    Comfort and coziness at the campfireWinter on Jeju, Maximize your Experience with Winter Camping

    Warm yourself up outdoors with winter camping to make unforgettable memories back home with an overnight experience in one of Jeju’s gorgeous landscapes. Winter camping is thought of as the ‘flower’ of camping as the cold weather blooms for warmth in the outdoor environment. Preparation worries will vanish at the thought of available accommodation with all its features plus more at your request. The season is ideal for campfires complemented by hot chocolates or teas. Due to Jeju Island’s geographical location, the temperature on the island is bearable as it will very rarely drop below 0 degrees. The coldness of winter is sharp and bitter but, it can be overpowered with the heat of food sizzling on the grill and hearty laughs and conversations that can be shared in portable shelters. Jeju Island has a vast range of camping options and preferences available to suit all camping styles, and people are attracted by the comfort.

    Luxury at your fingertipsGlamping and Caravanning

    Glamping comes from the terms ‘glamorous’ and ‘camping’. It combines the concept of outdoor accommodation and facilities but it is more luxurious than activities associated with traditional camping. Glamping and caravanning is a must when it comes to visiting Jeju Island as it enables a raw connection with the environment at your own comfort. This style of camping is a stress reliever from the usual camping setup as everything from cookware to chairs and beds are prepared within the glampsites. Caravanning with two or more people is a good way to enjoy company in a tight space and be surrounded by natures’ gifts.

    What you should buy for the perfect winter mealGrocery Shopping for Camping

    Imagine staying at a tent on the ground covered with white snow or drinking warm coffee next to a romantic fire which burns fiercely. Above all, cooking and having nice food would be the most memorable part to fulfil your happiness and outlook on camping. If you don’t carefully prepare what to bring for cooking, it is like just going to battle without a weapon. First, calculate how many meals and how many people will eat during your stay and decide on the budget for your trip. If you buy too many things, the excess would go to waste. It would be helpful to purchase non-perishable ingredients such as canned-food. What to buy depends on the self-established menu. Take a note for menus. If you don’t have a menu list, you can waste materials. Those who crave carbohydrates such as rice, noodle or pasta, you can buy instant rice from the local supermarket. It is all cooked and packed for one serve.
    For the barbecue, prepare the selection of meat with your choice of seafood, sausage, pepper powder, salt and oil. If you want, you can add onion, garlic, mushrooms and spring onion to enhance the flavor. For grilled skewers, meat, sausage, salt, paprikas, onions, cherry tomatoes and canned pineapples are needed. Don’t forget to buy the skewers! For kimchi stew, you have to buy kimchi, your choice of meat or canned tuna, garlic, spring onion, onion, red pepper powder. If you want, you can add tofu and any other ingredients. For instant noodles, you'll find various kinds of instant noodles in the supermarket. Choose any instant noodles that you want. If you want special noodles, you can add an egg, sprouts, potatoes, seafood, spring onions, or even milk.
    When you buy pork or beef, you have a choice on which part of the animal you would like to buy as meat. Deungsim (등심) means loin. This part is a popular choice for roasting. Ansim (안심) means tenderloin which is also popular like loin. Samgyeopsal (삼겹살) means belly. It is a boneless part of the pig that comes with abundant layers of fat. Because of that, when it is warmed, it generates juices which makes the meat more delicious. Galbi (갈비) means rib chop. This part is hard to cook well. It needs skill and patience but is definitely worth it. Moksim (목심) means blade shoulder. It has less fat and more connective tissue which means it needs a long time to make it tender. These parts are all good for barbecuing. When you buy meat or seafood for barbecue, ask the butcher to cut them off so that you can use them quickly.

    The ‘flower’ of campingCamping Food

    One of the attractions of camping is cooking your food yourself and sharing it with friends and family. Even if you are bad at cooking, the practice of cooking itself will give you unusual joy. Piping hot and delicious foods will warm your body from the coldness in winter. The difference is that when you cook while camping, you can use the fresh, famous ingredients of Jeju Island. For example, Jeju black pork is one of them. Overcoming poor environmental surroundings for cooking is also a novel experience. Here are some recipes for camping that you can follow easily.

