slow food


preserving korean culinary traditions

(our teacher and her niece, a student of korean slow food)...

one of the highlights of the documentary was a trip to gyeongju, the ancient capital of korea, for a lesson on korean fermentation processes. korean cuisine is the epitomy of slow food because its core ingredients are doenjang (soybean paste), gochujang (chili paste), kanjang (soy sauce) and of course kimchi... all are fermented, some for up to five years. the longer it is fermented, the higher quality and richer taste it has.
