Woori (우리) means 'we' or 'us' in Korean.  Korean people commonly use "We" instead of "I".  The definition of woori is "the word that indicates the person himself/herself or several people who are on the same side".  The article by Korean dream describes that the word woori is used frequently by Korean because Korean place higher value on the larger society value.

Health Benefit of Korean fermented soy bean paste (Doenjang)

6/1/2017

 
Doenjang (soy bean paste), a traditional Korean food that is fermented from soybeans, has been a fixture of the Korean diet for centuries.  There have been studies that show Doenjang is effective in preventing cancer. Soybeans, the main ingredient of doenjang, contain high quality proteins in the form of amino acid which acids aid digestion. Abundant amounts of vitamin A and C can be supplemented by adding pumpkins when making doenjang. Doenjang is also effective in preventing and treating constipation and diarrhea by increasing the activities of the large intestines.  You can read the article by Chosunilbo about the health benefit of Doenjang here, Study Proves Benefits of Korean Fermented Paste (Jang) by Chosunilbo & Chosun.com

Please visit us and get all you need to make Korean rice cake soup (Tteokguk) for the New Year! Watch the following video to learn how to make Korean rice cake soup and come on over to get all the ingridents and celebrate the New year in Korean style!

Teeokguk (rice cake soup) is a delicious, filling soup made of disc-shaped rice cakes in a clear broth. Koreans always eat it on Seollal (Korean New Year’s Day), the first day of the Lunar calendar and one of the most important holidays in Korea. Traditionally, according to Korean age reckoning, everyone’s age went up one year on Seollal, and the process wasn’t totally complete until you had a bowl of tteokguk.  You’d ask someone on Seollal: “Did you eat a bowl of rice cake soup today?” Meaning: are you one year older?
