Seoul Street Food - Part 1

Seoul Street Food - Part 1


Seoul Street Food is part of the larger tapestry of Korean cuisine in South Korea. Unique for being a largely standalone cuisine, with little outside influence, Korean cuisine originated from an agricultural society, and through interaction with the natural environment. Seoul Street Food can be broadly classified into 3 categories; main staple dishes, side dishes, and desserts.

Bibimbap / Mixed Rice

Food in Seoul can be found along the streets in pushcarts or small cafes, in mid-range restaurants, and fine-dining establishments. Korean cuisine is largely based on rice and legumes, with dishes being heavy on seasoning, and usually include fermented items. As a result, many dishes taste tangy, salty, sour, or spicy. Common ingredients used in many Seoul and South Korea dishes include white rice, soybeans, tofu / beancurd, Tteok / Dduk / rice cakes, sesame oil, doenjang / fermented soybean paste, soy sauce, salt, garlic, ginger, gochujang / fermented red chili paste, cabbage, barley, buckwheat, mung beans, adzuki red beans, vinegar, onions, beef, chicken, pork, mackerel fish, hairtail fish, Pacific herring fish, anchovies, shrimp / prawns, octopus, cuttlefish, squid, cucumber, potato, sweet potato, spinach, bean sprouts, seaweed, zucchini, mushrooms, chili and more.

A typical Korean meal is usually a communal affair, with several main dishes all served at the same time, alongside a variety of side dishes known as Banchan. These Banchan are mostly vegetables, and are free-flow / unlimited servings; you can get refills. There is a strict dining etiquette in Korean culture, with the eldest normally being served first, dishes laid out on the table in a specific order, and meals eaten in silence.

Everything (seasonings, rice, vegetables) is stirred together in a large bowl (hence the name), before being eaten.

As the oldest liquor in the country, Makgeolli / Rice Wine, also known as Nongju, is a drink favoured by the working-person. Made from nothing more than fermented white rice, yeast, and water, this milky, semi-sweet, slightly fizzy alcoholic beverage is surprisingly healthy, with up to 10% composed of lactic acid bacteria and dietary fiber. This unfiltered rice wine has an almost universal appeal, from both genders, youth to elderly, and even celebrities.

Known for its high calcium and iodine content, the Miyeok Julgi Bokkeum / Sauteed Seaweed is a Banchan / side dish that's made with seaweed, onions, garlic, corn syrup / honey, soy sauce, salt, sesame seeds, and sesame oil.

The Pat Bing Su / Red Beans With Ice is a popular Korean shaved ice dessert, with the traditional version consisting of shaved ice, adzuki red beans, ground peanuts, Tteok / Dduk / rice cakes, and milk. Today, there are many different variations, and various ingredients can be added, such as fruits, cereal, flavoured syrups, yoghurt, ice cream, green tea, coffee, whipped cream, and more. I personally prefer the normal original version, which today leave out the Tteok / Dduk / rice cakes, for its sweet, earthy, creamy milky flavour. The shaved ice should be smooth and silky in texture, not grainy.
