    Bab, Jang, and Kimchi

    (Rice, Sauce and Korean Style Fermented Vegetable)

    To eat a meal is Bab Meongneunda in Korean. Korean people say that

    they live off Babsim (power they get from rice), and greet others whom

    they frequently see by asking Bab Meogeosseo? (Did you have a meal?)

    A meal with rice is called Bab, and Bab is very important to the Korean

    people.

    Examples of typical Korean food served on the table are Bab, Banchan

    (side dish), Guk (soup), Jjigae (stew), but Bab forms the main

    portion. It is not an exaggeration to say that a Korean meal starts with Bab

    and finishes with Bab.

    There are two more foods that cannot be excluded from Korean meals. The

    first is Jang (sauce), a traditional food made by fermenting soy products.

    This includes different types of Jang such as Doenjang, Ganjang,

    Gochujang and more. Jang is used to season food and add a special

    flavor.

    The other food that is absolutely inseparable from Korean meals is Kimchi

    (Korean-style fermented vegetable). Kimchi is a type of fermented

    food that includes all sorts of spices with the vegetables after it has been

    fermented. Each region and each house makes kimchi slightly differently,

    leading to different and unique tastes. Commonly used vegetables such as

    Chinese cabbage, radish, and young radish are the main ingredients, and

    are flavored with red chili, pickled fish, green onion, and garlic.

    Se Ggi (Three Meals)

    Koreans traditionally eat three meals a day: these are Achim, Jeomsim,

    and Jeonyeok. They usually eat Achim before starting work, Jeomsim

    when the sun is high, and Jeonyeok at day's end. Every house in modern

    Korea has very different eating habits. In rural areas, they eat their meals

    early in the morning and then eat dinner, but many people in the city eat

    light meals or skip breakfast. Additional food aside from these three meals

    a day are called Gansik or Saecham.

    Babsang (Table)

    These kinds of food are often present on the Babsang of those that eat

    three meals a day in Korea:

    Bab: Bab is usually placed in the center of a Babsang. Besides the

    steamed white rice made only from Ssal, Bab can be made with cereal

    grains like beans, barley, and millet. Even if one eats bread or noodles

    instead of rice for a meal, it is still Babsang.

    Banchan: These are side dishes that will add more flavor to your Bab

    such as Kimchi, Namul, Saengseon and Gogi. Koreans eat a few

    kinds of simple Banchan with a bowl of rice, or they can eat more than 10

    kinds of Banchan in a regular meal.

    Guk, Jjigae: Guk is a soup boiled with several kinds of vegetables,

    meat, and/or seafood. Some people have experienced upset stomach while

    eating rice without soup. We usually call a watery soup that's not very salty

    Guk, and rich soup with many ingredients is called Jjigae.

    Husik (Simple Snack, Tea, or Fruit after Eating a Meal)

    A favorite Husik among most Koreans is Gwail (fruit).

    We eat strawberries in the spring, watermelon and yellow

    melon in the summer, and apples, oranges, and pears in

    the autumn and winter. Cha is also a popular dessert, the

    most common being coffee and tea. Nurungji (crust of

    overcooked rice) and Sujeonggwa (persimmon punch)

    are made into drinks.

    Sutgarak (Spoon) and Jeotgarak (Chopsticks)

    The utensils that Koreans use to eat Bab, are Sutgarak,

    and Jeotgarak. Koreans eat rice and soup with Sutgarak,

    and handle most of their food and feed themselves with

    Jeotgarak. Combining these two utensils, we call them

    Sujeo.

    Table Manners

    Remember to keep these table manners when you eat:

    - Your elders are the first to lift their spoons, and you finish

    eating after your elders finish their meals.

    - Do not chew your food loudly.

    - Place the rice bowl and soup bowl on the table while

    eating. Do not lift the bowl to eat.

    - Do not stand up while eating rice.

    - Do not pick through the side dishes that are shared.

    - Inedible things such as bones and fish bones from food are

    to be wrapped in paper and placed in another bowl, out of

    sight to others.

    Jang(Sauce)2 |

    Ganjang (Soy Sauce)

    Ganjang is usually used to season food instead of salt. Along with the saltiness, it also adds

    there a unique, aromatic, and sweet flavor.

    There are two kinds of soy sauce. Jinganjang is sweet and salty, can be used to boil or fry food

    and as a dipping sauce for food. Yangjoganjang that is often sold on the market is Jinganjang.

    Sometimes, elderly people call it Waeganjang. (Jinganjang is the correct term.)

