Welcome to Seoul! Your taste buds are in for a real treat here in a city so full
of culinary diversity and vibrant flavors that youll never look at eating the
same way again. There is a vast wealth of delicacies to suit all palates and
so we encourage you to be bold, to experiment, and above all, to enjoy the
dining experience of a lifetime!

The already famous kimchi and galbi are only the tip of the iceberg, but
through these two dishes one can see the fundamental characteristics of
Korean cuisine, which are health and nutrition.

However, Seoulites also enjoy international cuisines, and so the visitor will
find themselves spoiled for choice with the many thousands of restaurants
available across the city. Whether it be Michelin-star French bistros,
celebrated Japanese restaurants, or classy Mediterranean establishments,
Seoul has it all. The number of Italian restaurants alone exceeds 7,000.

The cooking methods employed in hansik, or Korean cuisine, bring out the
distinct flavors of the ingredients, and the natural condiments and seasonings
also enhance the rich aromas of each dish produced. This perhaps goes some
way towards explaining the growing acclaim for hansik by chefs from around
the world as a fresh and healthy cuisine essential for the busy fast-food
driven culture of today.

Whenever youre feeling hungry, Seoul can serve you 24 hours a day, 7
days a week. The city is alive with fun and excitement literally round the
clock, and you can see this in the food it offers. From fancy restaurants that
are only open to reservations, to humble grilling establishments welcoming
diners 24/7 Seoul is overflowing with culinary wealth. And, as unique
and diverse as these establishments are, they all have one thing in common:
they are all second to none when it comes to taste.

In addition to its efficacy, hansik is also characterized by its great diversity, and
visitors to Seoul will find every aspect of Koreas regional culinary variations
throughout the capital. From fresh seafood caught in the southern waters of the
peninsula to aromatic mountain greens harvested from the picturesque peaks
of the east, Seoul is the focal point for sampling the ingredients of the nation, as
famous restaurants from around Korea have opened up branches in Seoul.

Food is a great motivator. And although in the primitive era gathering

food was life itself, in todays world, whats more important than finding
something to eat is finding something good to eat. Food goes beyond
eating; it is something to be enjoyed. A big part of traveling includes foods,
new foods and good tasting foods.
A countrys unique food culture is a valuable intangible asset that reflects
the countrys culture. The current Korean meal, which consists of grains as
its staple food and vegetables and meats as side dishes, came to be in the 4th
Century during the Three Kingdoms era. The Korean peninsula, made up of
oceans, plains and mountains, produces a great amount of livestock, produce
and marine products. Korean cuisine started to gain worldwide recognition
especially once fermented foods became popular for their health properties.

Characteristics
of Hansik

Well-balanced and Nutritious

All-natural and Low in Fat

Korean meals are a careful balance of carbohydrates,

proteins, fibers, fats, vitamins and minerals. Starting with
rice or noodles, a typical Korean meal is enhanced with
various meats, fish, vegetables, seaweeds and fruits. Animal
fats are kept to a minimum, with the necessary fats and
other nutrients supplemented through seeds and nuts, in
particular sesame seeds, walnuts, pine nuts, and gingko nuts.

Koreas diverse climate allows for a wide array of seasonal ingredients,

including field and mountain greens, mushrooms, seafood and meats.
They are enjoyed not only for their distinctive flavors, but also as
nutritional supplements. Side dishes are typically not fried, while other
dishes including soups, stews, and meats are boiled. Meats in particular
are cooked by boiling and steaming for long periods to drain off and
reduce fat.

A Wealth of Condiments and Dressings

Devotion and Dedication

Korean dishes tend to be highly-seasoned and characteristically make use of soy sauce, sugar, green onions, garlic,
sesame seeds, sesame oil, black pepper, and chili powder
among other ingredients for flavoring. The predominance of
these natural additives help give Korean cuisine its signature
robust, sweet, and spicy tastes.

