Food for ancestral rites table of my family/祭祀祭品/제사음식


On the 16th August, we went to the eldest brother house for ancestral rites. The food prepared for ancestral rites tables are not all  the same throughout the whole country, it depends on  which province the people from. My father in law was from Kyeonggi Province,but the eldest sister in law is from Busan. Their family are staying in Busan, therefore, she follows the Busan's custom rather than Kyeonggi Province, such as the shark meat..............................................................................................................
We started the ceremony at 11.30pm at night...................

16/8/2013 到釜山大哥的家去,参加已故家翁的忌日祭典。在韩国,忌日祭典的食物,因地区的差异而有所不同。已故家翁的故乡是京畿道,大嫂则来自釜山。 他们举家全住在釜山,她也就偏向釜山人的祭祖习俗,其中鲨鱼肉是釜山人祭祖必备的祭品之一。。。。。。。。。

晚上 11.30分,我们开始祭拜仪式。。。。

In Korea, ancestor worship ceremonies are referred to by the generic term jerye (hangul: 제례; hanja: ). Notable examples of jerye include Munmyo jerye and Jongmyo jerye, which are performed periodically each year for venerated Confucian scholars and kings of ancient times, respectively.。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

The ceremony held on the anniversary of a family member's death is called gije (hangul: 기제; hanja: ), and is celebrated by families as a private ceremony. For such occasions, the women of the family traditionally prepare an elaborate set of dishes, including tteok, jeon, jeok, and so forth.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri /Happy Aidilfitri to all my muslim friends & their families.....

Korean Style Curry Rice/韩式curry饭 /카레 rice

Korean Style Curry Rice/韩式curry饭 /카레 rice Rice / Noodles                                               
                                 
                                                                        


Generally, those curry dishes  in South East Asia are spicy, coconut juice is the main ingredient for cooking curry. We can buy the Korean style's curry powder from the Korean supermarket, it has "mild","medium" and "hot" tastes. For most of the Korean, they  use potatoes,carrot,onion,mushroom as the main ingredients; they also use sausage,luncheon meat,pork,beef,chicken too. If you are the vegetarian,you can choice vegetables only......No need to add coconut juice.

东南亚式的 curry,一般上都辣,而且都少不了用椰浆来烹调。在韩国的超级市场,可以买到包装的 curry 粉; 分为 不辣 (순한맛/ mild ),稍辣和辣,三种口味。韩国人在煮这道菜的时候,主要是采用马铃薯,红萝卜,大洋葱,蘑菇;至于肉类则是香肠,午餐肉,猪肉,牛肉或鸡肉。如果您是素食主义者,则可以完全只采用蔬菜类。。。无需加入椰浆。

Flowers of "Doraji"/Chinese Bellflower/桔梗花/도라지꽃


  1. Flowers of "Doraji"/Chinese Bellflower/桔梗花/도라지꽃

    I believe that those friends who like to eat "bibimbab", they know about the "doraji",one of the main ingredient for bibimbab. These are  the flowers of "doraji" ...


    我深信那些喜欢吃韩式拌饭( Bibimbab)的朋友们,他们都懂得“doraji”/桔梗,拌饭的主要材料之一。。。这是桔梗花。。


Platycodon grandiflorus (from Greek "πλατυκώδων", meaning a broad bell) is a species of herbaceous flowering perennial plant of the family Campanulaceae, and the only member of its genus. It is native to East Asia (China, Korea, Japan and East Siberia). This species is known as platycodon. Depending upon the region, it is also referred to as the Korean bellflower, Chinese bellflower, Japanese bellflower, common balloon flower, or balloon flower (referring to the balloon-shaped flower buds).

Growing to 60 cm (24 in) tall by 30 cm (12 in) wide, it is an herbaceous perennial with dark green leaves and blue flowers in late summer. A notable feature of the plant is the flower bud which swells like a balloon before fully opening. The five petals are fused together into a bell shape at the base, like its relatives, the campanulas. There are varieties with white, pink and purple blooms in cultivation. In Korea, white flowers are more common. This plant together with its cultivars 'Apoyama group' and 'Mariesii', have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

The root of this species (radix platycodi) is used extensively as an anti-inflammatory in the treatment of coughs and colds. In Korea, the plant is known as doraji (도라지) and its root, either dried or fresh, is a popular ingredient in salads and traditional cuisine. The Chinese bellflower (called 桔梗 in Chinese) is also used in traditional Chinese medicine.

桔梗学名Platycodon grandiflorus英语Balloon Flower),别名包袱花铃铛花僧帽花,为桔梗科桔梗属植物,生长在中国朝鲜半岛日本西伯利亚东部。根可入药,嫩叶可腌制成咸菜,在中国东北地区称为“狗宝”咸菜。在朝鲜半岛,中国延边地区,桔梗是很有名的泡菜食材,当地民谣《桔梗谣》所描写的就是这种植物。單憑名稱,有人會誤以為桔梗乃桔子,但實際上與桔子或柑橘屬沒有直接關係。

多年生草本,高40-90厘米。植物体内有乳汁,全株光滑无毛。根粗大肉质,圆锥形或有分叉,外皮黄褐色。茎直立,有分枝;叶多为互生,少数对生,近无柄,叶片长卵形,边缘有锯齿;花大形,单生于茎顶或数朵成疏生的总状花序花冠钟形,蓝紫色或蓝白色,裂片5。蒴果卵形,熟时顶端开裂。

中医上以根入药,性平、味苦辛,功能宣肺、祛痰、排脓,主治咳痰不爽、咽喉肿痛、肺痈等症;根含有桔梗皂苷,能增加呼吸道的分泌而发挥祛痰作用。
