A complex interaction between cultural trends and the natural environment has evolved Korean cuisine into what it is in modern times.
Mainly based on meats, seafood, rice and vegetables, traditional Korean meals are reknowned for the numerous side dishes that are served with steam-cooked, short-grain white rice. Among the side dishes will almost always be served Kimchi, which is a pickled, spicy, fermented assortment of vegetables – most often bok choy and/or daikon raadishes.
Types of dishes and their ingredients do vary by provinces a regions. Quite a few of the regional dishes have become national favorites, as well. In all regions, however, meals are eaten, traditionally, under regulated etiquette according to Korean cultural standards.