    Meanwhile, Gukganjang is often called Jipganjang or Joseon Ganjang. It is used to season

    boiling soup or stew. I would like to introduce a few ways on how to make dipping soy sauce.

    Choganjang (Soy Sauce Mixed with Vinegar): This sauce is good for deep-fried, fatty food.

    Mix soy sauce and vinegar with a 3:1 ratio. You can also mix in seasoned rice wine, sugar, or even

    a little water.

    Gochunaengi Ganjang (Soy Sauce Mixed with Horseradish): Mix soy sauce and wasabi to

    eliminate the fishy smell. Horseradish is called often Wasabi. Buy a tube of Yeonwasabi in the

    market and mix a little bit of it with soy sauce. This mixture is often eaten with sashimi.

    Yangnyeom Ganjang (Soy Sauce Mixed with Seasoning): Put different kinds of seasoning

    into the soy sauce to eat food wrapped in seaweed or to dip Korean pancake and such dishes. Mix

    in some green onion, garlic, sesame, red chili, onion, and/or green chili with the soy sauce.

    Doenjang (Soybean Paste)

    Doenjang is a thick paste used for cooking stew or soup and dipping vegetables like fresh green

    chili and cucumbers. You can also dip wrapped food. It is also very effective for getting rid of the

    smell of fish or pork.

    Doenjang Jjigae (Bean Paste Stew): Refer to page 100

    Ssamjang (Seasoned Soybean Paste for Wrapped Food): Add a little seasoned soybean

    paste for food wrapped in lettuce or meat wrapped in sesame-leaf for a delicious flavor. Mix

    soybean paste and red chili paste with a 3:1 ratio and then mix some sesame oil, minced garlic,

    chopped onion, sesame, sugar, or honey.

    Gochujang (Red Chili Paste)

    Gochujang is a bright red and spicy red chili paste, a Koreans all-time favorite. It is used to add

    a spicy flavor in cooking or is simply mixed with rice.

    Yak Gochujang (Red Chili Paste Mixed with Meat): Mix red chili paste with ground pork,

    honey and/or corn syrup, and then fry it. It is good when served as a side dish.

    Cho Gochujang (Red Chili Paste Mixed with Vinegar): It is really good to dip sashimi,

    fresh seafood, vegetable sukhoe (lightly cooked food) and such into red chili paste mixed with

    vinegar. Mix Gochujang, vinegar, and sugar in a ratio of 4:1:1 to prepare sweet and sour Cho

    Gochujang.

    Korean traditional food, Jang, is made from fermented beans. One would usually buy

    it in the market and eat it, but you can also spend enough time and effort making and

    eating it in your own way so that it's more healthy and delicious. This book does not

    cover how to ferment it, but uses a simple approach to explain how to eat many kinds of

    jang.

    It is necessary to have the basic ingredients ready for cooking any Korean dish.

    Keep the following ingredients ready in the fridge.

    Basic Ingredients to Keep Handy3 |

    Gochutgaru (Red Chili Powder) and Maneul (Garlic)

    Garlic and red chili powder is usually added to most Korean dishes. Korean

    homes always have garlic, red chili, and other herbs on-hand to be used

    in sauces for soup and side dishes. You can chop garlic with a knife or buy

    chopped garlic in the store. Red chili powder is used to add spiciness, and

    it is often bought in powder form. Onions and green onions are also used in

    many foods.

    Chamgireum (Sesame Oil)

    Oil is usually used when cooking Korean pancakes or fried food. Even for

    cooking a simple fried egg, you would need sesame oil. Sesame oil is used

    more often because it adds fragrance. A drop of sesame oil in soup, stew,

    herbs, or rice with mixed vegetables adds a good flavor. Deulgireum (perilla

    oil) is also available for adding a similar but slightly different flavor.

    Yuksu (Anchovy Broth)

    This broth is prepared to cook any kind of soup. The most basic ingredient

    for the broth is a large anchovy, and then dried kelp, dried cod, dried

    shrimp, and clams are frequently added to it. In addition to fresh seafood,

    mushroom, onion, green onion, etc. are also used. These ingredients are

    stored in the freezer.

    Jeotgal (Salted Fish)

    Fermented fish and other seafood is called Jeotgal. We usually use it to

    make kimchi, but we also just eat it as a side dish or use it to make side

    dishes in the place of salt or soy sauce. Salted shrimp, salted anchovy,

    salted clam, salted cuttlefish, and salted pollack roe are some examples of

    Jeotgal.

