Kimchi is affecting Korea Economy. According to Straitstimes.com, Korea's Kimchi trading has dramatically gone down and hurting Korea. These days economy is very unstable everywhere and Korea is not an exception. So, Korea is trying to tell the world that Kimchi is not the only thing that represents Korean cuisine. But I'm sure anyone who is reading this should (or will) know that there's more to Korean food. Some very unfamiliar and some very familiar. Meats, veggies, mixture, seafood, noodles, soups, etc....So many to explore!
Unlike other cuisines, Korean food cannot be categorized into only one kind. Spices are used differently for different dishes to have a VERY different tasting dishes. Many might think Korean food is all spicy. But that's just a part of Korean Cuisine. You need to know that not every Korean loves spicy, spicy, and spicy. Also, some Koreans CAN'T EAT Kimchi!!!! Moreover, if there's one spicy dish, Koreans usually get something not so spicy to balance out.
Spicy food certainly defines Korean cuisine but there's more to Korean food than all spicy. For example, Jap Chae is a stir fried noodle with lots of veggies, Namul is different veggie salads, Juns are fried mini pancakes(check out our posts of Hobak-Squash Jun and Donguranddaeng-meat Jun), various soups or Gook/Jjigae made with bean sprouts, radish, or beef broth and Kimbap, the rolls. There are so much more. We shall explore them one by one.
