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.
For the serious cook, you may want some first hand instruction. This web site lists the contact information for Korean Cooks Association: http://www.food-expo.or.kr/

“I have been teaching in Keelung, Taiwan for over 1 year now, and plan to stay at least another. Footprints Recruiting was an invaluable service for me, assisting in many ways to ensure I had a smooth transition. Without their support, moving to Taiwan would have been much more difficult, and my experience much less enjoyable. I have, of course, become friends with other teachers, both in my school and elsewhere, who did not come via Footprints Recruiting. Many had encountered problems, such as teaching at an unprofessional school, visa problems, housing problems, etc. I am grateful I never had any such difficulties. My experience in Taiwan has been wonderful.”
