Although Japanese and Chinese cuisine are preferred to that of other Asian countries, Korean cuisine is also gaining in popularity. Emphasizing products and spices such as sesame, soy, garlic, onions and hot peppers, it skillfully combines all flavors and is suitable for every taste. That's why we suggest you try 3 of the most interesting and at the same time traditional Korean recipes:

Samjang sauce

Method of preparation: Wash the rice and let it drain for 1 hour. Boil it in 420 ml of water for 15 minutes on low heat and keep it for another 10 minutes under the lid of a switched off stove. Fry the minced meat seasoned with salt and pepper. Mix the eggs together with a little salt and sugar and make 2 thin omelets from them, roll them up and cut them lengthwise.

Cut the cucumber, carrot and lettuce into long thin strips. When the rice is ready, season it with a mixture of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar and 2 pinches of salt. Using a bamboo mat, pour a little rice over the seaweed, place all the vegetables, eggs and meat in the middle and roll in the same way as sushi.
