Stone Bowl
A ''dolsot'' () or ''gopdolsot'' () is a small-sized piece of cookware or serveware made of agalmatolite, suitable for one to two servings of ''bap'' (cooked rice). In Korean cuisine, various hot rice dishes such as bibimbap or '' gulbap'' (oyster rice) as well as plain white rice can be prepared and served in ''dolsot''. As a ''dolsot'' does not cool off as soon as removed from the stove, rice continues to cook and arrives at the table still sizzling. On the bottom of a ''dolsot'', there forms a thin crust of scorched rice, to be scraped off and eaten in the case of bibimbap, or made into ''sungnyung'' (숭늉, infusion) in the case of unseasoned rice dishes. In the former case ''dolsot'' can be brushed with sesame oil beforehand to facilitate scraping. To make ''sungnyung'', the unscorched part of rice is scooped and transferred into another serving bowl right after served, and hot water or tea (usually mild grain teas such as barley tea or corn tea) is poured into the ''dol ...

Sesame Oil
Sesame oil is an edible vegetable oil derived from sesame seeds. The oil is one of the earliest-known crop-based oils. Worldwide mass modern production is limited due to the inefficient manual harvesting process required to extract the oil. Oil made from raw seeds, which may or may not be cold-pressed, is used as a cooking oil. Oil made from toasted seeds is used for its distinctive nutty aroma and taste, although it may be unsuitable for frying, which makes it taste burnt and bitter. Composition Sesame oil is composed of the following fatty acids: linoleic acid (41% of total), oleic acid (39%), palmitic acid (8%), stearic acid (5%) and others in small amounts. History Historically, sesame was cultivated more than 5000 years ago as a drought-tolerant crop which was able to grow where other crops failed. Sesame seeds were one of the first crops processed for oil as well as one of the earliest condiments. Sesame was cultivated during the Indus Valley civilization and was t ...

Cooking Vessels
Cooking, cookery, or culinary arts is the art, science and craft of using heat to prepare food for consumption. Cooking techniques and ingredients vary widely, from grilling food over an open fire to using electric stoves, to baking in various types of ovens, reflecting local conditions. Types of cooking also depend on the skill levels and training of the cooks. Cooking is done both by people in their own dwellings and by professional cooks and chefs in restaurants and other food establishments. Preparing food with heat or fire is an activity unique to humans. Archeological evidence of cooking fires from at least 300,000 years ago exists, but some estimate that humans started cooking up to 2 million years ago. The expansion of agriculture, commerce, trade, and transportation between civilizations in different regions offered cooks many new ingredients. New inventions and technologies, such as the invention of pottery for holding and boiling of water, expanded cooking tech ...

Ttukbaegi
A ''ttukbaegi'' () is a type of ''oji-gureut'', which is an ''onggi'' coated with brown-tone ash glaze. The small, black to brown earthenware vessel is a cookware/serveware used for various ''jjigae'' (stew), ''gukbap'' (soup with rice), or other boiled dishes in Korean cuisine. As a ''ttukbaegi'' retains heat and does not cool off as soon as removed from the stove, stews and soups in ''ttukbaegi'' usually arrive at the table at a bubbling boil. History The Ttukbaegi dates from the Goryeo Dynasty and has been widely used from the Joseon Dynasty up to the present day. In the Goryeo-period poem of Lee Dal Chung (), the phrase "White-makgeolli is brought to the Ttukbaegi" indicates the existence and common use of Ttukbaegi. Considering that Lee Dal Chung was a figure of the Goryeo Dynasty, it can be confirmed that Ttukbaegi was already made and used during the Goryeo Dynasty. Ttukbaegi of Jeju Island Ttukbaegi was not commercialized in Jeju Island, Jeju's food culture for long. ...

Gamasot
''Gamasot'' (), or simply ''sot'' (), is a big, heavy pot or cauldron used for Korean cooking. Origin The origins of the ‘sot’ originate in the "Chung" which is made of bronze. Researchers have speculated that copper would be easier to handle because it has a lower melting point than steel. Bronze ‘sot’ are frequently unearthed as remains of the Three Kingdoms period, because the meaning of 'Chung' was symbolic of the nation, the throne, and the industry. However, the history of iron ‘sot’ goes up to the Bronze Age much earlier than the Three Kingdoms period . The copper ‘sot’ on the Korean Peninsula were first discovered in the remains of Gojoson, which belongs to the late Bronze Age Korean copper sword culture period. A large amount of ‘sot’ is excavated from the ruins of the 'Hansa-gun' which was installed as the Gojoseon was destroyed by Han in 108 BC. In particular, the remains of ‘Nakrang-gun’ are famous for the largest number of pots among the fou ...

Bap (food)
''Bap'' ( ko, 밥) is a Korean name for cooked rice prepared by boiling rice or other grains, such as black rice, barley, sorghum, various millets, and beans, until the water has cooked away. Special ingredients such as vegetables, seafood, and meat can also be added to create different kinds of ''bap''. In the past, except for the socially wealthy class, people used to eat mixed grain rice together with beans and barley rather than only rice. In Korea, grain food centered on rice has been the most commonly used since ancient times and has established itself as a staple food in everyday diets. In Korean, the honorific terms for ''bap'' (meal) include ''jinji'' () for an elderly person, ''sura'' () for a monarch, and ''me'' () for the deceased (in the ancestral rites). Preparation Traditionally, ''bap'' was made using ''gamasot'' (a cast iron cauldron) for a large family; however, in modern times, an electronic rice cooker is usually used to cook rice. A regular heavy-bo ...

Oksusu-cha
''Oksusu-cha'' () or corn tea is a Korean tea made from corn. While ''oksusu-suyeom-cha'' () or corn silk tea refers to the tea made from corn silk, ''oksusu-cha'' can be made from corn kernels, corn silk, or a combination of both. The caffeine-free infusion is a popular hot drink in winter. Along with ''bori-cha'' (barley tea), ''oksusu-cha'' is one of the free grain teas served in many restaurants in place of water. In Gangwon Province, the tea is called ''gangnaengi-cha'' ()—''gangnaengi'' is a Gangwon dialect for "corn"—and is consumed throughout late autumn and winter in most households. Preparation Traditionally, corn kernels are dried and roasted to prepare ''oksusu-cha''. The roasted corn kernels are then boiled in water until the tea turns yellow. The tea is then strained and the boiled corn discarded. Although the drink is naturally sweet, sugar is sometimes added when a sweeter flavor is desired. Roasted corn kernels are available at groceries, traditional ma ...
