Kochujang
Pyongyang, June 22 (KCNA) -- "I crave some Kochujang," write Koreans on
overseas trip to their families. Kochujang, a paste made from red hot
pepper, is no less than Kimchi (pickled vegetables), a native typical
Korean staple food. With its hot taste and peculiar flavour and smell, the
red-coloured kochujang follows Koreans at home or others living abroad.
When eating fatty dishes, Koreans crave hot and delicious dishes. Kimchi
and Kochujang are typically hot and appetizing. Kochujang is too hot to be
eaten by a spoonful at a time and therefore it is eaten sparingly. It is
eaten as a seasoning. Its outstanding taste is brought out when it is eaten
with sliced raw fish, or lettuce and boiled rice. It also serves as a major
component of soup. Without any other seasoning, Kochujang can be eaten,
mixed with boiled hot barley or rice. Kochujang with boiled hot barley can
conjure up the Korean pastoral life in the mind of the eaters. this habit
of eating Kochujang is enjoyed in the country. This is usually done in the
season when the barley has just been harvested and the farmers are again
busy raising rice. When Kochujang is eaten under a cloudless sky with
lettuce and rice, it is especially pleasant to the taste. To add its own
flavour and to make it last longer without spoiling, Kochujang is boiled
with sugar, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. sometimes ground beef can be
added. There are re-processed Kochujang, such as sesame Kochujang, meat
Kochujang, flavour Kochujang, oil Kochujang and yak-Kochujang. At present,
Kochujang is massproduced by food processors. But some Korean housewives
prefer to making Kochujang themselves, instead of ready-made one. According
to local areas, each housewife uses a slightly different recipe for making
Kochujang, thereby she is able to show off her individual culinary talents.
Korean pheasant
Pyongyang, June 22 (KCNA) -- In the DPRK, pheasants enjoy massive
propagation, resulting in a jump in their stock in recent years. They are
found in all parts of the country down from the Mt. Paektu area on the
northern extremity. About 40 varieties of pheasants occur worldwide. A
Korean pheasant has a long neck and tail. In many countries, the
propagation of pheasants is anchored on the Korean pheasant as a pure
breed, for it is known for its big body, good taste of its flesh, its
fecundity and viability. Its flesh is ideal for a tonic and efficacious
against stomach, gall and roundworm troubles. Its beautiful feathers are
used for ornamentals. With a world conference on birds slated for 2002, the
DPRK natural conservation union is intensifying dissemination of know-how
on Korean pheasants and their protection and propagation.
Kim Jong Il gives on-the-spot guidance to Nyongbyon and Pakchon silk mills
Pyongyang, June 22 (KCNA) - General Secretary Kim Jong Il gave on-the-spot
guidance to the Nyongbyon and Pakchon silk mills in north Phyongan province
on June 21. He was accompanied by chief secretary Kim Phyong Hae of the
North Phyongan Provincial Committee of the WPK, secretary Kim Kuk Thae of
the WPK Central Committee and first vice department directors of the WPK
Central Committee. He went to the Nyongbyon Silk Mill. After looking round
the board bearing on-the-spot teachings of the great leader President Kim
Il Sung and the monument to his on-the-spot guidance to the mill, he went
to weaving shops and other places to learn in detail about the production
and give a pep-talk to the workers in the efforts for increased production.
He highly praised the workers and technicians of the Nyongbyon Silk Mill
for their great achievements, saying that they turned out a large quantity
of high-quality silk, including figured satin, brocade and satin with
patterns, greatly contributing to the settlement of the question of
clothing for the people. He said the mill should drastically increase the
production of silk liked by the Korean people to provide girls and boys who
are going to get married and old men and women who are to celebrate their
sixtieth and seventieth birthdays with silk clothes and silk quilts. He
went to the Pakchon Silk Mill. He learned about the management and
production of the mill in detail, looking round production processes where
a wide variety of silk of beautiful colors, velvet cloth and thick warm
blankets are turned out in rolls. He was much pleased to see the workers of
the mill keeping it tidy and clean in terms of sanitation and cultural
practice and highly praised them for their feats. At the end of his
inspection to the two mills he set forth tasks that would serve as
guidelines for remarkably increasing the production of silk. He said the
WPK has solved all the problems with main emphasis on the improvement of
the standard of people's living, adding that to settle the issue of
clothing is one of the two major tasks, which is no less important than
solving the food problem. It is the fixed resolution and will of the party,
he noted, to provide better clothes to the people. He highlighted the need
to direct big efforts to the production of silk and bring about a new turn
in the settlement of the issue of clothing. He said for remarkable increase
in the production of silk it is necessary to realise comprehensive
mechanisation and automation of production processes and for the producers
to have high technique and skill to do so. In order to supply silk with
beautiful and attractive patterns to the people it is necessary to
significantly improve the quality of silk, the speciality of Korea, he
stressed. Underscoring the importance of supplying a sufficient quantity of
silk yarn and other raw materials in time, he called on all the provinces,
cities and counties to extensively raise silkworms. He earnestly appealed
to the officials, workers and technicians in the field of light industry to
boost the production of silk of better quality by displaying creative
ingenuity and patriotic devotion and thus enable the best korean people to
live as happily as others.
