Korean food is based on traditional foods and cooking
techniques of Korean people. Starting from the quaint kulineristana up special
food from these areas and blend with modern cuisine, the ingredients used and
the method of preparation is very different. There are so many Korean foods are
worldwide. The food is described here is very different from the food served in
culinary palace, which until now has also enjoyed most of the Korean society.
Korean cuisine is largely based on rice, noodles, tofu,
vegetables and meat. Traditional Korean food is famous for a large number of
side dishes (side) called banchan eaten with white rice and soup (broth). Each
meal comes with a fair amount of banchan.
Korean food is usually seasoned with sesame oil, Doenjang,
soy sauce, salt, garlic, ginger and chili sauce (gochujang). Korean society is
consuming garlic on top of the world's largest Chinese, Thai, Japanese, and
Mediterranean countries such as Spain, Italy and Greece.
Korean food differ seasonally. During the winter, usually
traditional food consumed is kimchi and other pickled vegetables in a large
barrel that is stored under the ground outside the house. Before making Korean
cuisine usually in dire need of cooperation.
Setting the Tables
Koreans usually eat while sitting on pillows (without seats)
on a low table with a crossed leg position .
The food is eaten with chopsticks of stainless steel
(jeotgarak) and the long spoon (sutgarak); sets of chopsticks and a spoon is
called sujeo (combined sutgarak and jeotgarak), but it can also be interpreted
as sujeo spoon. Unlike the other chopstick users, Koreans have used spoons
since the 5th century AD.
Rice for individuals is provided in a small bowl higher than
its diameter. Warm soup bowls provided in larger and wide (on the right rice),
often jjigae or other foods eaten with soupy kind of a big pot in the middle of
the table. Set the length stainless steel spoon for rice and soup, and
chopsticks for banchan (to the right of the soup).
Banchan side dishes that vary provided in small bowls.
Depending on each household, drinks can be provided or not provided. Water ice
is usually provided when dining with friends. In the general environment (eg
restaurants), provided water or traditional ("tea" grains like barley
tea, while regular tea while eating less preferred because it does not fit with
rice or spicy banchan). Another common drink at meals is soju. After the meal,
refreshments provided soojunggwa or shikhye example. Drinks are served vary by
season of the year.
Traditional Dining Etiquette
Parents, are respected, and guests should be treated with
respect and have the right to eat the food first. Disrespectful behavior at
mealtime:
• Exhale from nose to the table,
• Prior to eat before the oldest,
• Establishing chopsticks or spoon it up, because it
symbolizes the incense burned at funerals,
• Plugging food with chopsticks and take out food by hand
(no food should be taken with a finger, but the banchan are not allowed),
• Using chopsticks and spoons at the same time (only allowed
with one hand),
• Using chopsticks or a spoon with his left hand,
• Make noise when chewing food or hit the bowl with cutlery,
• Rifling rice or soup with a spoon / chopsticks,
• Rifling side dishes with a spoon / chopsticks,
• Finish eating too fast or too slow,
• Drinking facing parents (It's very disrespectful, one must
rotate the other direction / next)
• Accepting a drink from his parents and was honored with
both hands, the left hand should be put into the chest and the right hand
holding the drink / cup when poured drinks.
• In informal situations, these rules less important. In the
event a family meal, children are taught by their parents about how and
traditional dining etiquette.
• Talking while chewing food is okay, as long as the mouth
is not opened. It is not polite at dinner talking with his mouth open. However,
when it comes time to eat, the Koreans used to answer by simply nodding his
head or say "mm" as the word "yes" and does not open his
mouth. Eating / sipping soup with a hissing sound is highly recommended. Korean
people are going to comment on a very silent at meals (if he does not speak),
so he was not kept pace eat food if he stopped eating to talk.
Another rule to remember is that older people are respected
or not necessarily have to follow a plan-that way, but others required. This is
because the most important thing in the meal was polite and show respect to
those who are above us. This does not apply when dining alone or with friends.
