Mix all the ingredients together and bibimbap makes for a fantastic lunchtime delight. I enjoyed both the cold and hot versions, but given the choice, I preferred the scorching hot dolsot bibimbap.
Similar to jiaozi in China or gyoza in Japan, Korean mandu dumplings are noodle like wrappers stuffed with a variety of different ingredients. Pork, onions, cabbage, carrots, and mung bean noodles are all common ingredients within these pillows of delicious goodness.
They are most delicious when serving piping hot and dipped in the soy vinegar sauce provided. I was fascinated how South Korean food incorporates extremely piping hot dishes as well as extremely cold dishes.
These buckwheat noodles are originally from Pyongyang in North Korea, but they are widely available in South Korea as well. I loved the gummy texture of the noodles and the sesame seed essence in the soup. Though every bite made me colder, I highly enjoyed this bowl of kimchi flavored bibim naengmyeon. The noodles were thin and chewy, topped with slices of cucumber, cabbage, a hard boiled egg, and a slosh of sour kimchi flavored ice.
The Korean version is wonderful — chewy stir fried sweet potato noodles mixed with slivers of carrots, cucumber, onions, mushrooms and sometimes pieces of meat. South Korean food includes a variety of pancakes. These are not your ordinary pan fried hot cakes with a bit of syrup on top, Korean pancakes are salty, filled with tons of ingredients and fried in lots of oil! Among the selection, one pancake I really enjoyed eating, again at the Gwangjang Market, was the mung bean pancake known as bindaetteok.
Made from ground mung beans, green onions and kimchi, this beauty was deep fried and served with a vinaigrette dipping sauce. Eating Korean pancakes kind of reminded me of short eats in Sri Lankan food. This is kind of the chicken nuggets snack platter of modern Seoul.
I first found this dish in the bustling shopping district of Myeongdong at a chain restaurant. Spicy stir fried octopus, spicy daikon radish kimchi and plain rice and seaweed gimbap is a merger that was meant to be together. Similar to a Japanese style hand roll, gimbap is an assemblage of sushi rice, a few Korean pickled vegetables, spinach, and ham all wrapped in sheets of toasted seaweed.
Similar to mishkaki in Tanzania but these skewers in South Korea are lathered in an outrageously flavorful red chili sauce that will make your close your eyes and leave all your worries behind. One of the joys of any South Korean meal at a restaurant is all the little side dishes that are perpetually served. Though I stuffed in my share of banchan accompanying tidbits, this little bowl of curry pasted raw crab was one of the most memorable.
The crab was tender and awesomely tasty when coated in the thick red chili paste. Take a potato, cut it into a spiral and spread it out over a stick. Purchased in the midst of the Bukchon Hanok Village in Seoul, these little deep fried treats were packed with tastiness.
The vender had two options: One savory and one sweet. I preferred the salty version, a crispy thin gooey outer layer filled with glass noodles and garlicky pork! In Seoul for just 2 weeks, I was only able to eat a fraction of the South Korean food possibilities available — but what I did get to eat was extremely delicious.

Thank for Sharing With Us. Hey Mark! I recently visited South Korea and had the delicious taste of the food of this beautiful country. One of my favorites was Yaki Mandu, which is a common dish even here in the states. Another that I am not able to find here was called Yaki Mishi.
Do you know what this is? Thanks for the recipe. Grand Canyon What is the best time to hike? Requiring centuries to shape, the stones at the base of the actual gully are really dated to be more than 2 billion years of age. Lovely post and the pictures are making me hungry! All of these are especially delicious!
Are they any good? Oh man! I love Korean food. My roommates were Koreans and their mother loved me. She taught me so much. I wish I would have went with my husband to South Korea the three times he traveled there. I tried korean food in korean festival which was held in my city. I tried tteobokki, japchae, kimchi and bibdatteok. Kimchi was very sour for my taste but I want 2 try it again. Is that ur native country?
I love your work and it takes passion and dedication and hopefully you will be able to come to some places in Chinatown during day time and night time. My name is Chinaboon. I tried to make it here in Canada by myself, but it is so much better back in Korea. OMG, my mouth was watering when i saw each Korean Food. Wow awesone im craving for those kind of dishes i really love korean foods specially kimchi oh God I cant help my self to search more korean restaurant.
It was probably the first Korean dish my Korean mother-in-law ever made for me. Doenjung soup is another favorite! She uses firm dubu in hers but I love the silky texture of the soft dubu.
