There are so many delicious regional dishes across Korea, each one a tribute to the bounty of the surrounding land and sea. From spicy noodles and rib-sticking stews to savory pork belly and plenty of banchan, you'll find plates (and bowls) filled with rice, vegetables, seafood, and all things fermented.
You needn't associate Korean food with just stir-fry or sweet-and-sour. There are also spicy dishes that will meet and delight your palate. You don't need to travel to a restaurant to get your hands on a bowl of Korean food. Typically, a meal may consist of a bowl of rice and a stew or stir fry on the top; this book offers a range of recipes to get you started on your Korean trip.
