Naengguk
''Naengguk'' * () or chilled soup refers to all kinds of cold '' guk'' (, soups) in Korean cuisine, mainly eaten in summer. It is also called ''chan'guk'' (), which literally means "cold soup" in pure Korean, while the term ''naengguk'' is a combination of a hanja word (, "cold") and a pure Korean word (, "soup"). The first historical record on ''naengguk'' appears in a poem written by Yi Kyu-bo (1168–1241), a high officer of the Goryeo period (918–1392). In the poem, ''naengguk'' is referred to as ''sungaeng'' (), which literally means ''sunchaeguk'' (), i.e., soup made with ''sunchae'' ('' Brasenia schreberi''). Yi praised its clear and plain taste, saying it made usual dishes seem vulgar. ''Naengguk'' is largely divided into two categories according to seasoning and ingredients. The first category is made by mixing chilled water and vinegar to give a sour and sweet taste, such as ''miyeok naengguk'' () made with wakame, ''oi naengguk'' () made with cucumber, ''pa naengg ...

Wakame
Wakame ''(Undaria pinnatifida)'' is a species of kelp native to cold, temperate coasts of the northwest Pacific Ocean. As an edible seaweed, it has a subtly sweet, but distinctive and strong flavour and satiny texture. It is most often served in soups and salads. Wakame has long been collected for food in East Asia, and sea farmers in Japan have cultivated wakame since the eighth century (Nara period). Although native to cold, temperate coastal areas of Japan, Korea, China, and Russia, it has established itself in temperate regions around the world, including New Zealand, the United States, Belgium, France, Great Britain, Spain, Italy, Argentina, Australia and Mexico. , the Invasive Species Specialist Group has listed the species on its List of globally invasive species, list of 100 worst globally invasive species. Wakame, as with all other kelps and brown algae, is plant-like in appearance, but is unrelated to true plants, being, instead, a photosynthetic, multicellular strame ...

Korean Cuisine
Korean cuisine is the set of foods and culinary styles which are associated with Korean culture. This cuisine has evolved through centuries of social and political change. Originating from ancient Prehistoric Korea, agricultural and nomadic traditions in Korea and southern Manchuria, Korean cuisine reflects a complex interaction of the natural environment and different cultural trends. Korean cuisine is largely based on rice, vegetables, seafood and (at least in South Korea) meats. Dairy is largely absent from the traditional Korean diet. Traditional Korean meals are named for the number of side dishes () that accompany steaming, steam-cooked short-grain rice. Kimchi is served at nearly every meal. Commonly used ingredients include sesame oil, (fermented bean paste), Korean soy sauce, soy sauce, salt, garlic, ginger, (chili pepper, pepper flakes), (fermented red chili paste) and napa cabbage. Ingredients and dishes vary by province. Many regional dishes have become nat ...

Spring Onion
Scallions (also known as green onions and spring onions) are edible vegetables of various species in the genus ''Allium''. Scallions generally have a milder taste than most onions. Their close relatives include garlic, shallots, leeks, chives, and Chinese onions. The leaves are eaten both raw and cooked. Scallions produce hollow, tubular, green leaves that grow directly from the bulb, which does not fully develop. This is different to other ''Allium'' species where bulbs fully develop, such as commercially available onions and garlic. With scallions, the leaves are what is typically chopped into various dishes and used as garnishes. Etymology and naming The names ''scallion'' and ''shallot'' derive from the Old French ''eschalotte'', by way of ''eschaloigne'', from the Latin ''Ascalōnia caepa'' or "Ascalonian onion", a namesake of the ancient Eastern Mediterranean coastal city of Ascalon. Other names used in various parts of the world include spring onion, green onion, t ...

Soybean
The soybean, soy bean, or soya bean (''Glycine max'') is a species of legume native to East Asia, widely grown for its edible bean. Soy is a staple crop, the world's most grown legume, and an important animal feed. Soy is a key source of food, useful both for its protein and oil content. Soybean oil is widely used in cooking, as well as in industry. Traditional unfermented food uses of soybeans include edamame, as well as soy milk, from which tofu and tofu skin are made. Fermented soy foods include soy sauce, fermented bean paste, nattō, and tempeh. Fat-free (defatted) soybean meal is a significant and cheap source of protein for animal feeds and many packaged meals. For example, soybean products, such as textured vegetable protein (TVP), are ingredients in many meat and dairy substitutes. Soy based foods are traditionally associated with East Asian cuisines, and still constitute a major part of East Asian diets, but processed soy products are increasingly used ...

Nori
Nori is a dried edible seaweed used in Japanese cuisine, usually made from species of the red algae genus ''Pyropia'', including ''P. yezoensis'' and ''Pyropia tenera, P. tenera''. It has a strong and distinctive flavor, and is generally made into flat sheets and used to wrap rolls of sushi or ''onigiri'' (rice balls). The finished dried sheets are made by a shredding and rack-drying process that resembles papermaking. They are sold in packs in grocery stores for culinary purposes. Since nori sheets easily absorb water from the air and degrade, a desiccant is needed when storing nori for any significant time. Nori—despite not being cultivated by humans until the 1600s—has been popular since the pre-modern era in Japan, having been used as currency, offerings at shrines, and food since the 700s. History Ancient Originally, the term ''nori'' was generic and referred to seaweeds, including ''hijiki''. One of the earliest descriptions of nori is dated to around the eighth ...
