Bulgogi, one of Korea's most famous grilled dishes

Bulgogi (Barbecued Beef) Bulgogi





Pulgogi is one of Korea's most famous grilled dishes. It is made from sirloin or another prime cut of beef (such as top round), cut into thin strips. For an outside barbecue, the meat is marinated for at least four hours to enhance the flavor and to tenderize it in a mixture of sesame oil, soy sauce, black pepper, garlic, sugar, onions, ginger, and wine. The marinated beef is cooked on a metal dish over the burner. Whole cloves of garlic, sliced onions, and chopped green peppers are often grilled at the same time.

To eat, select a pice of cooked beef, and wrap it in lettuce with rice, kimchi, shredded vegetables, or a number of other garnishes on the table. You can also add doenjang (bean paste) for flavor. Dwaeji pulgogi is a pork version of this dish.

Korean Culture : Han Style



Asian countries have been doing exchanges through culture and trade throughout history. Trends spread throughout the region at an incredibly fast rate. The 80's were a time for “Hong Kong Noir” while the 90's were more an age of Japanese animation. The 2000s have seen a sharp rise in the popularity of Korean culture, with music and dramas hitting all the right notes. Interest in Korea, triggered by the success of leading Korean dramas and popular music, continues to escalated to include a host of other aspects of Korean culture, such as hangeul (Korean alphabet), hansik (Korean food), hanbok (traditional Korean clothing), hanok (traditional Korean houses), hanji (traditional Korean paper), as well as Korean music. In Korea, the aforementioned six cultural symbols are collectively referred to as “Han Style”.

The Korean Wave that swept its way through Asia starting with dramas and popular music is now achieving even far greater appeal in the international market. As it continues to evolve it enriches the image of Han Style.

Korean Taekwondo



The origin of taekwondo is from  Korea
Taekwondo is a martial art focused on kicking
Tae (태) means "to kick" or "to strike with the foot."
kwon (권) means "to intercept" or "to strike with the hands."
do (도) means "the way of the art"

Taekwondo is the way of the art using kicking and punching. Taekwondo has become very popular and well known for its excellent kicks.

Besides the use for self-defense, taekwondo has also become very popular as a sport. There are many taekwondo competitions all over the world. It is even an event in the Olympics now. In addition, taekwondo teaches more than physical fighting skills. It teaches discipline as well as a way to enhance daily life through training.



Benefits of Taekwondo
Taekwondo offers many benefits for anyone who wishes to practice it. The benefits of taekwondo are great and can help anyone, no matter what age.
For the younger people, taekwondo can offer intense training, greater than most other sports. Practitioners become fit fast, flexible, develop great stamina, learn self-defense, increase muscle, increase coordination, and many other benefits.

For older people, taekwondo can offer the same benefits, but also on a much easier level. It can improve health (safely) and does not have to be as intense as younger practitioners will train. Flexibility is something many older people loose over the years and taekwondo can help them to maintain flexibility and/or get some back that has been lost, providing a much healthier lifestyle. Basic self-defense skills can be learned by all.
Outside of physical benefits of taekwondo, lies some of the greatest benefits of all. Benefits of the mind.
Taekwondo can help increase confidence, self-control, self-assertiveness, leadership, comradeship, positive attitude, training of the mind. It will lead to a more peaceful lifestyle. most importantly, taekwondo can reduce stress. Now that is something everyone can benefit from. No matter what age, these internal benefits will help someone have a better, happier life.

Korean Food : Buldak

Buldak : Hot & Spicy Chicken
buldak





Buldak is a spicy chicken dish that is very popular in Koreans. Its popularity has been attributed to both its unique flavors and spiciness.

Many restaurants that specialize in buldak have been created due to the growing popularity as this dish is considered fairly new. Also, most restaurants that serve this dish offer various levels of spiciness that one can choose from and there are usually fresh vegetables served with this dish to blend in the taste.

An order of buldak can be served on a platter of bite-sized morsels of chicken breasts or sometimes in combinations of wings or drumsticks. While the flavor and degree of hotness differs a little from place to place, it is marinated with a hot & sweet sauce, grilled over an open fire, and then served over a sizzling skillet, topped with cheese as well as various herbs. It’s usually enjoyed as an appetizer while drinking a cold mekju or soju at popular bars or restaurants.
