| What is Korean Barbecue? North Americans, who generally consider Chinese food to be a healthy mix of meats and vegetables, will find it odd to hear Koreans describe Chinese food as greasy! Koreans generally use less oil and more spices in their cooking. Korean barbecue is a favorite restaurant dinner meal. Participants sit on a floor cushion around a table barbecuing and eating marinated meats as well as an assortment of vegetables, salad fixings, and rice brought to the table. Kimchi, a spicy garlicky-marinated cabbage, is served as a side dish with virtually every meal. Soju, beer, cola or water is the preferred beverage. |
