Seoul, South Korea
6 dishes to eat in Seoul, what is in them, and where they belong.
Cooked at the table, wrapped in lettuce with garlic, ssamjang and grilled kimchi. Banchan side dishes are free and refilled.
Rice under arranged vegetables, egg and gochujang, mixed vigorously before eating. Jeonju is the classic version.
Chewy rice cylinders in a sweet-hot gochujang sauce — the defining street snack, sold from carts and specialist chains.
A whole young chicken stuffed with rice, ginseng and jujube in a clear broth. Traditionally eaten on the hottest days of summer.
Cold buckwheat noodles in an icy broth with mustard and vinegar added at the table. A North Korean dish now standard in Seoul.
Twice-fried for a thin, brittle crust, glazed in soy-garlic or gochujang, and traditionally eaten with beer.
