This was my first experience of Korean food and I have to say it was phenomenal. And your knowledge of Korean food is impressive! But you live in Korea right? So I'm not suprised :)<br /><br />Just clicked on your blog and saw the beautiful pictures of food that you've taken...your photos are absolutely gorgeous. Those grilled wheat gluten stick thingies look like heaven! <br /><br />Well, thanks for your help and nice to meet you! :)Gitanjalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115204453951054856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239472034464863697.post-89372063628199418652011-04-04T14:14:39.225+02:002011-04-04T14:14:39.225+02:00I can help with names!
If you had a strong, trans...I can help with names!<br /><br />If you had a strong, transparent rice liquor, it was probably soju. If you had a milky, white rice cider served in a bowl, it was makkeolli. I've never heard that either make you live long - just that they make you drunk!<br /><br />The pancakes are called pajeon or kimchijeon. Raviolis are called mandu. The fritter is probably a 'jeon' of some kind too - most battered and fried dishes are called ~jeon.<br /><br />As for your meat sauce: Korean cuisine revolves around a small number of condiments, among which gochujang (fermented red chili pepper paste) and doengjang (fermented soybean paste, which tastes meatier and spicier than japanese miso). Garlic, soy sauce and rice vinegar usually taste more familiar to us.<br /><br />By the way, we've never actually met in person, but I'm your cousin-in-law (or something) that lives in Seoul.
