Korean temple cuisine originated in Buddhist temples of Korea. Since [[Buddhism in Korea|Buddhism]] was introduced into Korea, [[Buddhist]] traditions have strongly influenced Korean cuisine, as well. During the [[Silla]] period (57 BCE&nbsp;– 935 CE), ''chalbap'' (찰밥, a bowl of cooked [[glutinous rice]]) ''[[yakgwa]]'' (a fried dessert) and ''[[yumilgwa]]'' (a fried and puffed rice snack) were served for Buddhist altars and have been developed into types of ''hangwa'', Korean traditional [[confectionery]]. During the [[Goryeo]] period, ''[[Ssam|sangchu ssam]]'' (wraps made with lettuce), ''[[yaksik]]'', and ''yakgwa'' were developed, and since spread to China and other countries. Since the Joseon dynasty, Buddhist cuisine has been established in Korea according to regions and temples.<ref name="Doosan">{{cite web |url=http://www.doopedia.co.kr/doopedia/master/master.do?_method=view&MAS_IDX=101013000875217 |title=Sachal eumsik (사찰음식 寺刹飮食) |publisher=[[Doosan Encyclopedia]] |language=ko |access-date=2015-07-02 |archive-date=23 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923230223/http://www.doopedia.co.kr/doopedia/master/master.do?_method=view&MAS_IDX=101013000875217 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="Segye">{{cite web|url=http://www.segye.com/content/html/2008/05/08/20080508002244.html|script-title=ko:심신이 맑아지는 사찰음식…마음까지 정갈|publisher=Seyeo Ilbo|author=Song, Min-seop (송민섭)|language=ko|date=2005-05-08|access-date=2015-07-02|archive-date=2 July 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150702232652/http://www.segye.com/content/html/2008/05/08/20080508002244.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

On the other hand, [[Korean royal court cuisine|royal court cuisine]] is closely related to Korean temple cuisine. In the past, when the royal court maids, ''[[sanggung]]'', who were assigned to ''Suragan'' ({{Korean|hangul=수라간|hanja=[[wikt:水剌間|水剌間]]|labels=no}}; the name of the royal kitchen), where they prepared the king's meals, became old, they had to leave the royal palace. Therefore, many of them entered Buddhist temples to become nuns. As a result, culinary techniques and recipes of the royal cuisine were integrated into Buddhist cuisine.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://media.daum.net/breakingnews/view.html?issueid=2699&newsid=20080401135025545&cp=hankookis |script-title=ko:사찰 음식, 정신을 수양하며 건강을 먹는다 |publisher=[[JoongAng Ilbo]] via [[Daum (web portal)|Daum]] News |language=ko |date=2008-04-01 |access-date=2015-07-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150703012516/http://media.daum.net/breakingnews/view.html?issueid=2699&newsid=20080401135025545&cp=hankookis |archive-date=2015-07-03 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
