I want all the information, names, origins and videos about Korean food.

Paleolithic people usually picked wild fruits and hunted animals and fish as food. Since the Neolithic Age, people have been engaged in farming, growing grains and making pottery to store food. In the Bronze Age, people began to grow more crops: rice and beans were planted and cultivated. In the subsequent iron age, due to the use of iron, crop production increased by leaps and bounds. During the Three Kingdoms period, as Koguryo people liked to eat meat, Baekje people and Silla people developed wine-making and sauce-making techniques.

Koreans, like Japanese, are used to sitting on the floor and eating cross-legged. Its traditional diet is relatively simple, the staple food is rice, and it likes to eat kimchi. The export volume of kimchi is said to be the highest in the world. I think it can win the championship because every meal has its own table, and many tricks can be put on exquisite dishes: cabbage, radish, pepper and what we call unknown ones, which are both appetizing and delicious. There are obviously more vegetarian dishes on their table than ours, because they are close to the sea and there are many vegetarian seafood. Another "multi" is sauce products. The influence of "Jianggang culture" in our place has probably reached the point where "shine on you is better than blue". They have a special sauce for mixing vegetables and rice. I tasted it and it was delicious. The above "three excesses" may constitute a reasonable factor that its diet is low in sugar and fat and meets the nutritional requirements. We have noticed that there are not many obese people in Korea. Generally, middle-aged and elderly people can keep fit and look healthy. Is this related to good eating habits?

In the Koryo era, influenced by Buddhism, meat declined because killing was forbidden. Moreover, the temple can only make wine cakes, noodles, salt and tea. In the late Koryo period, Mongolian troops invaded, and signs of meat followed. Beef offal soup, sausage and tauren cuisine spread gradually. Soju also spread widely from the areas where they were stationed. In this way, the alternate consumption of meat and vegetables in this period has evolved into today's diet.

The economy and science of Korean food can also be proved by a kind of "miniature paper cup" specially used for water dispensers. It is a small piece of paper with only the length of the middle finger and the width of two fingers. After special treatment, it becomes a very small cup when you put it on the tap to receive water. Compared with transparent plastic cups and ordinary paper cups, it has its own small and simple advantages, which are often seen in Korean streets and fast food restaurants.

Perhaps the most famous Korean food is barbecue. Teppanyaki is not only used for cooking, but also for fried noodles. The most interesting thing is a kind of "stone barbecue": a pile of pebbles are heated on an iron frame, the meat pieces are paved first, and when the temperature is fixed, the large pieces of meat are twisted into small pieces with long scissors, and then put into a rolling stone, which will creak and smell in a short time. According to reports, pebbles are imported, since they can store heat and even temperature, so that meat will not be burnt, and oil can be removed to taste.

The climate in Korea is similar to the ocean, but it is not simple. This unique climate forms Korea's unique human geography, and of course it also has its own unique and delicious traditional cuisine. The following are four traditional representative foods with several characteristics in Korea.

Flower muffin: good color and fragrance

The name "muffin" comes from laying a layer of pine needles on the steamer to prevent the cake from sticking to the drawer. Flower muffins are flowers and birds dyed with natural colors such as seeds, carrots and pumpkins. That is to say, flowers, leaves, birds, etc. are all made of colored rice flour and pasted on the cake, so that the cake has light rosin, colorful, fragrant and beautiful.

During the Korean period, there were many kinds of food called "various muffins" at court banquets. In addition to ordinary muffins filled with beans, dates and chestnuts, there are also "filled muffins" filled with cress, mushrooms, crushed stones, chicken and other meat and vegetables.

Taro soup: a must-have food for Mid-Autumn Festival

If Mid-Autumn Festival food is different from ancestor worship food and other seasonal foods in the Spring Festival, the most representative one is taro soup. Because taro soup is harvested around the Mid-Autumn Festival, it can only be tasted in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Mid-Autumn Festival is rich in food and easy to overeat, but as long as you eat taro soup, you won't delay eating or have diarrhea. Taro is an alkaline food, rich in cellulose, which not only helps digestion, but also promotes gastrointestinal movement and prevents constipation.

Pattern string: multi-material "colorful coat"

In the colorful Mid-Autumn Festival cuisine, the first thing to bear the brunt is the string of patterns. It is a barbecue skewer made of cucumber, carrot, platycodon grandiflorum, mushroom and egg. Putting it around the disc is as gorgeous as a colorful ball, so it is often used as food for the Mid-Autumn Festival. The meat and vegetables in the flower skewers are evenly used and the nutrition is not biased. Put red clams and mullet in the center of the plate to make the nutrition more coordinated.

Stewed beef tendon: the best meat dish

Meat dishes are indispensable for holiday food, and the strongest meat dish in autumn show is stewed beef tendon. Stewed beef tendon is a nutritious food. In autumn, new chestnuts and delicious mushrooms are added, and beef water, ginkgo biloba, fried eggs and celery stalks are added to make it colorful and delicious.

In fact, Korean traditional food is far more than that, as well as the indispensable food for Koreans to celebrate the New Year, rice cake soup, and college entrance examination candidates must also eat high school. Every country and every nation has its own long history and its own traditional cuisine. It also has its own popular culture, so it also has its own popular food. Next, I will introduce the popular food in Korea.

Popular food in Korea

Korean diet is mainly light, which is one of the characteristics of Korean diet. Nowadays, people are increasingly pursuing health and health preservation, which makes more and more people pay attention to Korean diet. Speaking of Korean popular diet, everyone knows that kimchi is the first food in Korea. Rich in nutrition, delicious and elegant, it is a dish that Koreans can't live without. So what is inseparable from kimchi is hot sauce. Kimchi, barbecue, noodles and seafood all have hot sauce. 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, there is beef soup made of beef bones, which is delicious.

Food is the most important thing for people, and everyone can't live without food. But if you enjoy food, taste and vision at the same time, it can be said to be a great beauty on earth. I think Korean tableware can really be called a beautiful scenery. It is said that Korean restaurants are influenced by the lifestyle of ancient palaces and pay more attention to form and tableware. What impressed me most were stainless steel chopsticks and small bowls with lids. In China, chopsticks are shorter than wooden chopsticks. They are heavy in your hands, engraved with exquisite patterns of various colors. When I first saw these things, I thought those small stainless steel bowls with lids were hand stoves. It took me a long time to find rice in them. Perhaps because there are too many pickles, there are many kinds of containers for kimchi, such as square, round, multi-layer, single-layer, plastic and ceramic ... What surprises me most is that they often use scissors when eating. This pair of scissors cuts long noodles when eating cold noodles, pickles when eating pickles and barbecues when eating barbecues. In short, it plays a very important role in dining.

Koreans also have a lot of etiquette when eating, which is also a traditional virtue handed down by the Korean people. In Korean restaurants, people usually take off their shoes and eat cross-legged on the kang. The room is small and the table is short. If there are many people at the banquet, the walls of these small rooms can be pulled up like shutters, and the required space can be changed and adjusted at any time, which is very convenient. Guests usually sit on both sides of a square table, and the table can be spelled as long as the room is long, which reminds me of the scene where kindergarten children sit in rows and share fruit. As we all know, another thing closely related to eating is drinking. Drinking in Korea is also very polite. When they propose a toast to others, they hold their glasses, hand them to each other, pour half a glass of wine, and the toasted person turns around, turns his back, looks up and drinks, and then retaliates. It's really interesting to give people the back of their heads when drinking. If you really want to feel the food culture and characteristics of Korea, traveling to Korea in person should be the best way. In the future, you must go to Korea to experience its long history and cultural customs for yourself.
