      Korean Cookbook - Jiu Chung

      Introduction

      The past decade has been a boon for lovers of international food, and Korean food, in particular, has benefitted from the explosion of interest in various Asian cuisines.  Many so-called foodies are aware of the ubiquitous Korean taco, food truck-style, and kimchi, perhaps Korea’s most famous food export, regularly appears on restaurant menus and grocery store shelves alike. 

      What many people may not know is that traditional Korean cooking is both easy and satisfying to prepare at home.  With its warming spices and chili pastes, its generous use of garlic and fermented foods, and its welcoming traditions of many shared dishes, Korean cuisine is a justifiably renowned family friendly style of eating.  While Korean food shares some elements with Japanese and Chinese cooking, its bold flavors, unique ingredients, and special traditions make it stand out in a crowded field of superb Asian flavors.

      With this book, you can explore the concepts and philosophy behind the ways in which traditional Korean cooking employs its various ingredients and techniques.  The idea of yin and yang—that is, balance—is very important to a Korean meal, as well as an emphasis on the five basic elements of taste: salty, sweet, sour, spicy, and bitter.  In addition, the book contains explanations of basic Korean pantry staples and kitchen tools and how to use them, followed by a variety of recipes to get you started in exploring the wonderful flavors of this increasingly popular cuisine.  Mashikeh-mogoseyo!  Bon appetit, the Korean way!

      Introduction to Korean Cuisine

      Note on transliterations: Korean identifiers for items and dishes are used throughout the book with English explanation.  This cookbook adheres to the Revised Romanization transliteration (though spellings can sometimes vary: gochugaru, for example, is sometimes rendered kochukaru).

      Location: Where Korean Cooking Comes From

      Warm and sustaining may be the best two words to describe the experience of eating a Korean meal.  As with many great world cuisines, what Koreans typically eat is the result of geography and climate: the Korean peninsula has a climate that is similar to the North Central part of the United States, which means that there are cold winters, warm, occasionally hot summers, and extended cool autumns.  This allows for a growing season wherein many varieties of vegetables and grains can be cultivated.

      The very cold winters also create the need for preservation.  Before the 20th century, Korea was mainly a rural, agriculturally based society wherein foraging and farming were central to survival for most families.  Hence the need to preserve the harvest throughout the winter, often in large earthenware pots buried in the ground.

      This is how something like the fermented cabbage dish kimchi, perhaps the most recognizable Korean product in the United States today, comes into the story.  While kimchi is readily available in Asian markets and becoming more available in general grocery stores, it is surprisingly easy to make at home with excellent results.  And kimchi is merely one of a whole host of preserved, pickled, or fermented foods that play a crucial role in the distinctive taste of Korean cuisine.  What once began as necessity has, with time, become a treasured tradition and an indispensable ingredient in Korean cooking.  It would be virtually unthinkable to conceive of a Korean cuisine without kimchi and its siblings.  See Chapter 6 for a basic kimchi recipe, as well as some other varieties of common Korean style pickles.

      The agricultural traditions of Korea also give rise to the creation of hearty, robust food, food that will sustain a farmer through a long day of work in the fields or the barns and guard against the elements.  Warm spices and hot chilis are ubiquitous in Korean cooking, and hearty meals include not only a main dish and rice but also numerous small plates of various foods meant to be shared (collectively called banchan). 

      See Chapter 5 for further descriptions of and recipes for typical banchan.

      Korean geography also plays a key role in the development of traditional cuisine.  As it is mostly surrounded by bodies of water—the Yellow Sea to the east and the Sea of Japan to the west—seafood of various kinds feature significantly in Korean food, including fish (different to each coast), shellfish, and seaweeds.  Here, yet again, the tradition of preservation plays an important role in the flavors of Korean food, as many types of seafood are dried or fermented for prolonged storage.  And, as with kimchi, what was once the necessity of preservation has evolved into a beloved category of foodstuffs without which Korean food would not seem quite right.  Dried sardines are served at nearly every meal, usually as a condiment to add a flavor punch of salt and funk.  Dried cuttlefish is an immensely popular snack in Korea, found even in vending machines.

      As you will see, the cuisine of Korea is undoubtedly unique, with its emphasis on bold flavors, hot chilis, and many styles of kimchi, with long-held traditions of sharing and respect around the table.

      Yin and Yang: A Philosophy of Balance

      The concept of yin and yang is familiar to almost anyone with a passing knowledge of Asian cultures.  While many might immediately associate this concept with Chinese society, it is deeply ingrained within Korean culture, as well, and guides the principles of how to create a traditional Korean dish and meal. 

      Yin is associated with cooling, fresh foods, such as green vegetables and light dairy products (milk, yogurt, light cheeses).  Yang is associated with warming, spicy foods, such as meat, chilis, and heavier dairy products.  Yin food refreshes and relaxes the body, while yang food invigorates and makes the body strong.  There are also neutral foods, as well, used to bring the yin and yang into balance.  These foods provide stability and are relatively mild in taste, such as cereal grains and rice.
