The first wall you hit after moving to Europe is missing the food you grew up with. Local supermarket ingredients simply do not get you there. These are the ten basics that keep turning up in the shopping baskets of people who have lived here for a decade.
๐ฆ The checklist
| # | Item | Why it earns its place |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | ๐ซ Gochujang | Where bibimbap, stew and tteokbokki begin |
| 2 | ๐ฅข Korean soy sauce | Different salt level and aroma from local soy sauce |
| 3 | ๐ฐ Sesame oil | One drop finishes a vegetable side dish |
| 4 | ๐ Ramen multipack | Emergency supply and comfort food at once |
| 5 | ๐ Korean rice | A japonica variety with a stickiness of its own |
| 6 | ๐ฅฌ Kimchi | Needs no explanation |
| 7 | ๐ Seasoned seaweed | Turns a plain bowl of rice into a meal |
| 8 | ๐ Canned tuna & fish cake | The protein base for stews and stir-fries |
| 9 | ๐ง Minced garlic (frozen) | The first step in almost every Korean recipe |
| 10 | ๐ถ๏ธ Gochugaru | The colour and depth of kimchi and soups |
