3. Bobsled
is a Korean sushi roll. The rice is seasoned with sesame oil and salt rather than vinegar and sugar and there is no need for dipping sauce as everything is packed neatly into sheets of kim (nori). This is one speedy roll.
4. Cross-country skiing
Another team event through tough terrain and fits this bill perfectly. Marinated chicken wings are twice-fried and stick together before a little "snow" sets in, in this case chopped peanuts. The perfect flavour balance with a punchy finish and you simply couldn't stop at just one!

A Korean round-up without a kimchi recipe is like a ski jumping event without a ramp. It's a necessity and takes your dishes to a whole other level. While the majority of kimchi is left to ferment for months and possibly years, this is easy to make and you can maintain that crunch factor as well.
