1. A Korean style table setting A magnificent feast, appealing to the eyes and the mouth Korean meals vary according to the time of day and the type of gathering they are prepared for. A typical meal normally includes rice and soup, with several side dishes. Special dishes are prepared for particular occasions, including celebration of birthdays, weddings, or religious services. Steamed short ribs, beef and vegetable casserole, pan-fried vegetables, meat and seafood, and rice cakes are just some of the dishes that are prepared for these special occasions. Another specialty in Korea is meat dishes accompanying alcoholic beverages. Dishes such as steamed meat, fish with pan-fried mushrooms, and pumpkins come together to complement the drinks. For the finale, a refreshment table is set, consisting of tea and traditional Korean cookies, along with fresh fruits.2. Dining Etiquette in KoreaIn Korea, you should not pick up your spoon before elders do.

* Nutrition facts:Kimchi is low in calories and fat content but is high in fiber, vitamin A, ascorbic acid, calcium, phosphorus, iron and has a large amount of other minerals. It used to be the major source of vegetables consumed by Koreans during the winter when no fresh vegetables were available. The nutrient contents of kimchi vary according to the ingredients used, microorganisms and the condition of fermentation. The amount of organic acid, free amino acids and vitamins show the highest value when kimchi is well-fermented and its flavor is good. The main ingredients of kimchi have few calories, high water content, high fiber content, and various vitamins. Red chili pepper is a good source of vitamin A and C for Koreans. Garlic has a sterilization effect and contains a large amount of allyl sulfide. Spring onions, especially the green part, are a good source of vitamins A and C, too. The bitter taste of cucumbers contains ellaterin, and this aids digestion. Potassium in cucumbers

Christmas in KoreaOriginally published in the December 2010 issue of Seoul Magazine. Reprinted with permission  Streetwise in SeoulBy Daniel GrayThe concept of what Christmas is in Korea might seem a bit askew. The East has only seen the commercialized, exported version of Christmas because of the pervasive western media and marketing. Come on, the idea of a jolly, fat, bearded weigukin (foreigner) entering houses via chimney to drop off presents made by north pole elves might scare a nation that has had a long history of brutal invasions.Oh, and most Korean homes don't even have chimneys- they have ondols (floor heating)-so imagining a big fat guy seeping through the floor might harken images of the horror movie the "Blob" rather than the idea of "Peace on Earth."Even the concept of toys and luxuries as gifts seems alien when typical housewarming gifts are still toilet paper, rice, and washing detergent. Furthermore, Korea children get "gifts" as rewards for getting a high score

I am always on the lookout for new cafes and new places to take guests to in Korea. I was lucky enough to stumble upon 뜰안 (Inner Garden) near my office. It's got a great sense of traditional style and the tea is pretty good. I really like the little garden they have and their hanok styling. My only complaint is that they try a bit too hard to copy my other favorite tea house: the second best tea house in Seoul over in Samcheongdong. 뜰안 (Inner Garden)02-745 7420www.cafeaeran.comGo out Anguk Station Exit 4 and go straight. Make a left at Nakgwon Market (낙원상가) and make a right after Crown Hotel.

Day 392:I woke up feeling like it was gonna be a good day. For it is payday and my day off. So like most days off, it started off with a visit to the gym and a nearby ramen shop. Nejishiki (ねじ式) in Hatagaya, just steps from Hototogisu, is a new shop barely even two months old.The shop is run by Kenji Ota, but when it gets crazy he calls upon his army of little masked men.There are 3 options: Ramen, Tsukemen, and a junk-style Mazesoba (hear that Brian). And with toppings like garlic butter or cheese mayo, things can get very interesting. I decided to keep it simple and opted for the 特Ramen.Woah! Heavily marinated ground pork.The noodles are fat and take long to cook, but it's worth the wait.If I had to describe it, I'd say it's like a high-class-Jiro-kei-geared-for-the-country-clubs ramen. おしゃれでしょう？Yup.So I had this idea of putting all the ramen shops I've slurped at during year one into a photo book. Would you buy a copy? I originally wanted to have it finished by christmas, but we'll