    Sipan Jomiryo (Commercial Seasoning)

    A lot of people think that using seasonings isn't healthy, and they don't

    like it. But if the flavor isn't good when making food for the first time, it's

    not a bad idea to get a little help from commercial seasoning. There are

    chemical seasonings like Miwon and Dasida, but natural seasonings

    without chemicals are sold as well. After opening these seasoning, keep

    them sealed to prevent them from drying. Make sure to add seasonings first,

    followed by the salt or soybean sauce.

    Other Ingredients that Should Be Handy

    Just as there are salt and sugar in every household, it is recommended to

    have these ingredients ready to cook delicious Korean food.

    Vinegar: Needed to make sour vegetables or to make soy sauce mixed with

    vinegar.

    Seasoned Rice Wine: Removes any unpleasant smells from meat and

    adds a unique, sweet flavor. You can also use seasoned rice wine or sake.

    Corn Syrup: Adds a sweet taste and shine to food.

    Starch: Used to thicken soups and also to make batter.

    Ketchup, Mayonnaise: Used for dipping vegetables and meat.

    Pepper: Usually sprinkled in broth or greasy food.

    Ttukbaegi (Earthen Pot)

    This clay pot is especially useful when boiling

    stew or steaming food. Although its contents do

    not boil quickly, they also do not cool quickly, so

    you can enjoy the food while it is still hot. Do

    not use detergents when washing these pots;

    you should use flour or baking soda to remove

    grease.

    Frying Pan

    Frying pans are coated to prevent food residue

    from sticking. Do not scratch them with sharp

    objects or roughly wipe when washing them to

    prevent the coating from peeling.

    Portable Gas Stove

    A portable gas stove is often called Burustar

    in Korea, and it uses butane gas. The fire is not

    strong, but you can use it outdoors and you can

    also directly use it on tables. It can be handy

    when you grill meat and boil stews. Separate

    the gas from the stove after using these stoves.

    Microwave Oven

    This machine heats meals with microwaves. It

    heats the water particles inside food, making

    it very convenient when heating cold rice

    and food. On the other hand, there are many

    things to be careful about. Firstly, you must use

    specially designed vessels for heating food. If

    you use metal bowls, the dishes will be ruined,

    and it may also cause a fire. Secondly, these

    vessels should not be completely sealed since

    they may explode due to building pressure.

    When you cook nuts or eggs, you must leave an

    opening for the water vapor to get out before

    using the microwave.

    Pressure Cooker

    This is a very powerful cooker that uses

    a sealed lid. The boiled water vapor does

    not leak, so it cooks its contents with high

    temperatures and pressures. Rice cooked with

    a pressure cooker becomes delicious and sticky,

    and you can make meat and other steamed

    foods very tender in a short amount of time. You

    must, however, open the lid after completely

    removing steam and checking the safety device.

    You may get scalded if you open it if all the

    steam has not been removed.

    Electric Grinder

    This tool is used for grinding food. Food may

    also be cut into different shapes depending on

    the type of cutter. It must be cleaned every time

    you use it. Be careful never insert your finger or

    other objects during operation.

    Electric Rice Cooker

    Most rice cookers can be used to cook many

    different foods. If you use them well, you can

    easily cook steamed dishes. Of course, their

    primary purpose is to conveniently make Bab.

    Oven

    An oven is mostly used for making western

    food with very high heat. Some Korean homes

    have them while others do not. Only containers

    that can withstand great heat can be used, and

    you must be careful not to get burned when

    handling them because the oven and these

    containers can get extremely hot.

    Cooking Tools4 | The more you know how to use cooking tools, the easier it is to prepare food. There are some things you should know when you plan to use cooking tools for a long time.

    Items to Be Bought Often in Small Quantities

    Yachae (Vegetable): The fresher the vegetables, the better, so buy them often in smaller quantities.

    You can buy vegetables from discount stores and from wholesale fruit and vegetables markets.

    Sometimes vegetables are sold in set quantities in traditional markets, but you can buy as much as you

    want through haggling.

    Yukryu (Meat): We also recommend buying meat in small amounts each time you go shopping.

    Although you can keep meat in the freezer and store it a long time, the taste will not be as good. When

    you purchase meat from a meat expert in the butcher shop or supermarket, the butcher will usually

    measure meat by the gram. The measurement geun is also used for measuring meat. A geun of

    pork is usually 600 grams, but it is 400 or 600 grams for beef, depending on the region. For reference, a

    serving of meat sold in restaurants is usually 200 grams.

    Haemul (Seafood): Buy a small quantity of seafood each time you go shopping. If you leave store it for

    a long time, you may risk food poisoning. The flavor of seafood also goes bad if you freeze it and then

    defrost it again.

