Now, let's have Korean Food Styles^^
Korean food is largely based on rice, noodles, tofu,vegetables, and meats. Traditional Korean meals are noted for the number of side dishes (banchan) that accompany steam-cooked short-grain rice. Kimchi, a fermented, spicy vegetable dish is usually served at every meal. Korean cuisine usually involves rich seasoning with sesame oil, doenjang (fermented soybean paste), soy sauce, salt, garlic, ginger, and gochujang (red chili paste).
Here are some most popular dishes...

Grilled Pork Strips
삼겹살
Samgyupsal is another popular Korean meat dish. It consists of thick pork strips, served in the same fashion as galbi but there is no marinating involved. Sometimes it is cooked on a grill with kimchi, mushrooms, garlic, onions and consumed together. This dish is usually served with a side of lettuce, spinach, or other leafy vegetable(s), which is used to wrap a slice of cooked samgyupsal. A dab of ssamjang (usually made of kochujang or dwenjang), kimchi, or other side dishes are also added and then eaten as a whole.
Ssam refers to various leaf vegetables which are used to wrap a piece of bite-size meat, along with dwenjang, kochujang or ssamjang paste and some rice into a bundle. The vegetables used for wrapping can vary but it primarily consists of fresh red leave lettuce, sesame leaves, or parboiled cabbage leaves. Other banchans can also accomodate the meat depending on the eater's preference and also what is available on the table. Usually, freshly sliced hot peppers as well as garlic bits are added for its bold flavors and tastes.
With its combination of rice, meat, vegetables and various soybean pastes, the wrap offers a balanced intake of necessary nutrients without the greasy aftertaste that is left by many forms of meat.
