Did you know that Korea is the only country in the world with a cold climate and a traditionally spicy national cuisine?

Did you know that Korea is the only country in the world with a cold climate and a traditionally spicy national cuisine?

I just literally made this but without the tofu

Where did they get all the spicy stuff from in amounts necessary for it to be incorporated in national cuisine? It was quite expensive. Did they grow their own chili peppers or whatever?

Did you ferment the cabbage yourself or buy it somewhere?

More importantly, what was source of heat before the columbian exchange?

without tofu

grim. a kimchijigae without tofu is like the cock without a foreskin.

bought it. a kilogram of kimchi ranges from 3500 to 5000 huf depending on the type of kimchi
Koreans I met say it's kinda like expensive compared to korean prices

but soy will turn me into a soyboy

horseradish

They'll be deleted soon automatically.

China copies a bunch of stuff from Korea too. I recently got to know in Mandarin they use the word shibal too

LUV that shit

Korean food is not that great, I don't know how it got memed into being so popular. Chinese food is far above it, actually now I eat mostly Chinese food, Tonkatsu, and Haribo here. kbbq is good THO

It's part of the Hallyu wave government initiative

You it tonkatsu with Haribo Gummibären?

Haribo

South Koreans know what's up.

it's cold, so spicy food has developed.

Korea is really cold. That's why it was the only country in the world where floor heating was popular before the industrial revolution. And at the same time, it developed a spicy food culture.

When you eat spicy food, you feel hot and sweat. It can really beat the cold.

it's cold, so spicy food has developed

That makes zero sense.

Eating spicy food can make your body temperature feel higher due to a combination of physiological responses, rather than a true fever. Capsaicin, the compound in spicy foods, stimulates heat-sensitive receptors, tricking your brain into thinking your body is overheating. This leads to a surge of blood flow, increased heart rate, and sweating to cool down, which can make you feel hotter. It make you forget the cold

It's our fault, there was a "spicy food fad" in 1980s Japan, as convenience stores expanding the business nationwide, they promoted "wacky spicy snacks" to attract young customers (look up Karamucho), and Korea piggybacked on the fad like clockwork, as Shin Ramyun became a hit item, it automatically linked to Korean nationalisim, since then they spamming Kimchi added flavor food like no tommorow.

nakamura, you're being too self-conscious. It has nothing to do with you and our spicy dishes

I don’t give a shit, Kim Chi Gook. Canada, Russia, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan are all colder than Korea and their cuisine has zero spices.

Pay reparations for mind programming Koreans into eating too much spicy food resulting in countless severe diarrhea cases

Literally not one single people has spicy food culture that's older than 300 years apart from Mexicans
Every single Jeet, gook or other old world shitholer trying to larp as le hecking masculine spicy food lover is just a larpist that's had less contact with spicy peppers than Spaniards or Englishmen, the people that actually brought them to the old world

Spicy food became prominent in Korean cuisine primarily due to the introduction of chili peppers and their use in preserving food, particularly in the fermentation process of kimchi. The availability and affordability of chili peppers, along with their perceived health benefits, also contributed to their widespread use.

Here's a more detailed look:

1. Introduction of Chili Peppers:
Chili peppers were introduced to Korea from Japan and China, eventually becoming a staple in Korean cooking.

2. Preservation:
Chili peppers, particularly in the form of gochugaru (chili powder), were used to help preserve food, especially during the fermentation process of kimchi. The capsaicin in chili peppers has natural antimicrobial properties that inhibit bacterial growth.

3. Culinary and Health Benefits:
The pungent flavor and perceived health benefits of chili peppers, such as improved digestion and circulation, also contributed to their popularity.

4. Climate:
The climate in Korea, with its fluctuating temperatures, may have also influenced the preference for spicy food, as some believe it helps the body adapt to extreme temperatures.

5. Economic Factors:
As rice consumption increased, the demand for side dishes grew, and chili peppers became a readily available and affordable seasoning alternative to salt.

The introduction and adoption of chili peppers led to a cultural shift in Korean cuisine, where spicy flavors became deeply ingrained in various.

no one asked you gptnigga

Im british but for some reason they have some super rare haribo here that is the nicest i have ever tasted and havent seen anywhere else called sound cubes

Sorry, but it's true.

Not to mention kimchi, all the popular Korean dishes around the world, bibimbap, Korean BBQ, tteokbokki, etc. are based on a Korean sauce called gochujang made from chili peppers.

Litterty The introduction of chili peppers is nothing short of a revolution in Korean food culture. And I don't use gpt.

Karamucho (1984)
Shin Ramyun (1986)

This is truke, Karamucho started a spicy food fad in Japan, and Lotte's zainichi brother released Shin Ramyun just to follow the trend of the time, as the market filled with spicy stuff. Someone should write an article about this.

koreans put pepper spray on their food and make fun of you for not being able to eat it

kek no. that's not a korean eating that disgusting diet.

Buldak is real good shit tho