Ingredients found in a typical Korean dish are usually chopped, thinlysliced, shredded, or crushed during the preparation process, and the end
result is frequently tender and easy to digest. Kimchi in particular requires
dedicated effort during the cutting, seasoning, and fermentation stages of
its ingredients.

Jang, Kimchi,

Fermented Foods
that are Worth
the Wait

Jang, the Root of Korean Cuisine

Jeotgal, the Epitome of Fermentation

Making jang (a sauce or paste used as a condiment)

is a major annual event in a Korean household. Soy
sauce (ganjang) and soybean paste (doenjang) are
essential fermented condiments unique to Korea. First,
a substance known as meju is created by fermenting
boiled and mashed soybeans. The meju can then be
used to make jang: varieties include ganjang (soy sauce),
doenjang (soybean paste) and gochujang (Korean chili
paste). Doenjang and gochujang are also often served as
side dishes.

Jeotgal is a natural preserving additive made by salting

seafood. During fermentation, the proteins in the
ingredients break down, resulting in a unique aroma and
taste. The most widely used forms of jeotgal in kimchi
production are saeujeot (salted shrimp), jogijeot (salted
croaker), hwangseogeojeot (salted pollack) and myeolchijeot
(salted anchovy). Salted shrimp is often used to season
soups or stews, while salted anchovy is used for seasoning
vegetables.

Various Types of Kimchi

Baechu Kimchi (cabbage kimchi)

Kkakdugi (radish kimchi)
Bossam Kimchi (wrapped kimchi)
Baek kimchi (white kimchi)
Oi Sobagi (cucumber kimchi)
Dongchimi (radish water kimchi)

Kimchi, Providing Health to the Korean People

Kimchi is created by pickling certain types of vegetable
together and seasoning them with jang and /or vinegar
and other spices. Its distinctive taste derives from the
sour lactic acids formed during the fermentation process
and the spicy chili powderadded during preparation.
The ingredients and condiments used to make kimchi
vary widely according to the region, customs, and
personal preference of the person making it, resulting in
over 200 established varieties of the dish. Before winter
begins, most households will make enough kimchi to
last them through the cold season. This annual event is
known as gimjang.

Korean
Table Setting

A Korean table setting consists of a main dish accompanied

by various side dishes. The name of each table setting
depends upon the main dish being served. If it is rice, the
setting is known as bansang; if it is (rice) porridge, it is called
juksang, and if the main dish comprises noodles, dumplings,
or rice cake soup, the table setting is known as jangguksang.
Bansang, the most common, also changes its name depending
upon to whom it is being served. For example, if served
to the royal court, it becomes surasang, to the upper class,
jinjisang, and to the commoner, bapsang.
Although the number and types of side dishes on the table
have changed through the years, the main components
of rice and side dishes have remained the same. The basic
structure of the Korean meal consists of rice, soup, stew,
kimchi and several different condiments (jang). A table
with three side dishes is called a samcheop bansang, one with
five side dishes is called an ocheop bansang, and so on, with
Korean numerals (sam = 3; o = 5) prefixing cheop based on
the number of dishes present.

Traditionally, Korean cuisine is served on a communal table. The spoon

and chopsticks are placed to the right of the dinnerware, with the spoon
on the outside and the chopsticks on the inside. There is also a 2-person
table known as gyeomsang. The side dishes are centered on the older
person, and the rice, soup, and silverware are added for the younger
person.
Dishes are arranged in rows, with the first row facing the most senior
diner and containing a bowl of rice on the left, soup on the right and stew
behind. The second row contains the soy sauce, gochujang vinaigrette and
soy sauce vinaigrette, while the third and final row contains different types
of kimchi (such as dongchimi or nabak) placed on the right. Braised or
steamed dishes are placed behind the stew to the right of the table. The rest
of the side dishes can be placed anywhere, though salty sides such as pickles
(jangajji) or salted seafood (jeotgal ) are usually located on the left, while
seasoned vegetables (namul ) are placed in the center, and hot dishes such as
grilled meats are placed on the right.

