Temptation One: A Mouthwatering Korean BBQ
When it comes to Korean cuisine, people immediately think of the Sika Goo volcanic rock Korean BBQ. The volcanic rock grill is non-stick, grease-free, and can release dozens of minerals and trace elements, embodying the concept of green and healthy grilling. Placing steak, beef tongue, beef kidney, seafood, and sashimi on it, in the blink of an eye, the aroma of the meat will waft into your lungs. Coupled with the "sizzling" sound of oil dripping from the meat, everyone sitting around cannot help but salivate.
Sika Goo's Korean BBQ volcanic rock grill is especially famous for grilling steak and sirloin. The freshness and tenderness of the meat leave every person who tastes it savoring its deliciousness. Combined with specially prepared dipping sauces made from over a dozen seasonings, the taste becomes irresistible, filling one's mouth with fragrance.
Temptation Two: Colorful Korean Kimchi
The colorful Korean kimchi is the greatest temptation when enjoying Korean meals. Kimchi is a traditional Korean delicacy, representing Korea's food culture. It’s no exaggeration to say that Korea is a country pickled in a kimchi jar.
In general, Korean kimchi is a fermented food. The ingredients used are fresh vegetables of various kinds, rich in vitamins and inorganic substances such as calcium and phosphorus, providing ample nutrition and enhancing the human immune system. It can also prevent obesity, hypertension, diabetes, digestive organ cancers, and various other diseases. Therefore, since ancient times, kimchi has been an indispensable dish in Korean banquets and households alike. It is said that the absence of SARS cases in Korea is related to Koreans eating kimchi regularly.
Temptation Three: Korean Bibimbap
Bibimbap is one of the favorite home-cooked meals of the Korean people. Heating vegetables and rice in a stone pot, the "sizzling" sound mixes nutrients and flavors together. If you add a raw egg and a large spoonful of specially made bibimbap sauce, the deliciousness becomes unstoppable. The rich aroma of the mixture of various ingredients makes even the pickiest eater clean the pot.
Temptation Four: Korean Soybean Paste Soup
Koreans firmly believe that "the flavor of food depends on the sauce." They think that even the best ingredients, without the right sauce, cannot produce good dishes.
Therefore, soybean paste, chili paste, and soy sauce are indispensable ingredients in Korean cuisine. Made from soybeans, soybean paste contains abundant protein, animal fat, and vitamin E, which helps eliminate cholesterol and effectively prevents diseases.
Korean women take pride in making soybean paste. Soybean paste is Korea's national food, and there are records of it in medical books such as "Dongui Bogam" and "Eumsik Dimibang."
Temptation Five: Nourishing Ginseng Chicken Soup
Korean cuisine not only emphasizes color coordination but also focuses on nutrition and nourishment. The ginseng chicken soup represents this philosophy, being a perfect combination of "medicine and food as one source."
When making it, secret herbal ingredients and glutinous rice are sewn into the chicken, allowing the essence of the herbs to better penetrate the chicken. It emits a fragrant aroma, replenishes qi, nourishes the kidneys, and is invigorating and beautifying. Consumed during autumn and winter, it enhances immunity and delays aging, making it an excellent health-preserving food.
Temptation Six: Barley Tea
The Sika Goo volcanic rock grill, combined with Korean BBQ and characteristic kimchi, is said to be loved by some people who enjoy Korean kimchi. Another reason is also becoming a secret allure of Korean cuisine—this is barley tea.
If you enter a Korean restaurant, the tea provided after entering is almost always barley tea. Barley tea attracts a large number of loyal Korean cuisine enthusiasts. Barley tea is made by roasting barley and then boiling it, exuding a rich barley fragrance. Drinking it not only stimulates the appetite and aids digestion but also helps with weight loss, making it the preferred drink for those pursuing health and beauty.
