Thick Noodles
우동, 자장 면, UDong, JaJang Myeon
These thick noodles are for special dishes like JjaJangMyun (자장면), Udong (우동), or JjamBbong (짬뽕). You can get them dried, frozen, or fresh. Personally, I like the fresh noodles the most and dry noodles the least. Cook the noodles in boiling water for about 6 to 8 minutes, unless the directions for your noodles tell otherwise. Then rinse the noodles quickly in cold water several times before you serve them – that will make the noodles more chewy and elastic.
Sea Mustard
미역, MiYeok
In Korea, it is called miyeouk (미역) and used in salads or soup. If it is dried, soak it in the water for 10 to 20 minutes before using it.
- Use:
Soup, Side dishes, Salads- Storage:
Fresh Seaweed: Keep in the refrigerator.
Dried Seaweed: Keep in the cabinet.
Seasoned Soybean Curd
유부, YuBu
This is ready-made yubu chobap packed with seasoned soybean curd and sauce. It was my first time to try this brand (Assi,) and it was good enough to use again.
Rice Cake for TteokGuk
떡국 떡, TteokGuk Tteok
There are hundreds of different kinds of Tteok (떡) eaten year round. In Korea, it is customary to eat TteokGuk (떡국) on New Year’s Day. This special type of rice cake is for that soup.
Asian Pear
배, Bae
In Korea, we use some fruits for cooking such as the Asian pear, apple, kiwi, and so on. Pears are especially good for marinating meat such as BulGoGi, since it gives a naturally sweet flavor, and makes the meat tender.
Napa Cabbage
배추, BaeChu
In Korea, napa cabbage (BaeChu) is used in making the most common type of kimchi. It is the main ingredient of baechu kimchi, but is also eaten raw as a wrap for pork or oysters, dipped in gochujang. The outer, tougher leaves are called ugeoji, and used in soups.
Soybean Sprouts
콩나물, KongNaMul
Kongnamul is a seasoned side-dish made from soybean sprouts as well as being a term for the sprouts themselves. It is one of the most common side-dishes, as well as a basic ingredient of bibimbap. After bean skins and the very end of the tails are removed, the sprouts are boiled. Drained sprouts are then seasoned with sesame oil, salt, chopped green onions, sesame seeds, minced garlic, and a sprinkle of chili powder.
Dried Taro Stem
말린 토란대, MalRin ToRanDae
In South Korea, Taro is called ToRan (토란) meaning “egg from earth”, and the corm is stewed and the leaf stem is stir-fried. Taro roots can be used for medicinal purposes, particularly for curing insect bites. I tried to find this in Korean stores here (USA) but I couldn’t. My mom sent this to me from Korea. I tried to think of what kind of vegetables you can substitute for this, if you can’t find it. When I consider the texture, I recommend oyster mushroom or Enokitake mushroom. Those substitutes are especially good when making the Korean soup YukGaeJang.
Dried Fernbrake
말린 고사리, MalRin GoSaRi
In East Asia, Pteridium aquilinum (fernbrake or bracken fiddleheads) is eaten as a vegetable. In Korea, a typical banchan (small side dish) is GoSaRi-NaMul (고사리나물) that consists of prepared fernbrake that has been sauteed. It is a component of the popular dish BiBimBap.