Bibimbap
(Rice Mixed with Vegetables and Beef)

Bibimbap is one of Koreas most wellknown dishes. It is a dish that is very much in
line with the overall Korean food philosophy, as
it is both delicious and nutritious. Depending
on the ingredients used, bibimbap can be
a meat-based or vegetarian dish. Regions
throughout the Korean Peninsula have their
own unique versions of bibimbap, but the most
famous is the one from Jeonju-si in Jeollabukdo. The dish has changed over the years most
notably with todays practice of using chili
paste instead of soy sauce as in ancient times
likely in order to better savor the taste of each
individual ingredient.
018

Jeon (Korean Pancake)

Better known as Korean pancake, jeon is as popular

among tourists as is bibimbap. In Korea, people
enjoy eating jeon on rainy days, and it has been shown that
during the monsoon season, sales of oil and flour hit the
roof. Especially popular are pajeon, green onion pancake,
and kimchijeon, or kimchi pancake. Bindaetteok is a
pancake comprised of pork and kimchi added to a mung
bean batter. Although it is originally from the Hwanghaedo
and Pyeongando regions of North Korea, it is now enjoyed
throughout South Korea as well. Koreans will customarily
dip jeon in soy or other sauces to improve its flavor.

Bulgogi / Galbi

Koreans love meat so much so that it was even

written in ancient Chinese history books that
Koreans enjoy grilling meat. At one point in the Joseon
Dynasty, Koreans were eating so much meat that there were
not enough cows around to work the fields, and it became
prohibited to kill cows used for farming. Traditionally, meat
was and still is marinated in a sweet soy sauce-based
marinade before grilling, but since the 1980s, lightly salted
grilled beef has also become quite popular.

Samgyeopsal (Grilled Pork Belly)

Samgyeopsal is a cut of pork belly meat whose name

literally translates to three-layered meat. Although
two to three times more expensive than other pork cuts,
Koreans love samgyeopsal and the demand for it is so high
that it is even imported from countries such as Denmark and
France. Chunky slices of samgyeopsal are typically char-grilled
or cooked in a pan, then wrapped in lettuce or sesame leaf
with garlic and ssamjang (soybean dipping sauce), although
restaurants often also specialize in their own unique dipping
sauces. However, the best accompaniment to samgyeopsal is
none other than Korea's famous alcohol, soju.

Samgyetang (Ginseng Chicken Soup)

There is a strong belief in Korea that the bodys energy must be

replenished during the hot months of summer. Therefore when
the heat of summer is at its peak, many people will eat samgyetang, or
chicken ginseng soup. Samgyetang is made by stuffing a small hen with
ginseng, glutinous rice, garlic, jujubes and chestnuts then slow-cooking
the ingredients until the meat is tender. The resulting broth alone, slightly
bitter in taste, is considered efficacious and good for rejuvenating tired
bodies. Some samgyetang restaurants in Seoul also serve diners a shot of
insamju (ginseng liquor), before bringing the chicken, as it is believed that
a small amount of alcohol in advance actually helps the body absorb all the
nutrients from the food.

Yangnyeom Chicken (Spicy Fried Chicken)

Yangnyeom chicken is a uniquely Korean take on American-fried

chicken, which was first introduced into the country after the
Korean War and extremely popular by the 1980s. By the following decade,
Korean restaurateurs began experimenting with their own versions of the
dish, coating the chicken with a sweet and spicy sauce, and yangnyeom
chicken was born. Since then, further variations have appeared, with soy
sauce chicken being a key example. Yangnyeom is now a popular late-night
snack and typically served with beer. Chi-maek, meaning chicken and
maekju (beer), is a common slang used by young adults.

