Food Safari

Korea (2x12)

Air date: Jun 01, 2007

Korean food is some of the healthiest on earth, with an emphasis on vegetables, meats cooked simply and without much oil and a near obsession with the fermented vegetable kimchi. Much of the food that exists today and the customs surrounding it have come from royal cuisine and the complex customs of the ancient court. The food is a study in balance with consideration given to temperature, spiciness, colour and texture along with careful presentation. Tonight, Maeve O'Meara visits Chung Jae Lee at Mapo Korean Restaurant - voted Adelaide's top Asian restaurant.
