More Korean Food

From my previous post on Korean bbq with friends here in Auckland, I finally tried it in the country itself! It is very interesting and it's amazing to see what the koreans use here to substitute many of the ingredients used in Korea.

Korean barbecue, or gogi gui, refers to the Korean method of grilling beef, pork, chicken, or other types of meat. Such dishes are often prepared at the diner's table on gas or charcoal grills that are built into the center of the table itself.

I didn't get to try chicken or beef but mostly the spicy pork bulgogi which is one of the most famous Korean barbecue dishes, and it is quite different from beef bulgogi because the marinade is not soy sauce-based, but instead consists of gochujang and/or chili powder, garlic, sesame oil, onions, and ground Asian pear



I think the best part of the korean bbq is the side dishes you can put inside the lettuce leave!!! Every dish has to come with kimchi and there are many different types of them it amazes me!
