Most traditional Korean dishes are spicy, although Chong is quick to add that customers can have their dish spicy or not since everything is cooked to order. You’ll find that garlic adds flavor to most photo by Kyle Spradley dishes, while red pepper flakes, ginger, onion John and Chong Moore are proud to offer fresh, authentic Korean dishes to their patrons at Café Korea in St. Robert. and soy sauce are favorite seasonings used in Korean dishes, too. The aroma of these ingredients floating in the air with the smell of vegetables sizzling in sesame oil will make it difficult to choose a dish. For those unfamiliar with Korean food, the menu features images of the dishes.

  • Korean Food and American Food by Yangsook
    Ahn 1 Yangsook Ahn Instructor’s Name ENGL 1013 Date Korean Food and American Food Food is a part of every country’s culture. For example, people in both Korea and America cook and serve traditional foods on their national holidays. Koreans eat ddukguk, rice cake soup, on New Year’s Day to celebrate the beginning of a new year. Americans eat turkey on Thanksgiving Day. Although observing national holidays is a similarity between their food cultures, Korean food culture differs from American food culture in terms of utensils and appliances, ingredients and cooking methods, and serving and dining manners. The first difference is in utensils and appliances. Koreans’ eating utensils are a spoon and chopsticks. Koreans mainly use chopsticks and ladles to cook side dishes and soups; also, scissors are used to cut meats and other vegetables, like kimchi. Korean food is based on rice; therefore, a rice cooker is an important appliance. Another important appliance in Korean food culture is a kimchi refrigerator. Koreans eat many fermented foods, like kimchi, soybean paste, and red chili paste. For this reason, almost every Korean household has a kimchi refrigerator, which is designed specifically to meet the storage requirements of kimchi and facilitate different fermentation processes. While Koreans use a spoon and chopsticks, Americans use a fork and a knife as main eating utensils. Americans use various cooking utensils like a spatula, tongs, spoon, whisk, peeler, and measuring cups. In addition, the main appliance for American food is an oven since American food is based on bread. A fryer, toaster, and blender are also important equipment to Ahn 2 prepare American foods.

  • The Kimchi Chronicles Television Show, but Also with This Cookbook
    This book is dedicated to my two mothers, one who gave me life and the other who helped me live it. Contents Foreword by Jean-Georges Vongerichten Introduction Pantry: My Korean-American Kitchen One: Kimchi and Banchan Two: Vegetables and Tofu Three: Korean Barbecue Four: Meat and Poultry Five: Fish and Shellfish Six: Rice and Noodles Seven: Cocktails, Anju, and Hangover Cures Eight: A Little Something Sweet Acknowledgments Resources Photo Credits Index Foreword hen I was growing up in Alsace, France, my room was just above the Wkitchen. My mother and grandmother used to prepare meals for the family’s coal company employees. Big pots of traditional Alsatian foods bubbled below, and the scent would just waft up into my room. I loved watching them cook, and eventually I became the family palate—I’d taste the food and tell my mom what was missing: a little salt here, a little butter there. One day, I realized that I wanted to cook for a living, and I was lucky enough to apprentice with some of the greatest chefs in France. I was trained in classical French techniques, which were firmly based in stocks that took hours to make and were heavy on the butter and cream. When I was 23, I moved to Bangkok to work at the Mandarin Oriental. It was the first time that I had ever traveled that far from home. On my way to the hotel from the airport, I stopped at a food stand on the side of the street and had a simple soup that changed my life.

Bridled Tigers: The Military At Korea’s Northern Border, 1800–1863 Abstract The border, in late Chosŏn rhetoric, was an area of pernicious wickedness; living near the border made the people susceptible to corruption and violence. For Chosŏn ministers in the nineteenth century, despite two hundred years of peace, the threat remained. At the same time, the military institutions created to contain it were failing. For much of the late Chosŏn the site of greatest concern was the northern border in P’yŏngan and Hamgyŏng provinces, as this area was the site of the largest rebellion and most foreign incursions in the first half of the nineteenth century. This study takes the northern border as the most fruitful area for an inquiry into the Chosŏn dynasty’s conceptions of and efforts at border defense. Using government records, reports from local officials, literati writings, and local gazetteers, this study provides a multifaceted image of the border and Chosŏn policies to control it. This study reveals that Chosŏn Korea’s concept of border defense prioritized containment over confrontation, and that their policies were successful in managing the border until the arrival of Western imperial powers whose invasions upended Chosŏn leaders’ notions of national defense.
