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.
