Eating Korean food in a bowl will be considered as "worrying about others grabbing the bowl".
Fishing with a spoon is a major feature of eating Korean food.
Koreans advise others not to pour their own wine when drinking.
Koreans only use stainless steel chopsticks to hold vegetables, and spoons are responsible for holding rice and soup.
You can't eat with a bowl with Koreans.
The Age of Eating and Drinking: In China's family education, people have to eat with their rice bowls in their hands. Why do Koreans do the opposite?
Li Huayuan: Both China and Japanese have the habit of eating with rice bowls, but Koreans think this behavior is not standardized. If you visit a Korean family, or there are Korean guests present, out of respect, remember not to touch the rice bowl on the table with your hands, let alone touch it directly with your mouth. Because in the Korean concept, "why do you hold on to the bowl when you eat, and no one grabs it?" Are you worried that others will rob you of your food? "Therefore, be sure to put the bowl on the table and eat it with a spoon. At this time, the other hand has to obey. Since the bowl is not good, just hide it under the table honestly.
Eating and drinking times: What should I pay attention to when I invite Korean guests to dinner?
Lihua Garden: Koreans have a habit of eating: don't talk loudly, chew quietly and try not to talk about business topics. They think that eating is a time for rest and enjoyment, and the nerve-racking topics should be mentioned as little as possible. When you pour wine for your elders, you should use your hand and cover it sideways to show your respect. Interestingly, if you see a Korean pouring you a glass of 7% full white wine, don't mind, it is out of the Confucian concept of "fullness", which covers the meaning of blessing and enlightenment; Moreover, they only pour others' wine, and their own glasses will not pour. "Persuade wine, persuade wine" can only be drunk if people persuade and help people pour wine.
Korean food etiquette
Korean food is more popular than western food.
With the invasion of Korean dramas, Korean food and Hanbok, eating Korean food is gradually becoming one of the fashion weathervanes in Shenzhen. Jin Quanzhe, who works in Shenzhen from 65438 to 0994, told reporters that according to incomplete statistics, there are nearly 40 Korean restaurants in Shenzhen, and there are tens of thousands of Koreans in Shenzhen. At present, the ratio of China consumers to Korean consumers is 8: 2. According to this calculation, the development space of Korean restaurants is great. Jin Quanzhe believes that South Korea's unique food culture is the main reason why it is tolerated and favored by many Shenzhen people.
Admittedly, although I didn't go to Korean restaurants many times, the exquisite Korean cuisine and the unique diet and etiquette of Koreans left a good impression on people.

Chopsticks, bowls and spoons match well.
Let's talk about tableware first. South Korea on the other side of Bohai Bay shares a pair of chopsticks with us, which makes many "farmers" who are eager to wash their feet and go ashore feel less embarrassed with knives and forks in front of fashion than when facing western food. Therefore, western food is always elegant in people's impression, and Korean food can enter public life.
But on the tables of Korean restaurants, most of the chopsticks you see are metal products, such as Lihua Garden. Guests use stainless steel chopsticks, which are 2cm shorter than China chopsticks and have a small diameter1mm. It's heavy, like a child holding chopsticks, and it's difficult to adjust his hands. Asked the waiter, the answer was that metal chopsticks are suitable for barbecue food, refreshing, hygienic and durable, not as easy to wear as bamboo chopsticks, and there is no waste caused by using disposable chopsticks.
Another example is the rice bowl. The rice bowl in Korea is like a bowl in a monk's hand. Flat and round, palm-sized, you can eat it with your hands. Bone dishes and seafood dishes are the same, the difference is only the size. The spoon is not placed in the bowl, but on the edge of the wooden chopsticks rack with chopsticks. Chopsticks are only responsible for holding vegetables, while rice and soup are the exclusive rights of spoons.
habit
Eat barbecue with lettuce.
In Danyang Korean restaurant, not only knives and forks, but also scissors are used for guests on the dining table, which can be cut according to the texture of meat to ensure the uniformity of barbecue temperature. The wonder of eating is that it must be wrapped in lettuce, plus some garlic slices and shredded green peppers, dipped in a little red sweet and spicy sauce and stuffed into your mouth. It is similar to Beijing roast duck, but not as fat as roast duck, and its taste is fresh and smooth.
In Korean restaurants, kimchi is not expensive, and most restaurants offer it free of charge except for particularly delicate varieties. Four or five plates of pickles are served as soon as the guests arrive. Although it is not gorgeous and rich, it can also stimulate appetite and increase fragrance. Jin Quanzhe said that barbecue with lettuce and kimchi is a light but not greasy, low-sugar and low-fat eating habit, which fully embodies the spirit of frugality, practicality and nutrition of Koreans.
