 I Want More! by machomikemd It is very Tasty and Sinful! Since the US Beef Ban in 2003, koreans have rediscoved the cheap alternative to expensive local beef by buying thin slices of pork belly called samgyeopsal. fatty slices of pork belly meat are served in the same fashion as galbi, with the meat flavored with garlic, salt and sesame oil and cooked on a grill at the diners' table. Prior to consumption, the large slices of meat are cut into smaller pieces with scissors. A common way to consume the meat is to place a slice inside a lettuce or other green leaf with some cooked rice and ssamjang, a paste made out of chili paste (gochujang) and soybean paste (doenjang). It is very popular around korea since it costs only 12,000 won an order!

The meat is marinated with a mixture of soy sauce, sugar and other ingredients such as scallions and mushrooms, especially white button and shiitake and rice glass noodles are added and is cooked into an lpg stove! it is Deelicious! it costs 18,000 won an order but it rises to 55,000 won if using local korean beef!

there are about 35 basic kinds of kimchi in both south and north korea and kimchi is spicier in north korea since they have colder weather. At present there are about 100 different variations of kimchi. If you eat at a korean restaurant here, they will give you at least 4 kind of ban chan (kimchi) as side dish and as many as 13 in large restaurants and the good news, kimchi is given free when you order food at any restaurants, food courts, fast food places around south korea.
