Korean

Korean Food is definitely a favorite cuisine, though to be fair, there are a lot of favorite cuisines!

Part of what distinguishes a cuisine from other cuisines are the ingredients used and ingredients and the cooking techniques used to prepare them. For plant-based cooking, the important ingredients used in Korean cooking would include

• Rice
• A variety of noodles
• Tofu
• Soy sauce
• Gochukaru, chili pepper powder
• Doenjang, a fermented soybean paste
• Garlic
• Ginger
• Green onions
• Rice
• Rice wine
• Sesame seed oil
• Roasted sesame seeds
• Dried seaweed sheets

I should probably mark this category as Korean-inspired recipes since they are often an interpretation of Korean food through a variety of lenses.
