• 육개장과 고추기름 (chili oil); 웰빙에 신경써는 외국인들은 육계장에 가미하는 고추기름을 고기에서 나오는 동물성 지방으로 오해하는 경우가 많다. 이를 감안해, 써빙진들이 이 사실을 잘 설명하도록 교육한다면, 건강에 신경쓰는 계층들의 첫 한식경험을 보다 산뜻하게 도울 수 있지않을까?
• Yuk gae-jang & chili oil; Beautiful shimmering red you see on the surface of Yuk gae-jang is not what you may think it is. Korean soups are made from healthy lean stock or broth with all the fat skimmed off, already in the preparation stage. The beautiful red shimmer comes from the chili oil dashed over the soup for an excitingly spicy, yet con-currently rich mouth-feel. Chili oil is made from vegetable oil/sesame oil & cayenne pepper low-heat infusion.
