A Tour of Traditional Korean Flavors
Korea’s culinary traditions have developed over centuries, influenced by the ingredients and crops grown across its diverse landscapes. While Korean cuisine is still relatively unknown in the West, its growing popularity is giving more people access to these unique flavors.
The Foundations: Grains and Vegetables
Rice and vegetables feature prominently in many iconic Korean dishes. Ingredients like:
- Short or medium-grain white rice
- Cabbages
- Radish
- Scallions
Add body, crunch, and nutty or peppery flavors as a base for savory proteins and zingy sauces.
Korean cooks transform humble veggies like cabbage, radish, and scallions into flavor-packed banchan side dishes through processes like salting, fermenting, and quick-pickling. These techniques impart a signature tangy crunch that balances richer dishes.
The Flavors: Chili Pepper Pastes and Fermented Sauces
Spicy chili pastes and pungent fermented sauces are cornerstones of authentic Korean cooking:
- Gochujang — A savory-sweet fermented chili paste
- Doenjang — A salty, funky fermented soybean paste
- Ganjang — Brewed soy sauce
- Gochugaru — Korean chili flakes
Combinations of these punchy sauces bring lip-tingling, addictive heat and umami flavor to everything from meaty stews to steaming soups. They make even basic vegetables irresistible.
From the mild kick of gochujang to the fiery blast of gochugaru, Korean chili pastes and sauces provide customizable spice levels. Build up the burn or keep it mild — the choice is yours.
Putting It All Together: Soups, Stews and Salads
Korean soups, stews, and salads beautifully balance hearty meats or tofu with crunchy, chilled, or cooked veggies in steaming savory broths. Some classics include:
- Kimchi-jjigae — A pork stew made pungent by aged kimchi
- Doenjang-jjigae — A robust soybean paste soup with vegetables
- Bibimbap — White rice topped with namul vegetables and glistening bulgogi beef
There is perhaps no better example of flavor harmony than the iconic Bibimbap, which combines a medley of colors, textures, temperatures, and tastes in perfect balance.
The Ultimate Korean Cookbook helps you recreate these comforting flavors right at home.
