1. Flashcard Set #1: Famous Korean Food
Kimchi (Group1)
Kimchi is the most well known Korean food
locally and abroad. It is a fermented vegetable
dish highly seasoned with red pepper and garlic
and is served at virtually all meals. Kimchi is also
a main ingredient for many Korean dishes such as
Kimchi stew, Kimchi jeon, and Kimchi fried rice.
Bulgogi (Group2)
Bulgogi is one of the most popular dishes
in Korea and is often liked by visitors.
Bulgogi literally means "fire beef", but it is
generally translated as "Korean barbecue".
Thin, tender slices of beef are marinated in a
sauce made with soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic,
and other seasonings, and then cooked over a
hot charcoal grill at your table.

Bibimbab is a great-tasting healthy food that
truly represents Korean dining. Served with
grilled meats and a variety of vegetables atop
white rice, it is then mixed with either red
pepper paste or some other distinctive form of
marinade. The Jeonju region is known to be the
home of the Bibimbab.
Samgye Tang (Ginseng Chicken Soup) (Group4)
By eating hot ginseng chicken soup, people can
restore their bodies and spirits on hot summer
days. The chicken is stuffed with ginseng, jujubes,