Foods in Seoul

Topokki (Stir-fried Rice Cake)

Topokki is Koreas representative street food, and

carts selling the snack can be found throughout
the streets of Seoul. The original topokki was made of
stir-fried garaetteok (cylindrical rice cakes) and beef in
soy sauce, and was served in the royal palace. After
the Korean War soy sauce was substituted with chili
paste, creating the topokki Koreans enjoy today. Most
topokki vendors also sell eomuk (fish cakes), sundae
(korean sausage) and twigim (fritters), which are also
recommended

Kimchi

Although kimchi, Koreas signature dish, can be

found almost everywhere in the world, the most
authentic varieties are surely still in Korea. Kimchi is a
must in a Korean meal, so much so that no restaurant
in Korea will charge extra for it. There are over 200
variations of kimchi today, with both regional and
seasonal variations determining which ingredients will
be used. The dish is made by mixing together Korean
cabbage, radish, pumpkin, onion, and other vegetables
with chili powder, crushed garlic and salted seafood,
which is then left to ferment. The measure of well-made
kimchi is the crispness of the cabbage leaves and its taste.

Makgeolli (Traditional Korean Rice Liquor)

Makgeolli is a traditional malt liquor, and when strained to a

refined clear liquor becomes cheongju (literally clear liquor), or
Korean sake. Makgeolli made for export needs to be sterilized, however as
the process destroys amino acids and bacteria actually considered good for
ones health, the reader is advised to try the original, unsterilized makgeolli
during their time in Seoul. The difference in taste will be apparent. This
traditional drink extremely popular in recent years goes well with most
Korean foods, but it goes especially well with kimchi or pajeon (green onion
pancake).

10

Patbingsu
(Shaved Ice with Sweetened Red Beans and Other Toppings)

Patbingsu is a life-saver on a hot and steamy summer day.

This enticing dessert was originally made with shaved ice and a topping
of red beans, rice cake and milk, though todays toppings also include ice
cream, powdered grains, fruits, jellies, and other ingredients. The essence
of patbingsu is the quality of the ice (including the water used to make the
ice), followed by the quality and sweetness of the red beans and also the
chewiness of the rice cake. Koreans usually mix all the ingredients together
before eating it, but this makes the delicate ice flakes melt faster. Therefore,
it is better to enjoy it unmixed, one scoop at a time.

Gwangjang Market Korean Pancake Alley

A traditional market more than 100 years old, Gwangjang Market

is the place to go for quick eats. The more popular treats are the
finger-sized gimbap (Korean rolls) flavored with a unique wasabi dip, beef
tartare, and bindaetteok (mung bean pancake). The mung beans used for the
pancake are ground the traditional way (using a millstone), then kimchi and
various other ingredients are added and cooked on an oiled iron grill. Both
bindaetteok and gogijeon, a meat pancake, are popular favorites.

Sindang-dong Topokki Alley

Whether it is day or night, this topokki alley is always crowded. Here,

topokki is cooked directly at your table in a large pan filled with rice
cakes, fish cakes, fried dumplings, hardboiled eggs, ramen noodles, jjolmyeon
noodles and various vegetables. Each restaurant has its own special sauce, so
no two venues are the same. Generally however, the topokki of this area is
sweeter than it is spicy. After youve eaten all the rice cake, you can mix rice
and crushed laver seaweed in the remaining sauce. As most of the restaurants
here are open 24 hours a day, its a great place for a late-night snack. The
topokki alley is located near the Dongdaemun History & Culture Park.

Ojang-dong Hamheung-style
Chilled Buckwheat Noodles Alley

When the Korean War ended in 1953, many

from the North took refuge across the border, eventually
settling down in Ojang-dong, a neighborhood in Central
Seoul. Whenever they missed their hometown, the
older generation in Ojang-dong would eat Hamheung
naengmyeon. Naengmyeon, a soup of cold, chewy noodles
made from sweet potato, becomes Hamheung naengmyeon
with the addition of sweet and spicy gochujang (chili
paste). You can offset the spiciness with a cup of beef
broth. The dish is a particular favorite in the summer.

This is where jokbal, or steamed pigs trotters originated from. After

being boiled in soy sauce, ginger and garlic for a long period of time,
the meat and skin of the pigs trotters become chewy and tender. It can
be dipped in saeujeot (salted shrimp), or eaten with makguksu, a spicy cold
noodle dish that comes with jokbal. Jokbal is known to be a collagen rich
food good for the skin.

