Pukjai
''Pukjai'' () or ''bukjai'' (Koryo-mar: ; ; ) is a soybean stew dish in Koryo-saram cuisine. It is a descendent of the Korean dish ''doenjang-jjigae''. The dish uses soybean paste (''jai''; ; ) as the base flavoring for the broth. Various ingredients are then added to the base stew. Koryo-saram are Koreans of the former Soviet Union. They have a cuisine descended from the Korean peninsula and influenced by the regions they have lived in. They primarily descend from Korean populations in the North Hamgyong Province, and as such their language and cuisine is influenced by that region. The word ''pukjai'' descends from the term ''bukjang'' ( 북장), which was the term for the North Hamgyong-style ''doenjang''. In one restaurant in the return migration enclave Ttaetgol Village in Ansan, South Korea, the soup contained tomatoes, cabbage, and a whole egg. This would be considered unusual for South Korean ''doenjang-jjigae''. See also * ''Siryak-tyamuri ''Siryak-tyamuri'' (; ) ...

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. They are often considered distinct from Sakhalin Koreans, another Korean group from the former Soviet Union Sakhalin Korean cuisine, that has their own cuisine. The cuisine has achieved significant popularity throughout the former Soviet Union, with dishes like ''morkovcha'' widely available in grocery stores. However, to the reported surprise of some visitors from Russia, the cuisine is virtually unknown in South Korea. It is also considered by some to differ from South Korean cuisine significantly, especially as it descends primarily from the cuisine of regions now in North Korea. Description Of Korean regional cuisines, Koryo-saram cuisine is most closely related to that of the Hamgyong Province, Hamgyong provinces, now in North Korea. This is because ...

Siryak-tyamuri
''Siryak-tyamuri'' (; ) or ''sirak-jangmul'' (Koryo-mar: 시락장물; ; ) is a stew in Koryo-saram cuisine that uses fermented soybean paste ('' jai''; 자이; ) as the primary flavorant for the broth. It is a descendent of the Korean dish ''siraegi'' ''doenjang-guk'', and prominently features ''siraegi'', dried radish stems. The dish is considered a staple for Koryo-saram, leading one journalist to remark that the Korean people can survive on just lettuce, ''doenjang'', and rice. One Koryo-saram interviewed in Kazakhstan reported that local Kazakhs and Russians called the dish "Korean soup" (). She also reported that local non-Koreans also enjoyed the soup. The dish has been used as a metaphor for Koryo-saram identity, and its similarity to ''siraegi doenjang-guk'' has also made it a metaphor for shared culture between Koryo-saram and South Koreans. It is known to be consumed in Koryo-saram enclaves in South Korea, including Ttaetgol Village. It has also been served as ceremoni ...

Soviet Cuisine
Soviet cuisine, the common cuisine of the Soviet Union, was formed by the integration of the various national cuisines of the Soviet Union, in the course of the formation of the Soviet people. It is characterized by a limited number of ingredients and simplified cooking. This type of cuisine was prevalent in canteens everywhere in the Soviet Union. It became an integral part of household cuisine and was used in parallel with national dishes, particularly in large cities. Generally, Soviet cuisine was shaped by Soviet eating habits and a very limited availability of ingredients in most parts of the USSR. Most dishes were simplifications of French, Russian, Austro- Hungarian cuisines, and cuisines from other Eastern Bloc nations. Caucasian cuisines, particularly Georgian cuisine, contributed as well. To a significant extent it was reflected in and formed by '' The Book of Tasty and Healthy Food'', first printed in 1939, following the directions of Anastas Mikoyan. See also * ...
