Korea Observer

I visited my friends in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Vancouver, Canada, and I tried to immerse them in Korean food by letting them taste several dishes: samgyupsal, tteokbokki, japchae and bulgogi. Dinner in Vancouver: I prepared samgyupsal and tteokbokki for friends and we bought several Korean side dishes and they loved it.

By Kim Yong-ja This is one of the most elaborate dishes in Korean cuisine, served as an appetizer in the royal court. Quite often it appears on the cover of a cookbook. “Gujeolpan” is a name of a tray that has nine sections. Nowadays they also make ``Ojeolpan” (Five-Section Tray) as a simplified version.
