noodles made of buckwheat noodles and Xianxing cold noodles made of potatoes. Eating methods can also be divided into soup and Chili sauce, and the taste is very smooth. It's so cool to sit cross-legged and have a bowl of cold noodles in hot summer!
Koreans usually eat barbecue when inviting guests to dinner, that is, they marinate beef or steak with seasoning and then bake it on an iron plate. Garlic, hot sauce, lettuce leaves and pickles are naturally indispensable. A little more advanced, more seafood, meat wrapped in lettuce leaves, delicious. There is also a hot pot, similar to Japanese hot pot, which is actually a wok. Put meat slices, onions, Flammulina velutipes, etc. Add soy sauce to the pot, fry it and dip it in seasoning. It tastes a little sweet, but it will be a little greasy if you eat too much. Koreans don't like greasy, so when the meat in the pot oozes oil, they will suck it with a paper towel.
Once, my friend invited me to eat steak soup. I think it must be delicious. As soon as you look at it, there are several rows in the casserole alone, and some chopped green onion is sprinkled in the clear soup, which tastes very weak. They have skimmed the oil! I have to eat kimchi for dinner.
Bibimbap is also a representative food in Korea, that is, white rice is put in a big bowl made of stone, and the bowl is hot. Add meat, eggs, bean sprouts and other dishes, add Chili sauce and mix well to serve. The taste is not very good, but it is crisp and fragrant.
Koreans are very particular about nourishing, and they should eat ginseng chicken soup in dog days. Ginseng chicken soup is made by stewing chicken with glutinous rice, ginseng and jujube. Until cooked, dip in salt and eat. It is said that it is very nutritious. Speaking of soup
Kimchi
Kimchi (local) turkey noodles, your best choice, barbecue is not recommended (expensive, tasteless, everywhere in China).
Although Korean food can't compare with my Greater China area, if you travel, you can try some special foods.
1. Korean BBQ: In Korean dramas, we can always see a group of people who like to sit in a shed and barbecue in winter or summer. A pot of shochu tastes different. As a special food in Korea, these must be eaten in Korea. Just seeing those sashimi taste different, and hearing the sizzling sashimi will make my mouth water.
2. Korean kimchi: Korean tea is pickled by itself, and there is a lot of research on the choice of vegetables and seasonings, but these kimchi can only be eaten at home, because each family has its own brew, so some places will not sell these.
3. Korean bibimbap: We can also see these bibimbap in some restaurants, but the taste is definitely not as authentic as that of South Korea. When I saw the bibimbap in Korean dramas, I thought it must be delicious, so I went to Korea to eat.
4. Korean miso soup: Generally, miso soup is eaten with bibimbap. This collocation method is also enviable, and this miso soup is not very greasy, but it tastes different.
5. Health ginseng chicken soup: Korean chicken soup is also different, because Koreans pay great attention to health, so they will drink Chinese medicine in chicken soup, which is also beneficial to qi and blood and delays aging.
6. Barley tea: In Korean restaurants, you can see Barley tea everywhere. Boil the barley directly in the pot, and then you can quote. Moreover, barley tea also has the effect of losing weight, so it is also the true love of Korean cooking powder.
As an international student who has been in Korea for five years, there are probably a few things I miss most after returning home.
1. fried chicken
I think Korean fried chicken is really delicious among all brands, and even I think the fried chicken made in our school tastes different from that made in the family workshop. Besides the original flavor, brand fried chicken generally has a special flavor. For example, I was deeply impressed by the honey in the school village and BBQ seasoning powder. Although many Korean fried chicken have branches in China now, and I have tried some different brands, I always feel that it doesn't taste like that. The biggest feature of Korean fried chicken is that the skin is soft and crisp, and the secret sauces of each family are really good.
2. Pizza
I think Korean pizza has two characteristics, one is that the bottom of pizza is very thin, and the other is that it will put a lot of cheese. Koreans really spend a lot of time at the bottom of pizza. I remember once I bought an ultra-thin bottom, but after cutting it, I found that there was a layer of purple potato sandwich inside. It was a real shock. How did it happen? As for cheese, I feel that domestic pizzas usually only add cheese on the side of pizza, but Korean pizzas are really not exaggerated, and will cover the whole cake. Although this heat is really ... but in South Korea, where the per capita gym is located, this heat should be a small case for them.
3. ribs soup
I like all kinds of soups in Korea very much, such as miso soup and tender tofu soup. But my favorite soup should be sparerib soup. In fact, in Korea, sparerib soup is called "potato soup". I'm afraid that when I say I like potato soup, people will think, "Why do you like this kind of food? Ha ha ha ha ". In fact, although its name is potato soup, it has only 10% relationship with potatoes. It mainly consists of ribs stewed for several hours. The ribs are really delicious. As soon as I tore it off, I glued it on with a special seasoning (mustard and sour juice like white vinegar, which is available in every store). The rice is really delicious and I want to eat it. ...
4. Chicks
It's a bit like boiled chicken in China. China should be familiar with Korean ginseng chicken soup, but I don't know much about it. Personally, I prefer chicken. Compared with the ribs soup mentioned above, this soup is also delicious. Generally, after eating, the store will process chicken soup into porridge for you. After drinking it in winter, I really feel warm all over, and then the method of eating chicken is similar to that of ribs in ribs soup. The taste is mainly solved by dipping. Koreans really know how to mix this dip. I have always liked the dip in our school's former store, and I like to eat a bottle of hahaha every time. I feel like I'm drinking dip.