    Items to Always Have Ready

    Yangnyeom (Spices) and Jangryu (Sauce): The basic ingredients necessary to make Korean food

    should always be kept handy. Ganjang, Gochujang, Doenjang, oil, sesame oil, vinegar, red chili

    powder, salt, anchovies, and sesame can be safely kept for long periods of time, so buy enough of

    them to last you a good while. Most packaged food comes from factories, and traditional markets sell

    homemade goods.

    Processed Foods: The average home has a lot of canned food or instant food ready for eating. Because

    of the long shelf life of these foods, it's useful to have them ready when necessary. Instant noodles,

    frozen dumplings, and canned tuna are typical preserved foods in Korean households.

    Where You Can Shop: Supermarket and Traditional Market

    Mart (Supermarket): A mart is stocked with many things where consumers pick up groceries as

    desired, and the merchandise is paid all at once at the end. Each piece of merchandise has its weight

    and price attached. Therefore, you must check the weight and price tags when you purchase goods.

    Examples of some supermarkets include E-mart, Lotte Mart, Home Plus, and more.

    Jaeraesijang (Traditional Market): In the traditional market, each small shop sells a specific kind of

    goods. While not as organized as a mart, it is possible to get discounts and bonuses when shopping in

    traditional markets. Even if the merchandise isn't packaged, these markets are very convenient in that

    you can purchase what you want in the amounts you like.

    You can also buy groceries through the Internet, such as frozen foods, spices, vegetables, seasonings,

    etc. You can buy almost any kind of food: the prices are sometimes cheaper, and you may even be able to

    buy local produce or high quality products. You must, however, be careful when making purchases since

    you cannot personally examine what you're buying. The information on these sites are mostly provided

    only in Korean.

    How to Shop for Groceries

    5 |

    It is best to buy ingredients when they

    are fresh, but it isn't easy to shop for food

    every day. Moreover, some ingredients

    must undergo some preparation work

    before they can be cooked.

    Using the Measuring

    Tools

    How to Measure6 |

    Measuring Spoon

    The liquid should be filled so it does

    not run over. Powders should be

    overfilled, and then leveled flat. One

    tablespoon is 15ml, and a teaspoon

    is 5ml. Rice spoon sizes are different

    in every home, and they're usually

    about 10~12ml in size.

    Pastes (Red Chili Paste, Soybean Paste, Etc.) 1 Measuring Spoon = 15ml1 rice spoon = 10~12ml

    Liquid (Oil, Seasoned Rice Wine, Etc.)1 Measuring Spoon = 15ml1 Rice Spoon=10~12ml

    Powder (Flour, Sugar, Salt, Etc.)1 Measuring Spoon = 15ml1 Rice Spoon = 10~15ml

    Basics for Measuring Spices

    What is the weight of 1 tablespoon of chopped green onions, chopped garlic, etc.? Let's take a look at the photos.

    Chopped Pa (green onions) 1 Tablespoon 5cm of Green Onion (White Part) (25g)

    Chopped Saenggang (Ginger) 1 Tablespoon 1/3 Piece of Ginger (10g)

    Chopped Maneul (Garlic) 1 Tablespoon 2 Pieces of Garlic (10g)

    Chopped Yangpa (Onion) 1 Tablespoon 1/12 Piece of Onion (10g)

    Measuring Cup

    Measuring the fluid level is necessary when preparing dishes. Powdery substances should be measured

    by over-filling the measurement cup, and then leveling away the excess from the top. The capacity of

    measuring cups is 200ml, and you can use paper cups or empty milk carton instead. Since the density

    of ingredients varies, it might be useful to note that a cup of flour is less than 200g, while a cup of

    gochujang is over 200g.

    Types of Bab

    The most basic kind of rice is ssalbab (white rice). Korean rice is round, somewhat short in shape, and is sticky. As the

    tastes of Koreans vary, so do the methods for preparing and eating rice.

    There are two types of rice: these are chapssal (glutinous rice) and mebssal (non-glutinous rice). We eat special

    dishes like rice cakes, cooked glutinous rice, or chicken soup with ginseng made with chapssal, and eat normal meals

    made with mebssal.

    The more health conscious Koreans eat hyeonmi (brown rice) more than baekmi (white rice). Baekmi and hyeonmi

    are determined by how much rice skin and bran is peeled off when the rice was polished. White rice is the most peeled

    with 12 bundo (a measurement) and brown rice is less peeled with 9 bundo or 7 bundo. Brown rice is a little bit hard

    compared to white rice, but it is better for the health.

