AHG - Korean Range

South Korea is known for its green, hilly countryside marked with cherry trees and centuries-old Buddhist temples, plus its coastal fishing villages, sub-tropical islands, and high-tech cities such as Seoul, the capital.

Rice, noodles, vegetables, meats, and tofu make up the key ingredients in Korean cuisine. Traditional Korean meals are named for the number of side dishes that accompany steam-cooked short-grain rice. Kimchi is served at nearly every meal.
