Korean Foods I crave...

So, my list used to be quite extensive.

My all time fav was Tang su Yook which is deep fried

pork with veggies in a sweet sauce.

However, I no longer eat meat. I do still eat seafood though.

If you are a pescatarian like me or just dont like to eat

much meat I just thought I'd share a few

Korean foods that I love to eat.

I cant wait to have these things in Seoul !

I really dont know how to accurately explain

the tastes if you havent tried korean food before.

If you haven't I strongly recommend you check out

a place near you or..the next time you go to an area 

that has one !

 

If you are a meat lover try bulgogi, pork bone soup, 

or tangsuyook for your first time : ) 

These are tasty things that arent too unusual.

1. Dwenjjang Chigae

Heart Warming, flavourful soup.

Very filling and yummy.

It might take some getting used to as it 

is made with a slightly pungent fermented

soy bean paste but I love it.

2.  Tuna Kimbap

Kimbap is basically korean sushi. Except the fillings are 

quite different. Many times they are filled with meats that 

can be sitting out in the sun for a while.

 Compared to how in Japan sushi is often made with

 raw fish & must be kept chilled.

The reason is that many older women sell these all day

 on the sidewalk. They sometimes have ham inside.

 I prefer tuna.

I like to dip these in ddukbokki sauce ! 

3. Ddukbokki

Ddukbokki is basically thick rice cakes.

Its simmered in spicy red pepper sauce

with fish cake and eggs. 

The texture might take some getting used to

but its truly a staple street food. 

Its so fun to eat this in tent restaurants.

4. Grilled Mackrel

I love korean style grilled mackerel. Its so perfectly

crispy and tasty. I like to dip mine in some 

red pepper paste and eat it with white rice.

5. Hoddeuk

Omggg - I love this so much.

Its a dessert that you find on the streets in Korea.

Its filled with brown sugar and crushed up nuts.

The outside is a crispy dense yummy pastry.

Its so freaking delicous.

Good news - you can buy a packaged mix online.

You can actually make all of these things at home

by ordering some ingredients on the internet

and by following aeriskitchen or maangchi on

youtube.
