Most of us have heard of Kimchi, the fermented Korean dish that went from being fairly unknown in Sweden, to suddenly appearing in every supermarket and home. But the Korean cuisine has so much more to offer. Here are some Korean dishes, side dishes and sauces you need to try:
Bibimbap
Maybe the most famous Korean dish, Bibimbap, consists of rice topped with fresh vegetables, marinated meat, fried egg and gochujang - a Korean chili paste.

Bulgogi
Another well-known dish is Bulgogi. Thinly sliced meat is marinated in a flavourful sauce, and thereafter barbequed to add a smoky flavor. This dish can be eaten with rice or even in a wrap or taco for a fusion take on the traditional dish.
