Gejang
''Gejang'' (게장) or ''gejeot'' (게젓) is a variety of ''jeotgal'', salted fermented seafood in Korean cuisine, which is made by marinating fresh raw crabs either in ''ganjang'' (soy sauce) or in a sauce based on chili pepper powder. The term consists of the two words; ''ge'', meaning "a crab", and ''jang'' which means "condiment" in Korean. Although ''gejang'' originally referred only to crabs marinated in soy sauce, it has begun to be called ''ganjang-gejang'' (간장게장) these days to differentiate it from ''yangnyeom-gejang'' (양념게장). The latter is a relatively new dish that emerged since the restaurant industry began to thrive in South Korea. "Yangnyeom" literally means "seasoning" or "seasoned" in Korean but refers to the spicy sauce made with chili pepper powder. Gyeongsang, Jeolla, and Jeju Island are famous for their own characteristic ''gejang''. It is a representative speciality of Yeosu in South Jeolla Province, and a traditional Jeolla cuisine dish.

Jeotgal
''Jeotgal'' () or ''jeot'' (), translated as salted seafood, is a category of salted preserved dishes made with seafood such as shrimps, oysters, clams, fish, and roe. Depending on the ingredients, ''jeotgal'' can range from flabby, solid pieces to clear, broth-like liquid. Solid ''jeotgal'' are usually eaten as ''banchan'' (side dishes). Liquid ''jeotgal'', called ''aekjeot'' () or fish sauce, is popularly used in kimchi seasoning, as well as in various soups and stews (''guk'', ''jijimi'', ''jjigae''). As a condiment, jeotgal with smaller bits of solid ingredients such as ''saeu-jeot'' (shrimp ''jeotgal'') is commonly served as a dipping sauce with pork dishes (''bossam'', ''jokbal'', ''samgyeopsal''), '' sundae'' (Korean sausage), '' hoe'' (raw fish), and a number of soups and stews. History Fermented foods were widely available in Three Kingdoms of Korea, as ''Sānguózhì'', a Jin Chinese historical text published in 289, mentions that the Goguryeo Koreans are skilled in ...

Ganjang
Soy sauce (also called simply soy in American English and soya sauce in British English) is a liquid condiment of Chinese origin, traditionally made from a fermented paste of soybeans, roasted grain, brine, and '' Aspergillus oryzae'' or ''Aspergillus sojae'' molds. It is considered to contain a strong umami taste. Soy sauce in its current form was created about 2,200 years ago during the Western Han dynasty of ancient China, and it has spread throughout East and Southeast Asia where it is used in cooking and as a condiment. Use and storage Soy sauce can be added directly to food, and is used as a dip or salt flavor in cooking. It is often eaten with rice, noodles, and sushi or sashimi, or can also be mixed with ground wasabi for dipping. Bottles of soy sauce for salty seasoning of various foods are common on restaurant tables in many countries. Soy sauce can be stored at room temperature. History East Asia China Soy sauce (, ) is considered almost as old as soy ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Yellow Sea
The Yellow Sea is a marginal sea of the Western Pacific Ocean located between mainland China and the Korean Peninsula, and can be considered the northwestern part of the East China Sea. It is one of four seas named after common colour terms (the others being the Black Sea, the Red Sea and the White Sea), and its name is descriptive of the golden-yellow colour of the silt-laden water discharged from major rivers. The innermost bay of northwestern Yellow Sea is called the Bohai Sea (previously Pechihli Bay or Chihli Bay), into which flow some of the most important rivers of northern China, such as the Yellow River (through Shandong province and its capital Jinan), the Hai River (through Beijing and Tianjin) and the Liao River (through Liaoning province). The northeastern extension of the Yellow Sea is called the Korea Bay, into which flow the Yalu River, the Chongchon River and the Taedong River. Since 1 November 2018, the Yellow Sea has also served as the location of "peace ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Portunus Trituberculatus
''Portunus trituberculatus'', the ''gazami'' crab, South Korea's blue crab or horse crab, is the most widely fished species of crab in the world. It is found off the coasts of East Asia and is closely related to ''Portunus armatus''. Fishery ''Portunus trituberculatus'' is the world's most heavily fished crab species, with over 300,000 tonnes being caught annually, 98% of it off the coast of China. This is because it is considered highly nutritious, especially in regard to crab cream (roe). Distribution ''Portunus trituberculatus'' is found off the coasts of Japan, Korea, China, Palau and Taiwan. Description The carapace may reach wide, and from front to back. ''P. trituberculatus'' may be distinguished from the closely related (and also widely fished) ''P. armatus'' by the number of broad teeth on the front of the carapace (three in ''P. trituberculatus'', four in ''P. armatus'') and on the inner margin of the merus (four in ''P. trituberculatus'', three in ''P. armatu ...

Freshwater Crab
Around 1,300 species of freshwater crabs are distributed throughout the tropics and subtropics, divided among eight families. They show direct development and maternal care of a small number of offspring, in contrast to marine crabs, which release thousands of planktonic larvae. This limits the dispersal abilities of freshwater crabs, so they tend to be endemic to small areas. As a result, a large proportion are threatened with extinction. Systematics More than 1,300 described species of freshwater crabs are known, out of a total of 6,700 species of crabs across all environments. The total number of species of freshwater crabs, including undescribed species, is thought to be up to 65% higher, potentially up to 2,155 species, although most of the additional species are currently unknown to science. They belong to eight families, each with a limited distribution, although various crabs from other families are also able to tolerate freshwater conditions ( euryhaline) or are secon ...

Body Temperature
Thermoregulation is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain boundaries, even when the surrounding temperature is very different. A thermoconforming organism, by contrast, simply adopts the surrounding temperature as its own body temperature, thus avoiding the need for internal thermoregulation. The internal thermoregulation process is one aspect of homeostasis: a state of dynamic stability in an organism's internal conditions, maintained far from thermal equilibrium with its environment (the study of such processes in zoology has been called physiological ecology). If the body is unable to maintain a normal temperature and it increases significantly above normal, a condition known as hyperthermia occurs. Humans may also experience lethal hyperthermia when the wet bulb temperature is sustained above for six hours. The opposite condition, when body temperature decreases below normal levels, is known as hypothermia. It results when the homeostatic c ...

Korean Traditional Medicine
Traditional Korean medicine (known in North Korea as Koryo medicine) refers to the forms of traditional medicine practiced in Korea. History Korean medicine traditions originated in ancient and prehistoric times and can be traced back as far as 3000 B.C. when stone and bone needles were found in North Hamgyong Province, in present-day North Korea. Korean medicine originated from Korea. In Gojoseon, where the founding myth of Korea is recorded, there is a story of a tiger and a bear who wanted to reincarnate in human form and who ate wormwood and garlic. In '' Jewang Ungi'' (제왕운기), which was written around the time of ''Samguk Yusa'', wormwood and garlic are described as 'edible medicine', showing that, even in times when incantatory medicine was the mainstream, medicinal herbs were given as curatives in Korea. Medicinal herbs at this time were used as remedial treatment such as easing the pain or tending injury, along with knowing what foods were good for health. Mor ...
