Sinseollo is a Korean traditional dish. It is said to be food for the gods in the higlands or montains. I am not sure why it is called like that because I am not a Korean. I want to blog about Korean food because I found many delicious dishes that are popular in that country and one of those dishes is this Sinseollo. I looked it up on the internet and I found out that is dish is part of the Korean Royal Cuisine Recipes. You can tell by its name that this food is served for the royal families but I am not sure about that because I have tried this dish several times eventhough I do not have a royal blood in me. Here is the cooking tutorial on this recipe:
