Korean cuisine - 103 cooking recipes

Korea is partially closed to foreign tourists; it is not surprising that some myths have formed regarding the food traditions of this people. What is true and what is fiction?

Korean cuisine

1) The favorite dish of domestic gourmets, “Korean carrots,” has nothing to do with the culinary traditions of this country. This snack was invented by immigrants deported to Central Asia out of desperation - in order to somehow replace the salads familiar to them in their homeland. The basis of the Korean menu is rice along with pickled vegetables or seafood. 2) Shocking facts about eating dogs are more of a “bubble blowing” thing. Yes, dog meat is really consumed, but not as often as they say. And it’s not mongrels that are caught on the street, but special “edible” breeds that are raised in nurseries. By the way, in other Asian countries they also prepare not such “delicacies” - from cats, rats, animal fetuses... And they live long and healthy. In general, Korean food is unusually spicy - all dishes are generously flavored with red pepper, which even changes the color of the food. This is done for safety reasons to prevent the development of intestinal infections in hot climates. However, if you master Korean cuisine recipes at home, nothing will stop you from adding spices at your discretion.
