Vol 53. Korean Food from the Oceans and Rivers
The Source of Life: Korean Food from the Oceans and Rivers
Nature and HANSIK
Water is the source of life.
Regardless of the area of the world,
water is the origin of civilization
and was often a subject of worship.
In ancient Korea,
women would pray for the health
and well-being of their families
in front of a bowl of clean water.
Many of the ingredients of Korean food
come from the oceans
that surround the Korean Peninsula
or the large, clean rivers that crisscross it.
Despite having a small national territory,
ranking 100th internationally in terms of size,
Korea boasts a vast range
of culinary ingredients thanks to its water.
The July 2022 issue of Korean Food Lifestyle Magazine
reminds us of the value of water
during these hot summer months
and spotlights stories on dishes made with fresh ingredients
from our rivers and the oceans.
