I had a feeling that I was going to love Korean food, and I was right! My love for Korean food first started when I started eating Shin Ramen in the States. For those of you who may not know what Shin Ramen is... it is a really spicy instant ramen meal that you can find at most grocery stores. It is extremely spicy! When I was younger, I was not able to handle spice at all, but my love for Shin Ramen helped me develop my tolerance for spicy food, and now I LOVE spicy food.
Well, I was in for a treat, as I am visiting in Korea! Korean dishes tend to be spicy, and I've had my share of very flavorful dishes. I thought I would share some of my favorite meals in Korea with you all.
On my first night in Korea, we went to a Korean Pancake restaurant. Korean pancake is not like American pancake, as their dishes are always savory, not sweet. Below is a green onion pancake we ordered! Absolutely delicious!
In the morning, I got a dish called Lamien, which is similar to Shin Ramen. It is made with instant noodles, and it is extremely spicy. Different restaurants, will have their own twist on Lamien by adding different vegetables to it. This particular dish had cheese on it!
Next up is, Tofu soup. This is one of my favorite dishes to eat. It is perfect when the weather is freezing outside. It is served boiling hot, and you eat this soup with rice!
So Korean's really know how to fry chicken! They did an awesome job getting this dish perfectly crispy!
I also enjoy that Korean's serve many side dishes. These plates do not cost extra, and they are unlimited. MMmm!
I've enjoyed every meal I have had in Korea so far. What Korea dishes have you tried that you have really enjoyed? Feel free to leave them below. Maybe I can go try them out!
love,
Karen
