Korean bbq

Several of us went out for dinner the other night to a Korean bbq restaurant. We had our own little room, and had to take our shoes off outside in the hallway. There were little cushions at each seat.

On the table when we arrived were dishes with kimchi, tofu, pickled radish, a soy paste, and a green onion salad. Plates of meat were delivered, then placed on the grill in the middle of the table. There was also a plate of mushrooms and a bowl of garlic cloves that we added to the grill.


After the meat was cooked, you could either eat it wrapped with the lettuce leaves, with some of the soy paste, a piece of garlic, and some of the green onion salad. My personal favorite was lettuce wrapped around a piece of mushroom, a piece of meat, a piece of garlic, and a bit of the green onion salad.


Otherwise, you could quickly dip just an end of the meat in a small dish containing salt and pepper and eat it as is. Either way, it was very, very tasty. Along with all of this, we also had a bottle of soju. I don't particularly care for soju, but the point was made that it went very well with all the flavors on the table.
