What's the difference between Chinese & Korean cuisine?!


Question: What's the difference between Chinese & Korean cuisine?
I am both nationalities/ethnicity. I don't really notice any difference whatsoever. My mom being Chinese cooks both and they taste slightly the same. Although Koreans use lots of chilli powder in their dishes.

Answers:

There are certain similarities, but overall, Korean cuisine is more similar to Japanese, I think. Koreans also have sushi like the Japanese, and are fond of eating raw seafood, which is culturally abhorrent to the Chinese. Koreans are also very fond of using seaweed in their cooking, which is not so common in China. There are various dishes which seem to be ubiquitous in most of east asia, such as fried noodles (chow mein in China, yakisoba in Japan, pancit in the Philippines), and noodle soups, as well as fried rice. Since these dishes are very common, easy to make, and beloved in most East Asian cultures, it is easy to think that all East Asian food is the same, but when you get past those very basic dishes, the differences become much more apparent.



They may taste similar because your mom has certain things she likes to make and has her own style of making them (as most cooks do).

The Korean food I'm familiar with is very different from Chinese. Check out these pictures and you'll see what I mean: http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&sugex…
