 | | The basic flavours of Korea include garlic, ginger, fl pepper, spring onions (scallions), soy sauce, sesame oil, bean paste, toasted sesame seeds and red chilli, plus the judicious use of sugar and rice vinegar. |
 | | In contrast with most Asian cuisines, there is great emphasis upon meat, beef in particular, although pork and chicken also play an important role. |
 | | As in all Asian cuisines, there is an acute awareness of balancing the key flavour components of salt, sweet, hot, sour and bitter. |