    Japgokbab is made by adding other grains to rice. Barley and legumes are most common grains used for this dish.

    There are half-cooked apmaek (pressed barley) and halmaek (divided barley) in addition to normal barley. Legumes for

    Japgokbab include peas, kidney beans, black beans, etc. Red beans, millet, black rice, and hog millet may also be used.

    Cooking Bab

    Soak the rice in water before cooking Bab. If you have enough time, soak it overnight, but 30 minutes to 1 hour is

    enough. Soaking the rice before cooking is not necessary, but it improves the texture by softening it. You must, however,

    pre-soak brown rice or rice with other grains before cooking because the legumes or brown rice do not cook thoroughly.

    There are various tools for making rice, but we usually use an electric rice cooker these days. If you are using an electric

    rice cooker, simply press the switch and the rice gets cooked. If you cook rice in a pot, you must learn how to cook it

    because the method is different from cooking long-grain rice.

    1) Soak the rice beforehand.

    2) Measure the water: a cup of water is added per cup of rice. If you did not have enough time to soak the rice, then add

    20~30% more water.

    3) Put the rice on a gas stove using high heat. If the water is about to leak out, open the lid to prevent overflowing.

    4) Whenever the rice water is about overflow, reduce the heat to slightly medium heat and then low heat. It is good to

    gently stir the rice with a rice paddle.

    5) When there is less water and the simmering is reduced, turn the heat to the lowest setting possible and cover the lid.

    Leave it for about 10 minutes; we call this process ddeumeul deulinda (let the rice settle in its own steam).

    6) When the rice is done, mix it with a rice paddle.

    Storing Bab

    To keep cooked rice in a warm rice cooker, remove the water vapor by gently turning the rice with the paddle. The rice will

    become mushy if you do not remove the water vapor from the rice. You must also be sure not to leave rice for too long in

    a warm rice cooker since it will yellow and start to smell. If the rice is to be kept for several days, divide into bowls and

    store the rice in a freezer. Reheat the rice in a microwave afterwards so that it will be just like fresh cooked rice.

    If you can correctly make broth, you can

    make really tasty soups. If you do not use

    broth to make a well-made soup with

    good ingredients, the taste will not be

    good.

    Broth should be made each time you need

    it because it's best to eat when it's freshly

    made. If necessary, you can keep pre-

    made broth in the refrigerator or keep it

    frozen to be used later.

    Making Broth8 |

    Myeolchi Yuksu (Anchovy Broth)

    This is the most common and general type of broth. Many people like it, and it can easily be used in all

    types of food. Here's how to make it.

    1) Pick large and broad anchovies to make a broth.

    2) Remove the head, cutting the body open, and then remove the innards. Leaving these innards in may

    add a bitter taste to your broth.

    3) Put the anchovies in cold water and boil for 15 minutes.

    4) Scoop up the anchovies and only use the broth.

    Meolchi Dasima Yuksu (Anchovy Kelp Broth)

    Adding kelp to make anchovy broth will make it taste even better. Here's how to make it.

    1) Shake off any white dust that might be on the kelp, and then soak it in cold water for 30 minutes

    2) Put the kelp and soaked water into the boiling anchovy broth.

    3) Kelp will become sticky if you boil it for a long time. Scoop up the kelp once it boils a little.

    You can further improve the flavor by adding many different ingredients besides kelp into the anchovy

    broth. Ingredients that are commonly used include dried mushroom, dried shrimp, radish, garlic, and

    onion.

    Soegogi Yuksu (Beef Broth)

    Beef broth can make all Korean food taste great. The downside is the expensive price of meat and effort

    you need to put into making homemade beef broth, but it is worth making your own beef broth from

    scratch.

    1) Soak a brisket or round of beef for 3~4 hours in cold water, removing the blood.

    2) Boil the meat in an amount of water that is about 10 times more than the meat. It is better to add

    green onion, whole garlic, black pepper, onions, and radishes together.

    3) Start by boiling over high heat, and when it boils, reduce the heat and then boil for 1 hour with the lid

    covered.

    4) You may keep the broth in the freezer and use it for later.

    Jogae Yuksu (Clam Broth)

    This broth made with clam tastes clean and light. It can be used in stews, soups, etc. Clams should be

    soaked before use since they may still contain sand.

    1) Soak the clams in salt water for over 30 minutes and then remove any sand from them.

    2) Wash their shells and boil the clams in cold water.

    3) Fish the clams after they open their shells and clean any extra debris by pouring them over a clean

    cloth.
