Korean groceries in Ingolstadt

Korean cooking often builds flavour with fermented seasonings, rice, noodles and plenty of vegetables. Start with gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice and the ingredients for one chosen dish, then add kimchi, doenjang, dried seaweed or rice cakes when needed. Specialist shops offer a better choice of chilli pastes, noodles and frozen foods, and product labels help distinguish different heat levels and uses.
