Cooking South Korea

 Gastronomy

Korean food is copious, rustic, not very calorific, sometimes spicy... and rather monotonous. There is excellent grilled meat there (galbi and bulgogi), varied assortments of marinated vegetables served with each meal, a lot of fish, various soups, and variations based on noodles. The unavoidable food in any Korean meal, apart from rice, of course, is Gimchi, a preparation of cabbage, conserved in brine, and very spicy. It is delicious, but rather strong for western palates. Apart from Japanese, Chinese and Italian cuisine, international cooking is increasingly available in large Korean cities.
