What better way to immerse yourself in Korean culture than learning how to cook Korean food?
Korea has a culinary tradition distinct from Japanese and Chinese cuisine - traditional Korean cuisine is heavily influenced by Mongol culture. Koreans are the only Asian culture that eats rice with a spoon. Interestingly, the pepper, a mainstay of all Asian cuisine, was introduced to Asia by the Dutch in the 17th century - the pepper plant comes from the Americas. It is hard to imagine any Asian cuisine without this mainstay.
