    KOREAN FOOD

    TTEOKBOKKI ( 떡볶이 )

    • This iconic red-orange street food is so popular there’s


    an entire part of Seoul just devoted to the steamed and
    sliced rice cakes (tteok), cooked with fish cakes (oden)
    and scallions in a sweet and spicy sauce made of chili
    paste.

    • Chefs have been known to put all sorts of things inside


    the sauce, from the black soybean paste to plain old
    ketchup. Call us masochists, but one thing is certain:
    the more pepper, the better.
    SAMGYEOPSAL ( 삼겹살 )

    • Samgyeopsal is the Korean word for pork belly, and


    it’s a staple at what many Westerners know simply as
    Korean BBQ restaurants.

    • The best part of eating in a samgyeopsal restaurant is


    the atmosphere – a rollicking party punctuated by soju
    shots, pork strips sizzling on a grill and shouts for
    “one more serving, please!”

    • Served with lettuce, perilla leaves, sliced onions and


    raw garlic, the meat is smudged in ssamjang (a mix of
    soybean paste called ‘doenjang’ and chili paste called
    ‘gochujang’) or salt and pepper in sesame oil.
    KIMCHI STEW ( 김치찌개 )

    • A lesser-known fact about kimchi is its versatility as an


    ingredient in a whole slew of derivative dishes, which
    comprise a category of their own.
    • In kimchi-jjigae, red cabbage kimchi is chopped,
    sauteed in oil, and cooked with tofu, pork (sometimes
    tuna), and other vegetables.
    • Despite the stew’s debt to kimchi, you know it has
    come into its own when it’s served with kimchi as a
    side dish.
    SAMGYETANG ( 삼계탕 )

    • Korean ginseng chicken soup.


    • Koreans have a saying that goes, “fight heat with
    heat.” What that means is they love to eat boiling hot
    dishes on the hottest summer days.
    • The most representative of these is samgyetang, a
    thick, glutinous soup with a whole stuffed chicken
    floating in its boiling depths.
    • The cooking process tones down the ginseng’s
    signature bitterness and leaves an oddly appealing,
    aromatic flavor in its stead – a flavor that permeates an
    entire bird boiled down to a juicy softness.
    BIBIMBAP ( 비빔밥 )

    • This Korean lunch-in-a-bowl mixes together a simple


    salad of rice, mixed vegetables, rice, beef, and egg, with
    sesame oil and a dollop of chili paste for seasoning.
    • Although Korean kings from yesteryear would probably
    be shocked at how the royal dish has become so
    ingrained into the palate of the masses, we love how
    cheaply and quickly we can devour our favorite lunch.
    NAENGMYEON ( 냉면 )

    • In South Korea we wait for summer just so we can start eating


    naengmyeon every week. The cold buckwheat noodles are great as a
    lightweight lunch option or after Korean barbecue, as a way to cleanse
    the palate.

    • Mul naengmyeon, or “water” naengmyeon, hailing from North


    Korea’s Pyongyang, consists of buckwheat noodles in a tangy meat or
    kimchi broth, topped with slivers of radish, cucumber, and egg, and
    seasoned with vinegar and Korean mustard (gyeoja).

    • Bibim naengmyeon, or “mix” naengmyeon, generally contains the


    same ingredients, but minus the broth. The noodles are instead
    covered in a sauce made from chili paste.
    BULGOGI ( 불고기 )

    • Bulgogi is becoming as well-known as kimchi


    across the rest of the world.
    • If galbi represents Korean barbecue, then
    bulgogi’s playing field is Korean cuisine as a
    whole. This well-known sweet meat dish, which
    has existed in some form for over a thousand
    years, was haute cuisine during the Joseon
    Dynasty.

    • The dish is also a fusion favorite: bulgogi-flavored


    burgers are part of the menu at fast food franchise
    Lotteria, and there have also been sightings of
    other adaptations like the bulgogi panini.