    Barbecue

    When you plan to cook while camping, you can’t miss the barbecue. It is almost a taboo to not barbecue whilst camping. The term barbecue or barbeque comes from the Spanish word barbacoa. Barbecuing has four cooking techniques: smoking, baking, braising and grilling. In the past, smoking was used to preserve foods. It extended the expiration date. This technique is now used to add smoked flavor or tenderize. Baking is cooking something by dry heat without direct exposure to a flame, typically in an oven with moderate temperatures. Braising comes from French word ‘braiser’ and is a method in which food is first seared in oil or fat using an open pan and is then slowly cooked in a small amount of liquid with the pan covered. Grilling is done by direct heat from burning charcoal and the high temperature of the flame. It makes the meat cook more quickly and this method is ideal for barbecues for the juicy and smoky flavor. Eating the meat and seafood with only salt is enough but if you want a variety of flavors, you can marinate before barbecuing or use sauces and garnishes.

    Grilled skewers

    Grilled skewers are part of an iconic menu in camping alongside barbecuing. A recipe is as simple as just skewering your choice of meat and vegetables but some say the taste is enhanced when it is on a stick. Some providers of glamping have conveniently prepared skewers but not all of them have this ready to use. This is one of the things you should check before going camping.
    Cut meat into bite size pieces and marinate with salt and pepper powder. Cut a paprika and an onion also into the same size. Cut the spring onion into 3cm pieces. Then you can skewer all the materials. You can add a cherry tomato or canned pineapple or mushroom which increases flavor. Also, you can use a sausage instead of meat. When you turn them on the grill, sprinkle a little bit of vinegar and water on them (the best ratio is 1:5) to prevent the food from becoming dry. If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes before grilling. Barbeque sauce is optional.

    Kimchi stew

    Kimchi is a representative dish in Korea. It is a pickled vegetable saturated in red pepper powder, which includes Chinese cabbage, radish, spring onion, cucumber and so on. Koreans usually have it as a side dish with warm rice. For Koreans, kimchi is like curry for Indians. Due to the globalization of Korean food, kimchi has become widely known abroad. But when you first try it, it could be difficult or strange to eat due to the unique flavor. If you cook it as a stew, it might be more suitable to your taste. When you cook kimchi stew, it is almost always Chinese cabbage kimchi that is used, not a radish kimchi or a cucumber kimchi. Purchase the kimchi from the supermarket. Adding pork or canned-tuna makes the broth of the stew more delicious. With a little oil, add and stir the pieces of pork that has been cut into bite-sized pieces first. Then add kimchi, which is also cut into bite size pieces and stir with the pork. Add water, red pepper powder, garlic and other vegetables and then boil to your satisfaction. If you use canned-tuna instead of pork, stir the kimchi first and add tuna later with other ingredients. One tea spoon of sugar will make it more delicious. If you use perilla seed oil when you stir, it would be aromatic. Serve with rice.

    Instant noodles

    Instant noodles have been broadly loved by Koreans for a long time. Actually the Korean instant noodles originally come from China and Japan. Now Korea has 220 kinds of instant noodles and sales volume is distinctively high. It is very convenient to store and cook. It is also very cheap. Korean instant noodles generally have a spicy taste. When you have hot and spicy instant noodles, you’ll sweat a lot and your mouth could be a bit numb, which releases your stress. Buy any instant noodles from a supermarket. If you don’t prefer spicy noodles, you can choose non-spicy noodles instead. Each of the instant noodles has a recipe you can follow on the back of the package. There are several ways and suggestions on how to cook and what to add. If you cook it through a nickel-silver pot, compared with a stainless-steel pot, it will be cooled down fast so that it delays making noodles soaked. The optimal amount of boiling water is 550ml. which is a bit more than three cups. What to add first between seasoning and noodles depends on the person. They suggest that pouring the seasoning first makes the noodles more delicious because it has a good effect on the elasticity of the noodles. There are vice materials which make noodles rich: diced rice cake, red pepper, kimchi, an egg, garlic, dumpling, spring onion, potato, sprouts, ham, cheese, mushroom, crab, shrimp, tofu, canned-tuna, pepper powder, bacon, beef and perilla. You can add anything according to your taste.
