Food Cult. 31(6): 554-572, 2016 ISSN 2288-7148(Online) 본 논문의 저작권은 한국식생활문화학회에 있음 . http://dx.doi.org/10.7318/KJFC/2016.31.6.554 Copyright © The Korean Society of Food Culture 국립중앙도서관 소장의 「Jusikbangmun (주식방문)」을 통해 본 조선 후기 음식에 대한 고찰 최 영 진* 가톨릭관동대학교 가정교육과 Study on Foods of 「Jusikbangmun」 from National Central Library Possession in the late Period of Joseon Dynasty Young-Jin Choi* Department of Home Economics, Catholic Kwandong University Abstract This study is a comparative study on a cookbook published in 1900s titled 「Jusikbangmun」, one of collections of the National Central Library, along with other cookery books in Joseon Dynasty in the late 1800s to early 1900s. 「Jusikbangmun」consists of 51 recipes, including 45 kinds of staple foods and six kinds of brews. More than 60% of the recipes deal with staple dishes and side-dishes, whereas the rest deal with ceremonial dishes and drinking. The 「Jusikbangmun」 applies a composite method of cooking from boiling and steaming to seasoning with oil spices. The ingredients are largely meats rather than vegetables, which is distinguished other cookery books in the Joseon Dynasty. Only 「Jusikbangmun」deals with such peculiar recipes as ‘Kanmagitang’, ‘Bookyengsumyentang’, ‘Jeryukpyen’, ‘Yangsopyen’, and ‘Dalgihye’. It is estimated that 「Jusikbangmun」 was published around the 1900s based on findings that 「Jusikbangmun」 is more similar with 「Buinpilgi」 and 「Joseonyorijebeop」 in the early 1900s than with 「Kyuhapchongseo」, 「Siyijenseo」and「Jusiksieui」in 1800s. Therefore,「Jusikbangmun」is a valuable resource, we can use understand the food culture of the late Joseon period.

  • Korean Traditional Food: Status, Prospects and Vision for Globalization
    KOREAN TRADITIONAL FOOD: STATUS, PROSPECTS AND VISION FOR GLOBALIZATION Dong-Hwa Shin Faculty of Biotechnology Chonbuk National University 664-14 Dukjin-Dong, Jeonju 561-756 Korea ABSTRACT This Bulletin describes the unique properties and diversity of Korean traditional food, as well as some prospects and directions for its future development as an industry. Traditional foods are prepared with the use of ingredients unique to a particular area and people. They are considered as historic food, and are transferred from generation to generation with some local variations. Korean traditional food can be classified based on the ingredients used: rice products as staple food, beverages, vegetables, fish, and fruits. Traditional foods using meat are very limited. Other classifications are based on production methods, such as steamed foods (almost all of the grain products), puffed foods, brined foods, and fermented foods. Traditional foods are used more as seasonal and banquet food or for religious ceremonies rather than as staple food, but it has become popular as a delicacy food in recent years. Korean traditional foods have not been given enough attention for a long time, but recent domestic consumption has gradually increased in view of people’s recognition and consciousness of such products as health foods. The food culture of Korea has also caught the interest of other countries through the export of traditional food. Traditional food has been developed on the basis of unique techniques from each country, and efforts to export them are now expanding. Hence, it is now considered a competitive product, what with its unique materials and production techniques.

    Text excerpted from MAANGCHI’S REAL KOREAN COOKING, © 2015 by Maangchi. Photos © Maangchi. Reproduced by permission of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. All rights reserved. Korean Fried Chicken (Yangnyeom-tongdak) Serves 10 to 12 as an appetizer, 4 as a main course When I started posting recipes on YouTube, one of the most requested recipes was for KFC, otherwise known as Korean Fried Chicken. Coated with a sweet, sour, spicy sauce, yangnyeom-tongdak is a relatively modern dish in Korea: it’s take-out food, rarely made at home, so my readers had to wait while I perfected my recipe, which is based on what I saw being made in local fried chicken joints in Gwangju. When refining the recipe, at first I tried not to use corn syrup or ketchup, replacing them with more wholesome, less sugary ingredients, but I was never satisfied with the result. To get the authentic taste, corn or rice syrup and ketchup are essential. Something else is also necessary: frying the chicken twice. Double-frying makes the batter-coated chicken stay crunchy for hours after cooking, while leaving the inside moist. When I made the chicken for my children and they said, “Mom, this tastes exactly like the chicken place!” I knew that the recipe was finally just right. You can use a whole chicken; use a cleaver to cut the breast, thighs, and legs into smaller pieces. for the chicken 2 pounds chicken wings or chunks of chicken, rinsed in cold water and patted dry, tips removed, drumettes and flats separated 1/2 cup potato starch or cornstarch 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 large egg, lightly beaten Corn oil for deep-frying for the sauce 2 teaspoons corn oil 3 garlic cloves, minced 1/3 cup ketchup 1/3 cup brown rice syrup (ssal-yeot), corn syrup, or sugar 1/4 cup Korean hot pepper paste (gochujang) 2 teaspoons distilled white or apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds 1.

