Find the Hidden Flavors of Jinjinbara Korean Restaurant
Hanjeongsik, the Korean traditional meal, is a recommendation for any foreign traveler visiting Korea. It is quite on the pricey side for a meal, however, it is still very popular since it offers a meal featuring Korea’s abundance of traditional side dishes. Ready? Let’s go discover the hidden flavors of Hanjeongsik at Jinjinbara Korean Restaurant.
#Korean Hors D’oeuvres to Enhance Your Appetite
Many Korean traditional hors d’oeuvres often have a hint of sweet and sour flavor to enhance your appetite. They include the sweet and sour green salad, cold bulgogi buckwheat noodle salad, chiljeolpan (platter of seven delicacies), and more. Here’s one interesting fact! The reason why all of these 7 hors d’oeuvres are served cold is because gradually moving onto warmer foods helps digestion!
#In Harmony with Entrees
Once the hors d’oeuvres are finished, entrees are then served. The main dishes carry the harmonious characteristics of the ingredients. For example, the rather greasy, grilled toothfish is served with green onion salad, and jeon (Korean pancake), prawn osaekseon (five-color prawns), galbijjim (Korean braised short ribs) are served with a clam broth. The sense of caring that goes into the preparation of Korean cuisine significantly adds to its appeal.
# Onto the Next, Bansang
Since the main dishes were quite a lot for many to handle, for those who are trying Hanjeongsik for the first time may find bansang a bit overwhelming. So, it is served with nurungji (crusted cooked rice) soup, spicy jjigae (stew-like soup), a small serving of rice, and 6 light side dishes. In fact, a regular Korean meal is rather close to bansang, not hanjeongsik; Koreans don’t eat hanjeongsik every day!
#Finish Things Off Nicely with Dessert
For dessert, a piece of fruit, rice cake, and beverage are served. If you enjoy the omija (five-flavor fruit) tea, you will have enjoyed a great meal that started and finished with that sweet and sour flavor. Finish off your meal with a delectable dessert!
