Jumbo sized Buckwheat Noodles - 쟁반국수

Introduction
Jaengban-guksu (cold buckwheat noodle platter) has been popular since the 1990's when mak-guksu (mixed buckwheat noodles) restaurants first began to offer 2~3 portion of Makguksu on large platters, with mounds of delectable garnishes. The noodles, mixed with spicy sauce, fall somewhere between Bibim-guksu and Bibim-naengmyeon.
Jaengban-guksu literally means 'platter noodle.' One may wonder why noodles are served on a platter instead of individual bowls. But that's the key point. Jaengban-guksu is basically Bibim-guksu on a platter. Mixed with several kinds of vegetables, Jaengban-guksu epitomizes the Korean style of dining: mixing and sharing. The Korean practice of eating from the same dish signifies trust and intimacy. Another merit of Jaengban-guksu is that individuals can eat as much or little as they want.
Jaengban-guksu is best described as a dish made of 'half noodles, half vegetables.' The vegetables include lettuce, crown daisy, cucumber and carrot. Boiled beef and eggs are also tossed in, but the main ingredient is definately vegetables. It is a low-fat, low-calorie meal and perfect for weight-watchers.
Buckwheat, the main ingredient, contains ten to twelve percent protein. Most of all, the abundance of essential amino acids such as lysine and tryptophan, which are lacking in most other grains, make it one of the most nutritious foods.

Ingredients
6 ounces buckwheat (memil guksu/soba) or green tea (nokcha) noodles (or somyeon/somen)
1 Korean cucumber (or Kirby/pickling cucumber), julienned
1 medium carrot, julienned
3 to 4 red cabbage leaves, julienned
3 to 4 Romaine lettuce leaves, thinly sliced
6-8 perilla leaves (kkaennip), thinly sliced
2-3 ounces alfalfa and/or radish sprouts
1 boiled egg (optional)
Sauce
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2-3 teaspoons Korean red chili pepper flakes (gochugaru) (adjust to taste)
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons orange juice (or apple or any other fruit juice)
2 tablespoons vinegar (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon hot mustard powder (gyeoja), mixed with 2 teaspoons water (optional)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
pinch pepper

Directions
Mix all sauce ingredients and keep it cool in the fridge.
Prepare the vegetables and keep them cool in the fridge or in ice water (drain well before using).
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions (5-6 minutes). Drain quickly and shock in cold water to stop cooking. Drain and rinse in icy cold water until the noodles are very cold. Make two or three mounds. Place the mounds in a colander to drain.
Place the noodles in the middle of a large platter, and arrange the cold vegetables nicely around the noodles. At the table, you can toss everything together with the sauce or let each person take his or her portion and then mix it with the sauce to taste.

History Tteokbokki is a traditional Korean street food which can be usually purchased from street vendors also called 'pojangmacha' in Korean. The history of tteokbokki brings us back to the late Joseon dynasty. There are many hypotheses and controversy about its real origin.

Changdeokgung Palace - 창덕궁

Gambar
Introduction Changdeokgung Palace was the second royal villa built following the construction of Gyeokbukgung Palace in 1405. It was the principal palace for many of the Joseon kings and is the most well-preserved of the five remaining royal Joseon palace. The palace grounds are comprised of a public palace area, a royal family residence building, and the rear garden. Known as a place of rest for the kings, the rear garden boasts a gigantic tree that is over 300 years old, a small pond, and a pavilion. The palace gained in importance starting from the time of 9th king of Joseon, Seongjong, when a number of kings began using it as a place of residence. Unfortunately, the palace was burned down by angry citizens in 1592 when the royal family fled their abode during the Japanese Invasion of Korea. Thanks to Gwanghaegun, the palace was restored in 1611. Even today, it holds a number of cultural treasures such as Injeongjeon Hall, Daejojeon Hall, Seonjeongjeon Hall, and Nakseonjae. Ch...
