Korea

The food in Korea is based on noodles, tofu, rice, meats and vegetables. Koreans do not eat as much meat as those in the Western part of the world, largely because red meat is costly so it is often only enjoyed at special occasions. Seafood and chicken is commonly enjoyed and the foods of Korea are often very spicy. Some common seasonings include green onion, soy sauce, red pepper paste, garlic, ginger and bean paste.
