Indian food would be preferred culture to all nations: Korean Food Master

By Puja Gupta New Delhi, Dec 1 (IANSlife) Lee Yeon-soon, National Food Master (The Republic of Korea), says Indian food would be preferred culture to all nations through its convenient cooking method and exclusive taste.
Lee, who is also Professor, dept. of Global Korean Cuisine Culinary Arts, Suwon University of Science and Technology, has visited India twice and loves the unique taste of our desi ‘tandoori chicken’ and chai.
IANSlife spoke to Lee who was among the jury members at the Pan India Online Korean Culinary Challenge 2020 held online to mark the first International Kimchi Day.
Excerpts from the interview: How would you define Korean food? Lee: Korean food has been well preserved through its prototype and tradition through its long history. It represents wellbeing food in recent time as well balanced healthy food between taste and nutrition. Five basic vegetable ingredients with red, yellow, black, white, green colour called “Oh Bang” colour represents harmony of all creation and universe`s energy. It’s a philosophical story telling.
