On the 14th, five teams of Jeonju University students in the department of foodservice industry were awarded by winning the prizes including the first and third place in the ‘7th National Korean Wheat Cooking Contest’.

With the intention of expanding the production and consumption of Korean wheat and developing diverse recipes using Korean wheat, the Korean wheat cooking contest was fiercely competitive with 60 general and university teams participating.

Participants presented diverse creative dishes using Korean wheat. Among them, the most outstanding dish was the first place winning dish, “Bulgogi tart with tomato salsa” made by Hyo-Chan Han and Ho-jun Choi (the department of the foodservice industry, sophomore) from Jeonju University. The judges praised not only the taste of the dish, but also the texture, popularity, and commerciality.
