Snapshots from South Korea: Foods You Must Eat in Jeju-do and the Mainland
This is just a slice of the diversity of Korean cuisine. You'll notice themes across the dishes: the simple pleasures of local and seasonal ingredients, blushes of heat from spice and fire, and above all, pride in food and of country. Take a look at some of the best bites: the bulgogi, the street food, and much more.Snapshots from Korea: The O-Il Jang (Five Day Market) on Jeju Island
During the filming of PBS's The Kimchi Chronicles, renowned chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten and his wife, Marja, visited one of the several O-Il Jang (5 Day Market) on Jeju-do, the provincial island off of the southern coast of the Korean peninsula. According to the producer of The Kimchi Chronicles Eric Rhee, Vongerichten was so inspired by the market that he halted the shooting schedule, bought everything in sight, commandeered the kitchen of a local hotel, and cooked an impromptu multi-course meal for the film crew and hotel staff.What Happens When You Try to Make Kimchi Quesadillas in Korea
"We kind of had the opposite problem that anyone stateside has... Kimchi is not exactly hard to come by here, and when you live in a neighborhood adjacent to a military base that houses several thousand U.S. military personnel, cheese and tortillas aren't either; it's just that they're severely overpriced. I had to spend about $12 for like half a pound total of cheddar and monterey jack." —tumblandrew.tumblr.com (in response to yesterday's Dinner Tonight recipe)...Kimchi Donuts from Dunkin' Donuts in Korea
[Photograph: Andrew Siddons] Fried dough and fermented cabbage aren't two things that usually join forces, except maybe in South Korea where my friend spotted this kimchi donut. It's one of five "ethnic" flavors that Dunkin' Donuts launched (they also made a yogurt-filled one in Greece and soy-filled one in Japan). Technically there's no hole, so they're calling them kimchi croquettes. File this under: potentially genius or a vile, gag reflex-inducing mistake.

The U.S. beef ban over mad cow disease concerns may have been lifted in South Korea last month, but how does it look when even officials aren't willing to eat imported beef on TV? When the free trade agreement (FTA) talks between South Korea and the U.S. were under way in 2006, Trade Minister Kim [Jong-hoon] ― who was the chief negotiator ― said he was willing to eat imported U.S. beef "as a citizen." But he declined to reply whether he would eat the beef on TV. Later, Kim expressed uneasiness about journalists' questions on food safety and test eating.[Assistant U.S. Trade Representative] Wendy Cutler, who was the chief negotiator for the U.S., was also noncommittal on the eating...Photo of the Day: Tornado Potato
Photograph from Superlocal on Flickr This fine specimen of street food, the "tornado potato" or, if you prefer, the "tortato," was spotted on the streets of Seoul, South Korea. They can also be found in Japan....Kimchi's Ripe and Spicy Scale
How ripe and spicy is that kimchi in a jar? The South Korean Ministry of Agriculture has proposed a scale for ranking kimchi spiciness—mild, slightly hot, moderately hot, very hot, and extremely hot. It also includes a three-level scale of "ripeness," depending on the degree of fermentation. Local manufacturers are encouraged to adopt the standards, which are aimed at promoting exports and may fall under regulation in the future. For the record, I like my kimchi "very hot" and "fermented." Photograph by Nagyman on Flickr...Photo of the Day: Three Little Pigs
Three Little Pigs, Busan by cfarivar on Flickr I am fascinated by the blissed out expression on these pigs' faces, hopefully a reflection of the way they lived and died though that's probably wishful thinking on my part....Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
