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!

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

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.

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.

Boo-dae-chee-gae is the easiest thing where you actually make something.

I'll post a recipe thingy like Chill did sometime this week for a bunch of Korean food I've made before.

I drop round a tiny Korean food place when I need my fix. I can make Korean food (ramen doesn't count) from BBB to Ghim Bap but this little place in London is actually just amazing. A full Ghim Bap roll for £2.40/3.50. They even served Iced Green Tea Latte.

Some pics I took a on Saturday for a photography project:

For anyone who wants a visit, it's called the Seoul Bakery and it's round the back of Centre Point @ Tottenham Court Road.

I went out for Korean BBQ on my birthday a few months back. Tried this new place that was said to be amazing, and had an all you can eat menu for ~$15. Was about a 15 menu item, and we tried about 10 of them (leaving out the squid, tripe, and some sort of soup). This was easily my favorite dish. The texture was amazing, and it was perfectly spiced to give a bit of a kick.

Is it just me or does anyone else think Korea probably has the least sophisticated food culture among the northeast asian countries? (let's forget about the rest because with the exception of Thai, and certain varieties of Indian cuisine, none of it is worthy of mention).

I mean, China has a vast assortment of high quality meals, and we all know sushi > kimchi.

The dolsot is the hotpot, I think you'd just have bibimbap otherwise, but you can simulate it really easily by frying the rice in sesame oil without stirring it for about 3 minutes. That'll give you that crispy layer of rice on the bottom that will get distributed through when you stir it.
I enjoy Starcraft when I'm not too busy being dynamic and attractive.

Well there's two reasons:
1) When we were served fish back in school it was something you thought a cat had barfed up on your plate. It was DISGUSTING, even parents who visited school refused to eat it.
2) I've had soooo many fishbones down my throat, you always miss a few and once I accidentally eat one I just can't continue the meal.

If you wanna make an delicious dish where you can't really do anything work its Bibimbap. (without the dolsot, that is just the stone pot, which I more of an extra than a necessity in my mind.) Its basically rice mixed with stuff you already know. Carrots, spinach, zucchini, minced beef. Just add to that a lot of garlic, bean sprouts, and korean hot pepper paste and it tastes like real korean food :D

Easy to follow recipe: http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/bibimbap

Kimchi literally IS the hardest Korean food to make... but with kimchi you can essentially put it into anything and cook up something good.

Sam-gyeop-sal is pretty much uncured bacon; if you know how to cook bacon you can cook this.

Most simple way of cooking Bu-dae-jji-gae is using instant ramen noodles and some ham/hotdogs/spam, etc.

Bokkeumbap - put desired veggies/meat and rice then cook. easy!
