What kind of food should I try in South Korea?

South Korean cuisine is delicious and varied.

You should definitely try kimchi, a spicy fermented cabbage that’s served with almost every meal.

Other must-try dishes include bibimbap (mixed rice with vegetables and meat), bulgogi (marinated beef), and samgyeopsal (grilled pork belly).

Street food is also fantastic, with popular options like tteobokki (spicy rice cakes), hotteok (sweet pancakes), and gimbap (rice rolls).

Don’t forget to try Korean barbecue and wash it down with some soju or makgeolli (Korean rice win).
