Food writer Joan Namkoong, a second generation Korean American, draws on her island heritage to explain the Korean kitchen in Hawaii, distinctly different from a Korean kitchen in Korea. The ingredients, the seasongins, the textures and flavors in Hawaii bear the history of Korean immigrants who came to the islands in the early 1900s. Succeeding generations and more recent immigrants have put their mark on Korean food in Hawaii, a popular cuisine that has evolved over the past century. Korean food is a healthy cuisine that relies on many vegetables, grains, fermented foods, and simple cooking techniques that require little fat.
