Kimchi, bibimbap, tteokbokki, bulgogi and more – these nutritious, vegetable-fuelled, spice and sesame-infused dishes are just some of the most popular Korean foods enjoyed worldwide.
Traditional Korean cooking is guided by the four distinct seasons that the country experiences throughout the year. With a rich, luscious topography that ranges from expansive mountainous regions and the volcanic, tropical Jeju Island to small valleys and narrow coastal planes, the freshest seasonal produce varies beautifully from harvest to harvest, depending on location. Naturally, regions throughout both North and South Korea have their own specialities as a result.
