KOREAN STREET FOOD! #seoul
Gimbap 김밥
As a beloved South Korean food, you can be assured gimbap is available in restaurants and on the street too. Packed onto street carts, often accompanied by tteokbokki, gimbap begins with a sheet of seaweed that’s filled with rice, a few pickled veggies and a slice of egg. The street version is normally pre-made and wrapped in plastic to remain moist and soft.
What I liked most about the street style gimbap was the toasted sesame seeds sprinkled on top!
A portion, consisting of about 4 – 6 bite sized rolls goes for 1,500 Won ($1.32)
Jjinmandu 찐만두 (or just Mandu)
Korean mandu is eaten both in sit down restaurants and also on the street. These particular dumplings were resting in the warm outdoor air, just asking to be devoured.
Cost – 3,000 ($2.63) for a plate of 3 – 5 mandu dumplings
in Myeongdong, there’s no shortage of modern trendy and tasty street food treats to taste. This plate of deep fried dumplings was sliced with scissors, piled with sliced cabbage and drenched in tomato chili sauce and teriyaki sauce.
Twigim 튀김 (Korean Deep Fried Vegetables)
Deep frying is one of the world’s favorite street food cooking methods – crunchy, greasy, and packed full of tastiness. I don’t think there’s a culture in the world where deep frying is not present and Korea has lots of deep fried goodies.
Very similar to Japanese tempura, Twigim is a greasy man’s favorite treat – slices of veggies fried and waiting on the side of the street to be ordered. Twigim goes great with a few beers!
