If you’re looking for unusual tastes and textures that are a departure from the everyday, Korean food can provide just that experience. Some of the dishes are slightly familiar, with tender, sliced beef or chicken, seafood and vegetables in various sauces, paired with rice. Vegetables combine in the sauces to add an extra punch of flavor and crunch. In the mood for something very much off the beaten path? A favorite side dish in Korea is Ojinguh Jut, which is a pickled, spicy squid that is marinated in special Korean spices. Korean barbecue is a bit closer to home, and a good place to start for those unaccustomed to cooking Korean food. A market that specializes in Korean food is a great place to find the key ingredients for these meals. Share your best Korean recipes with us here.