In fact, there are many delicious snacks, all kinds of fried things and roadside stalls in Korea. In recent years, they have gradually become known through various Korean dramas and variety shows. I hope everyone can taste it for themselves ~
1. Walnut snacks
Add sweet red bean stuffing to the round dough, and then add snacks made of walnut blocks outside the snacks.
2. Fried cake strips
The snacks that Koreans eat most often are suitable for all ages. Because it is made of Chili sauce, it may be a little spicy, but I think the hotter the better!
3. Crucian carp snacks
Add good flour to the model of crucian carp, and then add red bean stuffing, which is the favorite snack of Koreans in winter. Because it is called crucian snack, foreigners think they have crucian stuffing in their hearts!
4. Fried snacks
Snacks often used with fried bread sticks. There are many kinds of fried squid, sweet potato, kimbap, jiaozi, vegetables and so on. Some people like dipping in soy sauce, while others like eating Chili soup with fried cake strips.
5. Grilled and salted mutton kebabs
Chicken skewers, sausages, cakes, eggs, etc. Fried and eaten with Chili sauce or ketchup.
6. Kimbap
Put a layer of rice on laver, add 4~5 kinds of materials such as carrots, egg strips, artificial crab meat and spinach, roll them up, and then cut them into small pieces to eat. In addition to rice, there are seaweed mini rice, one bite at a time, which is very convenient to eat.
7.mini pizza
The volume of kneaded flour, vegetables, ham, seasoning and cheese added into the oven grinder is only 1/4 of that of ordinary pizza, so it is very suitable for street sales because it is relatively small.
8. cookies
After kneading the dough, add brown sugar to make it round, and then fry it in oil until it is yellow. Delicious biscuits are made. In the past, biscuits only contained sugar, but recently nuts such as peanuts and pine nuts were added, which made them very sweet. There were also pizza biscuits with pizza sauce and cheese, low-calorie diet biscuits and other biscuits.
9.hot dogs
After inserting disposable chopsticks into the ham sausage, dip it in a layer of paste and fry it. Some hot dogs have a layer of potato chips on the outside! Many children lick the sugar and ketchup outside first, then eat delicious fried noodles, and finally eat ham and sausage inside!
10. Fish powder
On the streets in winter, the most attractive thing is delicious fish meal and fish meal soup! There are many kinds of flavors, such as original fish meal, seafood fish meal, pepper fish meal, fried cake string and so on. Usually eaten with soy sauce.
Ding Hanshi (Korean set meal): It was originally a court dish in the Korean era. The table was filled with all kinds of side dishes, except kimchi, which was characterized by no Chili powder. Steaming, roasting, scalding, mixing, etc. Various cooking methods are exhausted, the materials are seasoned and the colors are diverse and rich. The recipes and prices of each restaurant are not consistent, but it will definitely include a "10% discount plate" wrapped in wheat pancakes and a hot pot stewed with meat, fish, vegetables and mushrooms.
Roast beef and steak: Korean barbecue is best for China people. There are many kinds of barbecues in Korea, and the most delicious is steak (the ribs of cows fed with milk are soaked in spices and cooked on an iron plate). )。 In addition, roast beef (sliced beef marinated and roasted with seasoning) is also very popular. After the meat is cooked, it should be dipped in Korean Chili sauce or bean paste, and then wrapped with lettuce and millet leaves (some garlic cloves can be wrapped), just like eating Beijing Quanjude roast duck. Usually comes with 3-5 kinds of pickles or side dishes.
Cold noodles:? Korean cold noodles, like Korean dishes, rarely contain oil, which is quite different from Sichuan cold noodles in China. There are two forms of cold noodles: one is "water cold noodles" with soup, which is very refreshing. The second is "mixed cold noodles" without soup and Chili sauce as seasoning. According to the cold noodles with Pyongyang flavor in the region, buckwheat is the main material of "noodles"; Xianxing cold noodles, starch with potatoes as the main component. Most of the ingredients added to cold noodles are meat, vegetables or boiled eggs, and some restaurants will put sashimi. The length of cold noodles is amazing. Please don't be afraid when the waitress comes with scissors. You don't need scissors to cut them short. I'm afraid it will be difficult to eat. In addition, there is another variant of cold noodles-"warm noodles". As the name implies, soup is warm.
Don't eat cold noodles suddenly, because if there is too little oil, you will soon feel hungry. It will be boring to eat another bowl of cold noodles after the barbecue.
Bibimbap: Korean bibimbap is another major feature of Korean cuisine, among which "Stone Bowl Bibimbap" is a unique recipe in Korea. "Stone bowl bibimbap" is to put vegetables such as bean sprouts, meat, eggs (raw eggs) and various seasonings on white rice, then put them in a hot stone bowl, add Korean Chili sauce, and eat after stirring. It is not only delicious, but also unique in form. Because the stone bowl is very hot, there will be a crust at the bottom of the bowl. Don't throw it away, because the crispy rice is more delicious when mixed with many ingredients.
Suitable for China people's taste.
Ginseng chicken soup: it's soup, but it's actually rice. It is made by stewing glutinous rice, jujube, garlic and ginseng in broilers for a long time. Add pepper and salty salt according to personal preference when eating. Rich in nutrition, it can be called a tonic.

However, China's four famous dishes can still be tasted in Korea. Recently, the facilities of China restaurants are becoming more and more luxurious, and many restaurants are modeled after the ancient city of China or the Great Wall of Wan Li.
Of course, it suits China people's tastes, and it's more expensive.
