Koryo-saram Cuisine
Koryo-saram are ethnic Koreans of the Post-Soviet states, former Soviet Union. They have a distinct style of cuisine that is descended from Korean cuisine and influenced by the cuisines of various countries they have lived in.

The cuisine has achieved significant popularity throughout the former Soviet Union, with dishes like ''morkovcha'' widely available in grocery stores.

Morkovcha
''Morkovcha'' (, ; Koryo-mar: ; Russian: ), also known as Korean-style carrots; or Korean carrot salad, is a spicy marinated carrot salad. It is a dish in Koryo-saram cuisine, and is a variant of kimchi. History Koryo-saram (ethnic Koreans located in post-Soviet countries) created the dish as they did not have supplies of napa cabbage, the main ingredient in traditional kimchi.

Beef Dishes
Beef is the culinary name for meat from cattle (''Bos taurus''). Beef can be prepared in various ways; cuts are often used for steak, which can be cooked to varying degrees of doneness, while trimmings are often ground or minced, as found in most hamburgers. Beef contains protein, iron, and vitamin B12. Along with other kinds of red meat, high consumption is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer and coronary heart disease, especially when processed. Beef has a high environmental impact, being a primary driver of deforestation with the highest greenhouse gas emissions of any agricultural product. In prehistoric times, humans hunted aurochs and later domesticated them. Since that time, numerous breeds of cattle have been bred specifically for the quality or quantity of their meat. Today, beef is the third most widely consumed meat in the world, after pork and poultry. As of 2018, the United States, Brazil, and China were the largest producers of beef. Some ...

Acorn Noodle Soup
Acorn noodle soup, also called ''dotoriguksu'' (), is a noodle soup consisting of Korean noodles made from acorn flour or starch, salt, and a combination of grain-based flour (usually buckwheat or wheat). Acorn noodle soup may be made from acorns collected from red or white oak species and each oak species gives a distinct flavour. Ingredient labels do not list from which type of tree acorns are gathered, most likely owing to the large number of oak species and increasing oak hybridization (especially among white oak varieties), which makes it difficult to recognise and document each type of species. Origins Evidence at Neolithic sites such as Amsa-dong in South Korea show acorns were part of the human diet. Acorns contain bitter tannins which would have been leached out to make the acorns edible. They were then ground into flour using a saddle quern and milling stone. It is unknown exactly where acorn noodles were first produced. However, Ogam village, Korea is well known ...
