A dish made with beef short ribs braised and simmered for several hours with other ingredients such as vegetables, soy sauce, and sesame oil. It\u2019s a dish with a sweet and salty flavor.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n
Korean barbecue (K-BBQ)<\/h3>\n
Another Korean specialty well known abroad is barbecue. The country is full of specialized restaurants, some open 24\/7.<\/p>\n
The concept is simple: a grill is placed at the center of the table. You order the meat you want, it arrives raw, and you grill it to your liking. Sometimes the staff may cook it for you.<\/p>\n
The meat is served with the traditional banchan, as well as raw vegetables that you can grill at the same time (onions, garlic, mushrooms\u2026). You can also order rice or soups and stews as sides.<\/p>\n
The most popular and cheapest meat is pork, called samgyeopsal (\uc0bc\uacb9\uc0b4). It\u2019s a favorite meal for students on weekends, either before going out partying or after a big night out.<\/p>\n
To eat like a true Korean, grill a piece of meat, dip it in sauce, then wrap it in a fresh lettuce leaf along with some other banchan.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t

Being vegetarian in Korea!<\/strong><\/p>\nAs you\u2019ve probably noticed, meat is omnipresent in Korean cuisine. Vegetarian restaurants certainly exist if you look for them.<\/p>\n
When ordering at a restaurant, don\u2019t hesitate to specify that you don\u2019t eat meat. Sometimes you\u2019ll be told there\u2019s no meat\u2026 but they might still serve you ham, so be as clear as possible.
