Rice cake soup, Traditional New year culture of Korea.
Koreans eat rice cake soup on New Year's Day.
New rice is obtained during the autumn harvest, a long circular rice cake is made from the rice, and then dried to make it easy to store.
Then, slice the circle thinly and store it in a cool place, and soak it in water a day before making rice cake soup.
Stir-fry garlic and meat in a heated bowl, cook them, pour water, boil the soup, put rice cakes, green onions, soy sauce or salt, transfer them to a bowl, and garnish them with egg garnish or roasted meat.
If you eat a bowl of rice cake soup, it means you get a year old and the round shape means a coin, so it is a food that has a hopeful message to become rich even in a new year.
Korea eats a lot of vegetables called radish, which is especially hard and has
a strong sweet taste, so it eats a lot of cooked radish dishes in winter, and the composition of a table consisting of rice cake soup, radish greens, and kimchi is perfect.
Holidays that celebrate the Korean New Year are called "New Year's Day" or "Lunar New Year." Like the U.S., there is "New Year's Day," which refers to Jan. 1, which celebrates the new year as "New Year's Day," and "New Year's Day," which has more power and takes three days off.
On Lunar New Year's Day, one of the two big holidays of the year, there have been countless types of food that have been in need since ancient times, and as it has become increasingly modernized, it has been reduced a lot these days, causing discord between couples and families in the preparation of women's advancement into society and food preparation for the holiday
After breakfast on New Year's Day, the family members sit together and bow to the grown-ups. When a person gives a bow to a grandmother, grandfather, mother, father, mother, brother, mother's husband, or wife, father's brother's husband, or wife, and father's husband or wife, adults give a small amount of pocket money as a gift to the person who gave the bow, and the pocket is the lucky bag.
In the past, hanboks used to be worn during the holidays, but since hanboks had no pockets, they were tied around waistband. Increasingly modernized, there was a culture of buying "new clothes" for the Lunar New Year, called "seolbeam" rather than hanbok, which was created by projecting a mindset related to manners of visiting adults with neat and clean clothes and appearances.
Ice
Americano
Koreans love iced americano.
There is a word "Eoljuka," which is short for "Even if I freeze to death, I will choose ice americano rather than warm americanoice americano."
The AFP news from France told that Koreans drink an average of 353 cups of coffee a year, more than double the global average.
It is common to see a iced americano in one hand, even though snow builds up on the padded hat covered up at the time of waiting for a traffic light, after eating outside the office during a brief lunch break in the winter.
Koreans' love of coffee is great, and it varies from person to person, but as soon as I wake up in the morning, I always drink americano or cafe on an empty stomach, on my way to work, or just in the morning.
A typical iced americano is two shots of espress, filled with ice, 4/6 water, and added two shots of espresso in a 500ml cup. It is standard for americano to add two shots of espress to a typical mug and hot water with about 1cm left from the top of the cup.
The American americano and cafe culture are familiar and prefer the taste.
One of the biggest reasons Koreans love ice americano is that they can inhale a lot of americano at once and refresh their overheated hair or body while working.
Korea is familiar with coffee and cafes, with the second-largest coffee consumption in the world, and is deeply embedded in life. Not only in cafes, but also in coffee-related industries, such as roasting green beans at home to suit one's preference, or putting in expensive espresso machines, are becoming indispensable culture in life.
