2 types of barbecue
Korean barbecue refers to a culture where people gather around a grill and grill meat.
The most commonly grilled meat parts are neck meat, pork belly, and ribs.
You can grill raw meat, but it is really delicious if you marinate it in seasoning and grill it a day later.
It is usually divided into soy sauce seasoning and red pepper paste seasoning, but these days, whole chicken seasoning is used to coat meat and then grill it.
Side ingredients that go well with barbecue
There are usually about 7 side ingredients that go well with barbecue.
A. Kimchi
B. Garlic
C. Ssamjang
D. Green onion
E. Mushroom
F. Lettuce
G. Onion
When meat is grilled, pork fat is produced and that fat contains cholesterol.
So, it is best to enjoy it with side ingredients.
Kimchi, garlic, green onions, mushrooms, and lettuce have anticancer properties and cholesterol reduction properties.
Onions help lower blood pressure.
Ssamjang helps make the meat taste more flavorful.
If you only eat meat, cholesterol cannot be broken down and accumulates in your body.
Eating it with vegetables is good for preventing cholesterol and arteriosclerosis.
Side menu that goes well with barbecue [side dish]
Banchan is a side food eaten with rice.
Below are the side foods that are eaten with barbecue.
A. Kimchi stew or soybean paste stew
B. Steamed egg custard
When eating meat, I often eat vegetables as side dishes rather than side dishes.
When Koreans eat meat, they usually put kimchi, meat, garlic, green onions, mushrooms, and ssamjang on top of lettuce, wrap it in a lettuce wrap, and eat it in one big bite.
