RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Gaza, 29 March 2022. Palestinian chef Samah Haboub cooks Korean meals at her home in Gaza City. STORYLINE: The Palestinian chef said Korean meals put rice and appetizers to great use. Korean food does not need a lot of cooking and preparation time, and it is preferably served hot to savor its taste and flavors,” she added. When Haboub returned to the Gaza Strip, she began preparing Korean meals and served them to relatives and friends, who always wanted more. She found herself cooking more and more Korean food. “Everybody was curious about it,” she said. As the demand increased, Haboub decided to turn this into a business by using social media to market the dishes she prepared. So she launched a Facebook page to receive orders. She was surprised to see the multiple queries about the dishes, ingredients, prices and whether buyers should come pick the food up or have it delivered. “Most clients order shrimp or chicken sushi or bulgogi, meat barbecued in a special sauce. People also like tteokbokki, hot and spicy rice cakes. Many order noodles, spicy salads or the seafood soup rich with prawns and salmon. The demand is growing,” she said, adding that she was proud to have an increasing pool of customers who like sushi and other Korean dishes. Haboub prepares the dishes in her kitchen and sells them online and through fast delivery at prices ranging from 25 to 30 shekels [around $7 to $8]. She also throws in wooden chopsticks, which her brother sends her, along with special spices and sauces she cannot get in Gaza. Footage by/ APAwire
