Sungnyung
''Sungnyung'' () is a Traditional food, traditional Korean infusion made from boiled scorched rice. Preparation This drink is typically made from ''nurungji'', the roasted (but not charred) crust of rice that forms on the bottom of a pot after cooking rice. Water is poured on this brown crust and the contents are put to a simmer until the water gains enough flavor of the scorched rice.Nurungji

History

Records of ''sungnyung'' can be found in the late Joseon era documents of ''Imwŏn kyŏngjeji'' (). Rice in Korea was traditionally made by using a heavy iron cauldron (like a Dutch oven), with the rice being cooked until all water had been boiled away and a crust made on the bottom of the pot. Making ''sungnyung'' would not only prevent waste of the remaining ri ...

Dolsot
A ''dolsot'' () or ''gopdolsot'' () is a small-sized piece of cookware or serveware made of agalmatolite, suitable for one to two servings of ''bap (food), 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 is 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 being served, and hot water or tea (usually mild-grain teas such as bori-cha, barley tea or oksusu-cha, co ...

Bap (food)
''Bap'' () 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'' (가마솥, 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-bot ...

Bori-cha
Barley tea is a roasted-grain-based infusion made from barley. It is a staple across many East Asian countries such as China, Japan, and Korea. It has a toasty, bitter flavor. In Korea, the tea is consumed either hot or cold, often taking the place of drinking water in many homes and restaurants. In Japan, it is usually served cold and is a popular summertime refreshment. The tea is also widely available in tea bags or bottled in Korea and Japan. Etymology In China, barley tea is called ''dàmài-chá'' (; ) or ''mài-chá'' (; ), in which ''dàmài'' (; ) or ''mài'' (; ) means "barley" and ''chá'' () means "tea". In Japan, barley tea is called ''mugi-cha'' (), which shares the same Chinese characters as Chinese ''mài-chá'' (; ), or ''mugi-yu'' (; ), in which ''yu'' (; ) also means "hot water". In Korea, barley tea is called ''bori-cha'' (), in which the native Korean ''bori'' () means "barley" and Sino-Korean ''cha'' () shares the same Chinese character meaning "tea". ...

Sikhye
''Sikhye'' (, also spelled ''shikhye'' or ''shikeh''; also occasionally termed ''dansul'' or ''gamju'') is a traditional sweet Korean rice beverage, usually served as a dessert. It is a popular beverage in South Korea, often found in the beverage sections of convenience stores. It is a drink made by fermenting rice with malt to give it a sweet taste. In addition to its liquid ingredients, ''sikhye'' contains grains of cooked rice and in some cases pine nuts. It is similar to the Chinese ''jiuniang'' and Japanese ''amazake''. Preparation ''Sikhye'' is made by pouring malt water onto cooked rice. The malt water steeps in the rice at typically 62 degrees Celsius until grains of rice appear on the surface. The liquid is filtered and boiled until it gets sweet enough (no sugar is added to this drink). In South Korea and in overseas Korean grocery stores, ''sikhye'' is readily available in cans or plastic bottles. One of the largest South Korean producers of ''sikhye'' is the Vilac c ...

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.

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 mark ...

Korean Cuisine
Korean cuisine is the set of foods and culinary styles which are associated with Korean culture. This cuisine has evolved through centuries of social and political change. Originating from ancient Prehistoric Korea, agricultural and nomadic traditions in Korea and southern Manchuria, Korean cuisine reflects a complex interaction of the natural environment and different cultural trends. Korean cuisine is largely based on rice, vegetables, seafood and (at least in South Korea) meats. Dairy is largely absent from the traditional Korean diet. Traditional Korean meals are named for the number of side dishes () that accompany steaming, steam-cooked short-grain rice. Kimchi is served at nearly every meal. Commonly used ingredients include sesame oil, (fermented bean paste), Korean soy sauce, soy sauce, salt, garlic, ginger, (chili pepper, pepper flakes), (fermented red chili paste) and napa cabbage. Ingredients and dishes vary by province. Many regional dishes have become nat ...

Genmaicha
is a Japanese brown rice green tea consisting of green tea mixed with Roasting, roasted popped brown rice. It is sometimes referred to colloquially as "popcorn tea" because a few grains of the rice pop during the roasting process and resemble popcorn, or as "people's tea", as the rice served as a filler and reduced the price of the tea, making it historically more available for poorer Japanese. Today all segments of society drink genmaicha. It was also used by people fasting for religious purposes or who found themselves to be between meals for long periods of time. The sugar and starch from the rice cause the tea to have a warm, full, nutty flavor. It is considered easy to drink and makes the stomach feel better. Tea steeped from genmaicha has a light yellow hue. Its flavor is mild and combines the fresh grassy flavor of green tea with the aroma of the roasted rice. Genmaicha is also sold with matcha (powdered green tea) added to it. This product is called . ''Matcha-iri genm ...
