So today I dedcided to FINALLY check up on some korean recepies and I've got some newbie questions:

First of all I know NOTHING about korean food, but it just looks and sound so delicious! So I found a guide on how to make kimchi (ggakdugi kimchi) but it also mentioned that you eat it as a sidedish if I understood the site correctly?

So I'm basically asking: what can I make to go with the kimchi? I dislike fish, so please no fish dishes, but other then that I'm open to suggestions!

You could also make bulgogi..

Kamjatang is the greatest stew on earth. Probably not practical to cook for just one person though.

Dolsot Bibimbap is pretty straightforward.

Here's a useful site.
You should try the JaJangMyun.
That stuff is soooo good.

kimbab and bibimbap both go just fine with kimchi. In fact you can eat kimchi with just about anything

Hard to say - it depends on what you like.

Samgyupsal is super easy to make and pretty good with just lettuce and ssamjang.
Sundubu jjigae is my favourite stew and reasonably easy to make, it just has a lot of ingredients and takes a bit of time.
Dolsot bibimbap is easy too and pretty good - I just don't know if you can make it without the hotpot.

I would just go kimbapchunguk style - mandu ramyeon and chamchikimbap haha (dumplings in spicy ramen with tuna "sushi")

Why are you set on cooking korean food if you've never had it? Why don't you try it at a restaurant first so you know what flavour you're trying to achieve?

Thanks for all the replies guys! I'm looking trough all the recepies and having a hard time deciding what to make

Chill:
I live in the northern parts of sweden, where you're lucky if you can get chinese food

No korean resturants anywhere close to where I live. So if I want to try something diffrent I basically have to make it myself.

ninjaedit: just had a look and the closest korean resturant is 918km (or 570 miles) away lol

Go on MSN more often >.< I saw your message when I woke up this morning but you had already left

The only korean food the international masses really see is korean BBQ, which while 100% awesome, is only a small subset of korean cuisine.

on that note I now want some korean bbq!

There's also the obvious option of making kimchi fried rice. It's a very popular and fairly simple dish, especially if you've made any kind of fried rice before.

Also, is buying kimchi not an option for you? Seems like a big hassle to make kimchi yourself.

It's so funny to listen to people talking about Korean food when I eat it all the time.

Kimchi is quite hard to make. Back when I was in high school, all the church mom's would come over to our house and would make kimchi the whole morning. The entire process was ridiculous as there would be so much shit put into making the most delicious kimchi possible.

There are also variations of taste with kimchi as fermenting it gives it different flavors.

Fun fact, there is a museum in Korea based on Kimchi. I don tknow if it was the same one, but the shortest legitimate tour is like 11 hours or something.

Now what is good with Kimchi?

EVERYTHING.

When I was home, my parents would literally eat it with everything. Rice, Meat, Lasagana, Cerel. Everything is so good with Kimchi.

My personal favorite is Kimchi bokembab (kimchi fried rice), or om rice (omlette with fried rice inside) with ketchup and kimchi.

But like Chill said, Samgyupsal is easy and great to eat with kimchi, rice, and lettuce. Though I think chadobaege is easier to cook.
