Everyone knows that kimchi in Korea is very famous. Kimchi is the first food in Korea. It is nutritious, delicious and beautiful. It is a dish that Koreans can't live without. In addition to kimchi, Koreans can't live without hot sauce, which is found in kimchi, barbecue, noodles and seafood. Lettuce and cucumber dipped in hot sauce is a dish. It can be said that one of the characteristics of Korean food is spicy. This kind of spicy food is different from that in China. China's spicy food is fragrant, salty and spicy, while Korean's is sweet and dry. I don't feel it when I eat it, but it makes people gasp when I swallow it.
There is a snack in Korea, which is similar to China's Niangao. It is cylindrical, long and cut into small pieces. Put it in a frying pan and mix with red hot sauce. It is fried and eaten. Many restaurants have this snack.
Pancakes are also famous Korean food, but they are thicker than those in China. It often contains shredded squid and the like, and it is mostly the size of a palm, so it is easy to roll up. There is also a pancake made of potato flour, which needs to be dipped in seasoning and tastes good. And China's rice is similar, there are jiaozi, mostly fried dumplings, steamed dumplings, steamed buns, but they are all sweet fillings, just like thick-skinned bean buns.
Korean cold noodles must have been heard of. There is a thin noodle in the iced sweet and sour soup with two boiled eggs and two pears or radishes on it, which is very delicious. The 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 they invite guests to dinner, that is, they marinate beef or steak with seasoning and roast it on an iron plate. Garlic, hot sauce, lettuce leaves and pickles are naturally indispensable. There are a few more seafood in the advanced class, and the meat is wrapped in lettuce leaves, which tastes very good. There is also a hot pot, similar to Japanese hot pot, which is actually a wok. Put meat slices, onions, Flammulina velutipes, etc. In the pot, add soy sauce, fry them and dip them in seasoning. It tastes a little sweet, but if you eat too much, you will be a little tired. Koreans don't like greasy food, so when the meat in the pot oozes oil, they use paper towels to suck it.
Once, a friend invited me to eat steak soup. I think it must be delicious. At first glance, 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 stewed with chicken and glutinous rice, ginseng and jujube. Until cooked, dip in salt and eat. It is said to be very nutritious. Speaking of soup
Kimchi
Kimchi (local) turkey noodles, your best choice, barbecue is not recommended (expensive, tasteless, China is everywhere).
Although Korean food is not as good as my Greater China area, there are some special foods that you can try if you travel.
1. Korean BBQ: In Korean dramas, we can always see a group of people sitting in a shed. Whether in winter or summer, having a barbecue and a pot of shochu will make the taste 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 from the choice of vegetables to seasonings, but these kimchi can only be eaten at home, because each family has its own brewing, 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 authentic in Korea. Seeing 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 very enviable, and this miso soup is not very greasy, but it tastes different.
5. Health ginseng chicken soup: Korean chicken soup is 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: Barley tea can be found everywhere in Korean restaurants. 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 the best of all brands, and even I think the fried chicken cooked in our school tastes different from that cooked in a family workshop. Brand fried chicken generally has a special flavor besides the original flavor. For example, I am deeply impressed by the honey in the school village and BBQ's with 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 its 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 buying an ultra-thin bottom, and after cutting it, I found that there was actually a layer of purple potato sandwich inside. It was really shocking. How did it happen? As for cheese, I feel that domestic pizzas usually only add cheese on the side of the pizza, but Korean pizzas are really not exaggerated, which 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 if I say I like potato soup, others will think, "Why do you like this kind of food? Ha ha ha ha ". In fact, although the name is potato soup, it is only 10% related to potatoes. Mainly ribs stewed for several hours. The ribs are really delicious. As soon as I tore it off, I put on a special seasoning (mustard and sour juice like white vinegar are available in every store). The rice is really delicious and I really want to eat it. ...
4. A chicken
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 the chicken soup into porridge for you. I really feel warm after drinking it in winter, and then I eat chicken in the same way as the ribs in the ribs soup. The taste is mainly solved by dipping. Koreans are really good at mixing this dip. I have always liked the dipping sauce in our school's former store, so much so that I can 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 bread sticks
The most common snack eaten by Koreans is 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 there is crucian stuffing in their hearts!
4. Fried snacks
Snacks often used with fried bread sticks. There are fried squid, sweet potato, vermicelli laver, jiaozi, vegetables and so on. Some people like to dip in soy sauce, while others like to eat chili pepper soup with fried cake strips.
5. Grilled and salted mutton kebabs
Chicken skewers, sausages, cakes, eggs, etc. They are all 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 laver mini rice, one bite at a time, which is very convenient to eat.
7.mini pizza
Add the kneaded flour, vegetables, ham, seasoning and cheese into the oven grinder, and the volume is only 1/4 of that of ordinary pizza. Because it is relatively small, it is very suitable for street sale.
8. cookies
After kneading the dough, add brown sugar to make it round, then fry it in oil until it is yellow, and delicious cookies are made. In the past, biscuits only contained sugar, but recently nuts such as peanuts and pine nuts were added, which tasted very sweet, as well as pizza biscuits with pizza sauce and cheese, low-calorie diet biscuits and other biscuits.
9.hot dogs
After inserting the ham sausage with disposable chopsticks, 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 the ham sausage inside!
10. Fish powder
On the streets in winter, the most attractive things are 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. You usually eat it 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 is characterized by no Chili powder. Steaming, roasting, scalding, mixing, etc. Various cooking methods are exhausted, materials are seasoned, and colors are diverse and rich. The menu and price of each restaurant are not consistent, but it will definitely include a "10% discount plate" of wheat pancakes wrapped in eight kinds of vegetarian dishes and a hot pot stewed with vegetarian dishes and fresh 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 marinated with spices and cooked on an iron plate). )。 In addition, roast beef (sliced beef marinated with seasoning and baked) is also very popular. After the meat is cooked, dip it in Korean Chili sauce or bean paste, and then wrap it with lettuce and millet leaves (you can wrap some garlic cloves), just like eating Beijing Quanjude roast duck. Usually served with 3-5 kinds of pickles or side dishes.
Cold noodles:? Korean cold noodles, like Korean food, contain little 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 region, there are cold noodles with Pyongyang flavor, and buckwheat is the main material of "noodles"; Xianxing cold noodles, starch with potatoes as the main component. The ingredients added to the cold noodles are mostly meat and vegetables, or boiled eggs, and there are also restaurants where sashimi is placed. 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 taste terrible. 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. After a barbecue, eating a bowl of cold noodles will be boring.
Bibimbap: Korean bibimbap is another feature of Korean cuisine, among which "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 them after stirring. 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 rice crust tastes better 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 salt when eating according to personal preference. Rich in nutrition, it can be called a tonic.

Chinese food: Most Chinese food is introduced to Korea by overseas Chinese in Shandong. Of course, in order to cater to the tastes of Koreans, Chinese food here has changed a lot compared with that in China. However, China's four famous dishes can still be tasted in Korea. Recently, the facilities of restaurants in China 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 the tastes of China people, and it is more expensive.
