Gomul
''Gomul'' () refers to a number of powdered coatings, toppings, fillings, or dips in Korean cuisine. Uses ''Gomul'' is used to improve the appearance and taste of ''tteok'' (rice cake), including ''injeolmi'', '' danja'', and ''gyeongdan'', as well as between-layer fillings for ''siru-tteok'' (steamed rice cake). It helps with even cooking of steamed rice cakes, being the less dense layer (compared to the rice flour layer, which tend to turn stickier as it steams) through which steam passes more easily. ''Gomul'' is also used for topping ''bingsu'' (shaved ice). Sometimes, soybean ''gomul'' is served with grilled ''samgyeopsal'' (pork belly), with meat dipped in the soybean powder when eaten. Varieties and preparation Red bean or mung bean ''gomul'' is used in winter, while soybean or sesame ''gomul,'' which don't spoil as fast, are preferred in summer.

Soybean
The soybean, soy bean, or soya bean (''Glycine max'') is a species of legume native to East Asia, widely grown for its edible bean, which has numerous uses. Traditional unfermented food uses of soybeans include soy milk, from which tofu and tofu skin are made. Fermented soy foods include soy sauce, fermented bean paste, nattō, and tempeh. Fat-free (defatted) soybean meal is a significant and cheap source of protein for animal feeds and many packaged meals. For example, soybean products, such as textured vegetable protein (TVP), are ingredients in many meat and dairy substitutes. Soybeans contain significant amounts of phytic acid, dietary minerals and B vitamins. Soy vegetable oil, used in food and industrial applications, is another product of processing the soybean crop. Soybean is the most important protein source for feed farm animals (that in turn yields animal protein for human consumption).

Microwave
Microwave is a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from about one meter to one millimeter corresponding to frequencies between 300 MHz and 300 GHz respectively. Different sources define different frequency ranges as microwaves; the above broad definition includes both UHF and EHF (millimeter wave) bands. A more common definition in radio-frequency engineering is the range between 1 and 100 GHz (wavelengths between 0.3 m and 3 mm). In all cases, microwaves include the entire SHF band (3 to 30 GHz, or 10 to 1 cm) at minimum. Frequencies in the microwave range are often referred to by their IEEE radar band designations: S, C, X, Ku, K, or Ka band, or by similar NATO or EU designations. The prefix ' in ''microwave'' is not meant to suggest a wavelength in the micrometer range. Rather, it indicates that microwaves are "small" (having shorter wavelengths), compared to the radio waves used prior to microwave te ...

Croffle
The croffle is a hybrid of a croissant and waffle. It was popularized in South Korea and then spread throughout the world. The concept is reminiscent of another pastry, the Cronut which is a croissant and donut hybrid which was created by Dominique Ansel. Description The croissant and waffle are both popular breakfast items; the croffle combines the buttery layers of the croissant with the crispiness of the waffle. Furthermore, the waffle patterning allows the pastry to catch syrups, sauces, or other toppings. Endless sweet and/or savory combinations are possible (e.g. avocado and feta, lemon cheesecake, and Nutella and banana). History Although it was popularized in South Korea, Irish pastry chef and TV show host, Louise Lennox, is sometimes credited with having inventing the pastry. Lennox collaborated with bakery chain Cuisine de France at a 2017 pop-up called La Petite Boulangerie in Dublin, Ireland where the croffle was the pièce de résistance. However, a 2015 ''Food & Wi ...
