The food I would love to try is the one that is an orangy-mixture that has rice and other things... forgot the name but it look delicious. I've seen it in k-dramas and it's usually eaten late at night...

DAY FIVE - MARCH 4th - SEAFOOD
KOREAN NAME: GAE-JANG 양념/간장 게장 ENGLISH NAME: Seasoned Blue Crabs
Yangnyum or ganjang gaejang is a Korean seafood cuisine which is made by marinating fresh raw crabs either in soy sauce or in gochujang (hot pepper paste). The term consists of the two words; gae, meaning crab, and jang which means condiment in Korean. Although gaejang originally referred only to crabs marinated in soy sauce, it has begun to be called ganjang gaejang these days to differentiate it from yangnyum gaejang.
To prepare, crabs are first thoroughly cleaned using a brush while submerged in a bowl of cold water and then rinsed thoroughly to remove the excess fishy smell. For its sauce, a mixture of soy sauce is boiled briefly along with sesame oil, lemon, sugar, finely sliced scallions, minced garlic, ginger, and finely shredded chili peppers. The hot soy sauce is poured onto the crabs in a large bowl and then cooled -- this step may be repeated multiple times by draining, re-boiling and re-pouring the sauce sauce content to enhance its flavor.
As for yangnyum gaejang, raw crabs are marinated with a mixture of gochujang sauce, ground Korean pear, onions, ginger and garlic, sesame seeds, and sesame oil. For optimal taste, marination should be for half a day to 3 full days to have its spicy, sweet and sour taste get fully intact to crab meat.
Fact: Jeju Island is famous for their own signature gaejang dish.

Crystoph, Do you know the name of the clear noodles you see in some dishes? In English, we generally call them "cellophane noodles" or "glass noodles". In Korea, they are called dangmyeon (당면).

Thanks! I'm stopping by a local Asian market tomorrow and thought I'd pick some up and try them. BTW, how are you using Hangul on here? I can't figure it out.

BTW, how are you using Hangul on here? I can't figure it out. It's not related to the message board. I have my PCs set-up with an alternate keyboard, which allows me to toggle between the standard English keyboard and a Hangul keyboard. Any Windows PC can easily be set up to do it. It's really not that hard to do. For instructions on how to set it up on your system, see here: How to change keyboard language in Windows

Yes, most smartphones have such capabilities too, but how to set it up would vary.
The same Windows is sold all over world, so it has the capability to use virtually any language on the planet. You can set up multiple alternate keyboards, so you can use any character sets you want. You keep your English default keyboard and can toggle between the others with an icon on your taskbar.

Russian to type out the Russian Cyrillic alphabet, German to correct my spelling in that language, and you know what? I don't even know why I have a Dutch keyboard, as it just ends up attempting to correct whatever Afrikaans I type into it. Afrikaans is a daughter language of Dutch, and has a very simplified grammar and spelling, almost no verb conjugations (prefixes are used instead), etc. An Afrikaner must sound amusing to the average Dutchman.

Well, Afrikaners are the whites descended from the Durch setters who arrived in the country... and then you have the white English South Africans...