  • Seoullo 7017
    REPORT Turning an Overpass into a Forest: Seoullo 7017 The pedestrianised Seoullo 7017 is most stunning at night. Source: Centre for Liveable Cities Seoul, winner of the prestigious 2018 Lee Kuan Yew World Cities Prize, has turned its highways and main roads into public spaces for people. What brought the city from car-centric to car-lite? The preservation and regeneration of Seoul Station Overpass, renamed Seoullo 7017 after its transformation from an ugly monster that ruined the urban landscape into a pedestrian street “Sky Park”, offers insights on the city’s vision for the future. The Traffic Monster of Seoul Opened in 1970, the Seoul Station Overpass was a 938m two-lane, two-way road that connected Incheon, Yeoido, the western region and the eastern region. At its peak, the Overpass played a major role in traffic movement—as the east-west region of the city is disconnected by the railroads—and the average number of vehicles on it per day in 2015 was about 45,000. 1 Seoul Station Overpass in the 1970s. Source: Seoul Metropolitan Government. http://www.ss7017.org/ Seoul Station Overpass before its closing in 2015 Source: Seoul Metropolitan Government. http://www.ss7017.org/ Once a symbol of modernisation and a solution to traffic problems in the city, the Overpass came to be regarded in the 1990s as an ugly monster that ruined the urban landscape as did other overpasses. From a political and cultural aspect, the Overpass was historic to Seoul, being a spot for assembly during the series of pro-democracy movements in the 1980s, including the Seoul Station Assembly in 1980 and the June Democracy Movement in 1987.

    2. Современные тенденции и проблемы развития… Actual trends and problems of development… 1Kim Na-yeon, Koo Young-Min [email protected] IU, Incheon, Republic of Korea A DESIGN PROPOSAL FOR URBAN HORTICULTURAL GARDEN ESTABLISHING AN ECOLOGICAL LINK FOCUSED ON A CREATION OF THE SENSE OF PLACE THROUGH LINKING SEOULLO 7017 WITH NAMSAN Abstract. Posing problems on Seoullo 7017 public parks, the study attempts to criticize not only that the ‘hanging garden’ is just a fragmentary urban artifact without any means of sup- plementation to mark the beginning and the end, but also that there is no story-telling that can complete the context with the elevated bridge. Putting the case that the Seoullo is a geographical branch outgrowth from the Nam-San, we attempt to extend a glass wall supposed to be a fragment of urban elevation to the Namdaemun, to make the glass box meet the terminal point of the bridge, and to have the Seoullo 7017 have reason for being. A horticultural garden is proposed as a pro- gram, which also celebrates the disappeared Nam San Botanical garden and which motivates the pedestrians to move up to the Nam San. Keywords: Seoullo7017, horticulture garden, Nam-san mountain, regeneration. 1. Introduction 1.1 Background and Purpose of project Seoullo 7017 is a urban renewal project to recycle the elevated highway over- passing the Seoul Railway Station used for logistics that links the Seogye-dong area of Yongsan-gu with the Namdaemun market, into a so-called "urban corridor". A paradigm shift from trading to a place of wandering, has made the overpass itself degraded into a no man’s land drifting in the air.

  • Historical Gyeongbokgung Palace Insa-Dong
    HALF DAY TOURS OPTION #3: Historical Gyeongbokgung Palace Built in 1395, Gyeongbokgung Palace is also commonly referred to as the Northern Palace because its location is furthest north when compared to the neighboring palaces of Changdeokgung (Eastern Palace) and Gyeonghuigung (Western Palace) Palace. Gyeongbokgung Palace is arguably the most beautiful, and remains the largest of all five palaces. The premises were once destroyed by fire during the Imjin War (Japanese Invasions, 1592-1598). However, all of the palace buildings were later restored under the leadership of Heungseondaewongun during the reign of King Gojong (1852-1919). Remarkably, the most representative edifices of the Joseon Dynasty, Gyeonghoeru Pavilion and Hyangwonjeong Pond have remained relatively intact. Woldae and the sculptures of Geunjeongjeon (The Royal Audience Chamber) represent past sculptures of contemporary art. The National Palace Museum of Korea is located south of Heungnyemun Gate, and the National Folk Museum is located on the eastern side within Hyangwonjeong. Insa-dong Insa-dong, located in the heart of the city, is an important place where old but precious and traditional goods are on display. There is one main road in Insa-dong with alleys on each side. Within these alleys are galleries and traditional restaurants, teahouses, and cafes. The galleries are the heartbeat of Insa-dong. There are about 100 galleries in the area and you can see every example of traditional Korean fine art from paintings to sculptures.
