soybean paste soup with mushrooms lunch

Yesterday, I had yet a different type of Korean food for lunch.

The side dishes: Spinach with sesame, dried squid, kimchi, potato, and radish (center).


The main dish is a bowl with rice topped with seaweed, with some sesame oil in the bottom of the bowl to facilitate the mixing of the food. The dish to the left contains two types of toppings, one was bean sprouts with leeks/green onions, and the other was a mix of green leafy vegetables. Put some of both in the bowl with the rice, and mix. Add pepper paste to taste. In other words, mine was still mostly green and white, and others had bowls of red with hints of green.


Miso paste soup with mushrooms. The broth can be added to the rice bowl above, if desired. In the soup were clams, mushrooms of several types, peppers, green onions, and red pepper powder.


Octopus in spicy red sauce, with some onion and sesame seeds. This can also be added to the rice bowl and mixed in as desired.
