Maangchi's Real Korean Cooking: Authentic Dishes for the Home Cook

Product Information

An absolute classic cookbook of Chinese cuisine, The Food of Sichuan introduces you to the fundamentals of cooking food from the Sichuan province of China which has some unique (and incredibly spicy) dishes on offer. Jeon (전, 煎) (or buchimgae) is a Korean savory pancake made from various ingredients. Chopped kimchi or seafood is mixed into a wheat flour-based batter, and then pan fried. This dish is typically dipped in a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, and red pepper powder. It can be served as an appetizer, side dish ( banchan - 반찬) or accompanied by alcohol ( anju - 안주).

This is my first cookbook with a major publisher (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) and we worked very hard to make a comprehensive, wide-angle view of Korean cooking, from the simplest recipes to the most advanced (see the full recipe index, in English, Korean, and Romanized Korean).

Other than the etiquette mentioned above, blowing one's nose when having a meal is considered an inappropriate act as well. Joanne shares with you a collection of her favorite vegan Korean dishes. And you will find that Korean cuisine is not only about grilled meat but also about many succulent dishes with completely plant-based ingredients.

Namul may refer to either saengchae (생채, literally "fresh vegetables") or sukchae (숙채, literally "heated vegetables"), although the term generally indicates the latter. Saengchae is mostly seasoned with vinegar, chili pepper powder and salt to give a tangy and refreshing taste. On the other hand, sukchae (숙채) is blanched and seasoned with soy sauce, sesame oil, chopped garlic, or sometimes chili pepper powder.

The northern region consisted of Hamgyeong Province, Pyeongan Province and Hwanghae Province. The central region comprised Gyeonggi Province, Chungcheong Province, and Gangwon Province. Gyeongsang Province and Jeolla Province made up the southern region. [97]

The sura (수라) were the main meals of the day. Breakfast was served at ten in the morning, and the evening meals were served between six and seven at night. The set of three tables ( surasang, 수라상), were usually set with two types of rice, two types of soup, two types of stew ( jjigae), one dish of jjim (meat stew), one dish of jeongol (a casserole of meat and vegetables), three types of kimchi, three types of jang (장) and twelve side dishes, called 12 cheop (12첩). The meals were set in the suragan (수라간), a room specifically used for taking meals, with the king seated to the east and the queen to the west. Each had their own set of tables and were attended by three palace servant women known as sura sanggung (수라상궁). These women would remove bowl covers and offer the foods to the king and queen after ensuring the dishes were not poisoned.
