Nam jim seafood (green chilli-lime dipping sauce)

Seafood grills along the beach at Bang Saen and Hua Hin set a little bowl of this bright green sauce by every plate of grilled prawns, squid and crab. It is pounded, not blended, from garlic, green bird's-eye chillies and coriander root, then loosened with lime and fish sauce until it is sharp, salty, hot and barely sweet. Make it no more than a few hours ahead. For a vegetarian version to eat with grilled vegetables and tofu, use 2½ tbsp light soy sauce instead of the fish sauce. Chef's tip: don't use bottled lime juice; its flat, bitter edge takes over a sauce this simple.

Ojingeo bokkeumSpicy stir-fried squid

Around the harbours of the Chungcheong coast on the Yellow Sea, seafood restaurants fry freshly landed squid in a sticky red sauce, and the same dish turns up in lunch canteens and home kitchens all over Korea. Bright with chilli, it's on the table in about twenty minutes and is often piled straight onto rice as ojingeo deopbap. The sauce is gochujang and chilli flakes sweetened with a little sugar, and the vegetables stay crisp. Serve with rice and a bowl of light soup to cool things down. Chef's tip: mix the sauce before you light the hob, because the squid cooks so fast that there is no time to measure anything once it's in the pan.

Dak bokkeumtangSpicy chicken and potato stew

Chicken on the bone braised with big chunks of potato in a thick red sauce is a weeknight staple in Daejeon, the central city where many Korean rail lines meet, and in homes right across the country. Some people still call it dakdoritang. Unlike Andong's soy-based jjimdak, it gets its colour and heat from chilli flakes and gochujang, and the potatoes slowly thicken the sauce as they soften. It's usually brought to the table in the pot and shared, with rice and kimchi, and the last of the sauce is spooned over rice. Chef's tip: blanch the chicken for 3 minutes and rinse it first; this takes away scum and excess fat, so the sauce stays bright and clean-tasting.
