The Green Market in Almaty, Kazakhstan, boasts foods from many parts of Central Asia, but a crowd favorite is Koryo-Saram. It’s a Korean cuisine developed after ethnic Koreans were deported from eastern Russia in the late 1930s. Those who settled in Kazakhstan adapted their ancestral food traditions to local ingredients and tastes. As The World’s Durrie Bouscaren reports from Almaty, the food is in high demand among locals and tourists alike.
