You Yanks eat to much, your sandwiches look like skyscrapers and your servings are way oversized for a Britt
ZapperZ said:We love spicy dishes, and one of the cuisine that is our favorite is Korean food. While the typical Korean restaurant in the US have the bulgogi, etc., I tend to go for the ones that I see other Korean patrons go for. And one thing for sure, they love their soups!
My most favorite Korean soup is something called Yukgaejang, which is a spicy, shredded beef soup. Oh my! If they ask you for the level of spiciness, and you tell them to make it authentic, be prepared to have plenty of napkins, because you will have plenty of flop sweat! But it is not all heat. It is very tasty, and we slurped on the broth till it is all gone!
Another dish that isn't common, but something I like quite a bit is the cold noodle dish. I forgot what this one is called, but it is a spicy cold noodle dish with vegetables. It is also mixed with kimchee spices and has a nice, pungent aroma and taste.
And of course, you can't have Korean food without sampling the banchan, the side dishes that comes with your meal. I can just eat these things with rice and I would be happy.
My favorite Korean restaurant around here is very old school. They still use charcoal grill, not gas grill, at your table when you order something that you cook for yourself, such as the bulgogi. You don't find those that often.

StatGuy2000 said:It's curious that your banchan doesn't seem to include kimchi, as far as I can see in the photos you've submitted -- in every Korean restaurant I've ever eaten, kimchi is always included. BTW, the other two dishes look very good -- I'll try and see if I could order it when I visit some Korean restaurants (there are many such restaurants in Toronto).
