What’s Cookin’?

thekimchibear:

So I personally love cooking. The food is one of the main reasons I began studying Korean. A lot of the Korean cooking shows are great sources, but are not subtitled, so here’s a quick list to help start you off!

썰다 – to chop 
네모꼴로 썰다 – to dice 
얇게 썰다 – to slice 
채를 썰다 – to julienne 
다지다 – to mince / finely chop 
볶다 – to stir-fry 
지지다 – to sauté / panfry 
튀기다 – to deep fry (think 감자 튀김 / french fries!)
부치다 – to fry, griddle 
끓다 – to boil 
굽다 – to to roast 
훈제되다 – to smoke (food)

Let me know if you have any words / sets you’d like to add or learn about!

Vocab for my favorite thing – FOOD!

씹는 맛 – the chewing texture of a food 
바삭바삭하다 – to be crispy (fried foods) 
아삭아삭하다 – to be crunchy (fruits & vegetables) 
쫄깃쫄깃하다 – to be chewy 
끈적끈적하다 – to be sticky 
말랑말랑하다 – to be soft (marshmallow, rice cakes) 
칼칼하다 – to be spicy & parching (because of red pepper powder)
얼큰하다 – to be spicy but refreshing (spicy soup when you’re sick) 

The next 3 are not actually chewing textures, but still food adjectives:

부글부글 – to be boiling / heavy bubbles (soup) 
보글보글 – to be bubbling / light bubbles (soup) 
지글지글 – to be sizzling (frying meat)
