My first Seolleongtang haha Miss this one..

I came across a Korean dish in a television series, but the subtitles merely referred to it as "rice cake." However, when I attempted to search for "Korean rice cake" on the internet, the only results that appeared were for Tteok-bokki.

this had the perfect spice for me unlike other flavours where my mouth went numb. Can i get any other flavor recommendations which is similar to carbonara spice level?

Featuring dubu jorim ( recipe : https://www.koreanbapsang.com/?s=Jjigae) with seafood mushrooms.

I notice that as I get older, I become more intolerant to Korean food.

Specifically, the very strong sour/fermented taste, as well the overpowering aspect of common ingredients in Korean ingredients, like gochujang, doenjang, soy sauce, gochugaru, etc.

I notice that I get older, I cannot handle fermented kimchi. Not sure what it is, but I just feel sensitive to the sour taste, especially as a jar of kimchi is left fermenting for over a month.

Even besides kimchi, things that heavily use fermented pastes, like doenjang and gochujang, like various muchim for banchan, are just too overpowering. I am not sure what it is, but the powerful punch from it just overpowers my palette and fatigues me.

And even aside from fermented foods, the use of salt, soy sauce, , red chili powder , garlic, sugar, makes other dishes too strong for me. For example, bulgogi is just too sweet. No matter what, wheneer I have bulgogi, all I taste is sugary sweetness. Also, Myeolchi (small, stir fried anchovies) used to be one of my favorite side dishes, but now I am overpowered by the sweetness.

I would like to experience eating at a Korean bbq restaurant however I’m unsure because I have no idea what and how to order (also note I’m not a big fan of meat! )

Hey everyone!

I’m traveling to Seoul for a business trip and will be staying there for a week. During my stay, I’d love to pick up some quality kitchenware. Does anyone have recommendations for the best stores in the Seoul area where I can find traditional / modern kitchen tools?

Also, I’m thinking of bringing some condiments f. What are some must-bring items, or is there anything I should definitely buy locally instead? Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance! 🙏

I don't live anywhere near Coscto so I can't get Hormel's Natural Choice anymore.

A delicious Korean steak in Seoul at a HyundaiOk (현대옥) branch in Seoul.

It looks very similar to a pork cutlet (Tonkatsu).

The style of steaks and pork cutlets originates from Japan which is a twist on the Western recipes.

Price around 10000 won / $7.50.

2 delicious gimbab at a 싸다김밥 (Ssada Gimbab) branch in Seoul.

In the back 소고기김밥 (grounded beef gimbab). In the front 돈까스김밥 (pork cutlet gimbab).

Price 5000 won each which is around $3.70.

My kimchi pancakes are coming out kinda gummy and soggy ? Any tips to make them crisp ?

i eat this soup so often and i literally forgot what it was called, and i can't find it anywhere online

i know what's in it, but when i search up things that i think would yield it, i get tteokguk instead and i don't think that's what this is. i could be wrong, but i think the name was longer and it doesn't have some of the ingredients that tteokguk has.

the broth is super sweet (in my opinion), it only has beef, glass(?) noodles & rice cakes (ive only ever eaten it with the ovalette-shaped ones, but idk). the name is on the tip of my tongue, google isnt being helpful and im gonna lose my mind. please help me out :D

edit, found it! it's 뚝배기 불고기/ttukbaegi bulgogi, the ones on google have mushrooms + some kind of green vegetable but i never even knew they had mushrooms/vegetables.. so i guess the weird description is on me. thank u for the help!

It is one of my favorite Korean good. I love that it has spicy, sweet, sour flavor.

I gotta say Bibimbap is one of my favorite Korean foods because of the diversity of the plate. It has carbs, protein, vegetables, a bit of fat from the meat, and it tastes so good! Love a yummy healthy meal 🫶🏻

In the Netflix Show, A Nation of Banchan Episode 2, the hosts of the show go to a small home cooked food type spot run by an old lady in Hamyang-gun, South Gyeongsang Province. (Time: 14:45 to 24:45). She makes Acorn Jelly and fries a bunch of flowers dipped in batter along with some namul.

I've tried to find out where exactly this spot is but haven't been able to. Can anybody help me find this spot? Thank you!!

Today I eat this noodles and found it very delicious. Couldn't control myself from sharing 😋😍😍😍
