Korean Cuisine

Today, I will share some Korean food that you might want to try in the future. In New York or California, Korean food is very well known. Many Americans began to try Korean Cuisine and popularized its taste. However, in many other places, not too many people tried the food. Therefore, through my blog post, my goal is to introduce the Korean cuisine to many people who are not aware of it and encourage them to try it someday. 

The very first food is Kimchi. This is the most widely known food that you would be also aware of. Kimchi is included as one of the side dishes for every meal. It's made with some fermented vegetables,(mainly cabbage) and special sauce. At this point, you might be astonished and asking, "fermented vegetables?" However, Kimchi is very effective for diet and strengthening immune system in preventing cancer.

Another food that I would like to introduce is Bulgogi. It is known as Korean BBQ and it's most American's favorite Korean food. Bulgogi is served in many Korean restaurants as itself in grill or in hamburgers. It is made from thinly sliced sirloin or another prime cut of beef and it is usually marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, garlic, onions, ginger, wine and sugar.
