I'm Roman. :) I'm originally from Central Asian country of Uzbekistan. Since 12 years old I live in NYC (I'm 26 now). I'm not an ethnic Uzbek, but Russian (Uzbekistan was part of Russian Empire, later USSR) and I love love LOVE Korean food. We had a lot of Korean people living in Uzbekistan and that is how I used to the taste of Korean food :) Just remembering those times at Korean parts of the bazaar making my mouth water!<br /> Kim Chee is of course my most favorite one. In Uzbekistan though it is called "cheem chee" and made a little bit different. I think mostly because they lack certain authentic ingridients.<br /> I have some questions regarding Kim Chee but that is for another forum, I think :) </p>