Vegetable Steamed Bread from JSP in Jongno 3-ga Jongno is great for streetfood and in winter there is nothing better. My favorite snacks are the veggie steamed bread from JSP. They come out of the steamer hot and they put it in a plastic bag. What I like to do is to keep the bread in the bag and hold the bread in my bare hands- the hot bun works better than those hand heater things(and they are environmentally friendly). The other things that JSP have are steamed bread with red bean and pork or kimchi dumplings.Directions: Jongno 5-ga exit five (subways 3 or 5)Vegetable Steamed Bread from JSP in Jongno 3-ga Vegetable Steamed Bread from JSP in Jongno 3-ga Vegetable Steamed Bread from JSP in Jongno 3-ga

I am on a journalist tour in Chuncheon and here we are playing Baskin Robbins 31 drinking game. You go around in a circle calling out numbers and if you are caught with the number 31, you have to drink. The person leading the charge is Norman, a university student in Chuncheon. I love the drinking song he has at the end. It translates to "Drink, Drink, Flowing so Smoothly inside me, Flowing so smoothly inside me." You can see more of my food and fun videos on my youtube Channel: Delawheresdan Come take a cooking class or take a Culinary Tour in Seoul! http://www.ongofood.com

Korean Raw Beef or Yukhwae (육회)is amazing. The meat is not aged, so it has a fresh taste to it and it is often mixed with slivers of Asian white pear. The juices of the pear help to tenderize the meat and add flavor. The meat is topped with a fresh egg yolk and this is mixed in before eating. The creaminess of the yolk adds to the freshness of the beef. The meat can be dipped in a roasted sesame sauce and salt mixture or with red chili paste and with raw garlic. It is a taste experience like no other and I recommend you try it. The best place to get it is at the Yukhwae Alley in Kwangjang Market. Korean Raw Beef topped with Egg Yolk Korean Raw Beef topped with Egg Yolk

I can't live without rice, but I've been living without a rice cooker for the past couple of months. I was making rice on the stove almost everyday, but it's a relief to have the 'keep warm' function again on my new rice cooker. Here are five fabulous Korean rice dishes that are deceptively delicious and easy to master for anyone.

Last weekend, hubby and I went to Gochang to see the Gochang Barley Plantation. It is included in our plan to have jang-o gui or roasted eels for lunch because roasted eels are famous in Gochang. Here are the eels. As you know, koreans always serve different kinds of side dishes when they have meal. Not only in the restaurant but also at home. So here's what they serve in the restaurant.They also served the eel bones. I tried one. It tastes like eels but they too hard and crispy.This is how to eat jang-o. It's up to you whatever you want to put in your vegetable with the eel. I put ginger, garlic, pickled onion, samjang (beanpaste) on sesame leaves and lettuce.

Oh yes! I made fried rice for my hubby. It's not easy to make fried rice specially when you want it to be special. My hubby was sleeping while I was making this fried rice. I know it doesn't look good and yummy but it is made with love. I spent long time making it. I put lots of garlic and half onion, pork, and eggs. When I served it to my hubby he asked what it was. I said it was my special fried rice. He just smiled. hehe...

It's a special holiday today so we didn't have work. It's Election Day in Korea so we went out and cast our votes. After voting, we decided to go to Outback. Yes, there's also outback here in Korea. I didn't bring my camera with me but we have some leftover so we asked the waiter to pack it for us and brought it home. We ordered ribs and white sauce spaghetti. We brought the ribs and they gave us 3 more breads and butter. That's what I like the most in Outback when you have leftover. They always give you extra bread and butter when you asked them to pack something. There are only two breads in the picture because I gave one to the grandmother that we saw in the street. We were heading home and the car stopped at the stop light. Then we saw halmoni (grandmother) pushing a cart with lots of cartons and boxes. Was also waiting for us to leave because we were blocking her way to cross the street. I gave her the bread and said thank you. She said said that she was really hungry.
