Essentials of Korean Cooking
From kimchi to bibimbap---the classic rice preparation topped by a myriad of ingredients---the signature dishes of Korea have seduced America with their intoxicating flavors. Soups and stews are popular, as are the vegetables, tofu, meat and seafood that all feature in main dishes as well as in banchan, the Korean assortment of side dishes that appear in most traditional meals. You will learn to make: mandu (dumplings); dak gangjung (hot chicken wings); haemul pa jeon (seafood and green onion pancakes); sokalbi gui (barbecued beef short ribs); bulgogi (grilled seasoned sliced beef); bibimbap (seasoned vegetable rice bowl); haetgamja jorim (new potatoes with roasted sesame seeds); assorted banchan, including quick kimchi; and cucumber-infused soju (distilled liquor).