Found small mom and pop korean restaurant in Newport news, va. That is by far the best Korean Dish out there!! A hot bowl of samgyetang on a cold Korean evening with a plethora of accompanying side dishes is absolutely life changing. Great job listing everything else though! Ahhh this made me hungry, I wish I could have Korean food every day! I love your blog, I first saw one of your Youtube videos and later wondered over to your blog and one day I hope to be able to do this, I love your blog and thank you for the inspiration.
Much love from the US. Well tho i have never tried their food but i wish their ingredients were available at our local area so i could get the chance to cook them and eat cause they sound delicious…. Hi Mark. Huge fan of your blogs. It was particularly helpful during my solo Japan adventures.
I also share a lot of your videos with friends who are looking to travel. Like you, I travel for food as well. Do tell, all the dishes listed above are best enjoyed at one of the markets? I look fwd to hearing back from you buddy. Thanks for the post. My all time favorite is the. Soldotna bibimbap, esp the burnt bottom crunchy rice. But I love to cooked Asian dish. I just wanna say thank you for your writing. I am Korean also I studying in America.
But when i finished to read this writing , I really glad that you like Korean stuff. Anyway Thank you! Really enjoying your videos, keep going! Depending on the region and the cook, several selected ingredients are added or replaced. Hobakjuk is a traditional Korean porridge dish made from steamed pumpkins and sticky rice. Although it is quite simple, the dish offers a unique taste. Koreans often eat pumpkin porridge in the morning.
This dish can be hot or cold, but people usually like to slurp hot pumpkin porridge, especially on cold days. Kimchi is one of the oldest dishes in South Korea and is also a cultural feature. The dish is made from fermented and sour pickled vegetables and is usually served as a side dish in the main course. Japchae is also often served as a side dish in Korean meals, with the main ingredients including vermicelli mixed with stir-fried vegetables, beef, and a soy sauce. Depending on the cook, in some places, they may also add mushrooms or some other ingredients to this Korean delicacy.
Japchae is one of the must-try dishes in Korea because it has a mild, mouth-catching taste. When eating, you can enjoy a soft and chewy texture of vermicelli with a crispy taste of vegetables. Sundae is mainly stuffed with vermicelli and vegetables, barley, and some other special ingredients. You can find this dish in many places in South Korea, from luxury restaurants to street corner trolleys.
Each piece of potato is evenly thin, crunchy, and beautifully shaped with a tornado shape that will satisfy your taste buds. The broth of Seolleongtang soup is carefully simmered from beef bones. The ingredients of this dish include noodles, beef with a bit of onion, creating a cool yet nutritious flavor. As an upgraded version of Pajeon Korean pancakes , Haemul Pajeon is a pancake made with green onions, eggs, flour, rice flour, and seafood such as shrimp, squid, and clam. Seafood pancakes are often served as the main course and are loved for their softness combined with the toughness and richness of the seafood.

If you love meat, but also have a sweet tooth, this one's for you. It tastes a lot like galbi, but it's made with a thinner cut of meat. Okay, I know it's not much to look at, but this umami-rich soup is actually really good.
It tastes kind of like miso, but with a few slices of chili pepper and zucchini thrown in for extra savoriness.
A pinch of salt and pepper brings out the savory taste. Best enjoyed with a large group of friends, along with many bottles of soju and makgeolli. More serving suggestions here.
This is a great way to use kimchi that's ripened a little too much. Throw in some tofu, or a few slices of spam and sausage, and you've got a meal. This treat is best hot off the griddle, when every bite promises a sticky mess and a burnt tongue. It's especially delicious with cinnamon and chopped nuts in the filling. Pork bones are boiled with green vegetables until the meat is just barely hanging on to the bone — probably why you can eat this entire soup with just a pair of chopsticks.
This is the holy grail of street food. You can often get it with mozzarella melted over the entire platter, with a boiled egg, or with ramen on top. This stuff is as essential as bread and butter. It's spicy duh , crunchy, and kiiiind of salty, and goes well with literally every Korean dish. Not all comfort foods are hot. This vegetarian-friendly, nutty soup is best served with ice cubes and a few slivers of cucumber. It's traditionally served on Korean New Year , but also enjoyed throughout the year.
This is always the first banchan side dish to disappear. It's made by boiling beef in a seasoning of sugar, soy sauce, chili peppers, and vegetables until tender, and usually served with hardboiled eggs braised in soy sauce.
If you've ever tried potstickers, Korean mandu are basically the same thing, but with thinner skin. They're filled with everything from pork to cabbage and carrots. It's most often served as a side dish, though enough additions of beef, mushrooms, sprouts, and other vegetables could bump it up to main course status. These things are like Pringles — you really can't stop at just one bite. Fried, savory, and chewy, they're everything you'd ever want in an appetizer.
