Although I haven't tasted korean food yet, just by looking at the images, I really want to eat it.
There are a lot of korean dishes, each one with its different tasty characteristics. Spices are the basis of korean dishes, spices and sauces give them their quality and taste, they are very important ingredients. Noodles are indeed eaten by almost every korean, they are easy to make and are served with nutritious vegetables. Different dishes are served in different occasions, for example, long noodles are served in weddings and birthdays since they represent a long life and good health, and they are usually not cut.
Korean dishes are served with a lot of side dishes, including the famous rice. Koreans eat a lot of rice, and it is usually cooked alone, it can also be with vegetables or grains, and they use a spoon to eat it. Since they are used to eating a lot of rice, it doesnt really affect their shape much, they combine rice with the dishes served.
This video is from a canadian couple living in Korea and their expirience with rice and carbs (they are really funny) :
Another side dish that is eaten a lot is kimchi, it is very healthy, it is made with vegetables, ginger, garlic, salt, chilli pepers and fish. There are a lot of different kimchi recipes, this depending on the season or region in which you are. Kimchi is served with almost every meal. It has different flavors, depending on the vegetables and lenght of fermentation, making each one unique. Kimchi can be found in grocery stores and even sushi bars(south korea). Also, many people make it at home (for example when they are going to have visitors so that they eat their homemade kimchi, made with a lot of effort) it is easy to make and takes very few days to ferment.
It looks so good, I really want to eat it.