Mapo Marinated Beef & Pork Rib Alley

When dinner time arrives in Mapo, the smell of barbecued

pork and beef envelops the district. Although marinated beef is
the main menu item, there are also many other beef and pork dishes
to tickle the palates of all, including the popular favorite, sweet and
tender grilled pork ribs. For an even meatier taste, try hangjeongsal
(pork neck) or moksal (pork neck bone meat).

building of about 30 restaurants. No matter how
cold or hot, come rain or snow, Sundae Town is always
packed with people. Most restaurants are open until
1am and some are open 24 hours a day. Korean sausage
is very similar to the German blutwurst in form and
ingredients. Restaurants here also serve sundae sauted
with vegetables. This sweet and spicy dish will make you
come back for more.

Filled with many traditional pubs serving traditional

liquors, this is an especially good area to experience
the drinking culture of Korean university students. Of
particular note are the eight pajeon (green onion pancake)
restaurants lining both sides of the main street. Haemul
pajeon, or seafood and green onion pancake, is the the most
popular accompaniment to liquors such as makgeolli or
dongdongju. These pancakes, which are dipped in a special
onion sauce, are very filling and easy on the wallet. In Korea,
pajeon is a favorite on rainy days.

Heukseok-dong Pork Rib Alley

Another good place to experience university culture, where diners sit

Korean Pancakes

vegetarians
Korean cuisine is very tasty, healthy and vegetarianfriendly. Below is a list of recommended dishes and
restaurants for vegetarians.
Korean Food Foundation

Recommended
Korean Foods
for Vegetarians

Wild Vegetable Bibimbap

Bibimbap is a representative Korean dish that pleases both the
eye and mouth. An assortment of aromatic wild vegetables
are arranged on top of steamed rice and mixed with Korean
chili paste (gochujang). Although the original bibimbap
has beef, there are many variations like the wild vegetable
bibimbap (sanchae bibimbap).

Tofu Dishes
Soft tofu is a common side dish ingredient on the Korean
table. To make tofu, beans soaked in water are ground, then
solidified with salt water. Popular tofu dishes include tofu
simmered in soy sauce, tofu and kimchi, soft tofu stew, and
more. Koreans call beans the beef of the fields, hence they
are a great protein food for vegetarians.

Kimchi pancakes, green onion

pancakes and mung bean pancakes
- these are a few of the many
Korean pancake variations. Theyre
crunchy on the outside and moist
on the inside, and you can choose
what to put in the pancake.
These pancakes taste best when
shared with friends, so order a few
pancakes with friends, and dont
forget to order makgeolli.

seasoned with soy sauce. This is the

most common japchae, but there is
also burdock japchae, bean sprout
japchae and leek japchae.

Jelly
This is a savory jelly, which takes
many forms and colors depending
upon the ingredients used. Acorn
jelly, for example, is brown while
mung bean jelly has an opaque
whiteness. It is very filling, yet
extremely low in calories and
hence ideal for those on a diet. It
is typically dipped in soy sauce or
mixed with crown daisies, cucumber,
carrots and other vegetables and
seasoned like a salad.

TIP

Temple Food

Temple food is good for the mind and the body.

It avoids meats and strongly scented ingredients
such as garlic, wild rocambole, green onions, and
the like. Most ingredients are gathered from the
slopes of mountains instead of the supermarket
and seasonal vegetables are naturally flavored.

Japchae
This is a dish almost always present
on festive occasions. Various vegetables

eggs and salted seafood werent used as minor ingredients.
3 Koreans usually use beef, anchovies, or dried shrimp as a soup base.
Make sure it is a vegetable based broth.

Ask for these to be left out when ordering.
In some cases beef broth is used in making rice, so be sure to check.
7 Ramen, noodles, dumplings and other dishes that claim to be
meat-less may not be vegetarian.
8 If you are at a barbecue restaurant, you can ask for a bowl of rice and
eat the vegetable side dishes.
