As interest in various Korean media such as Korean dramas, Korean movies, and Korean music increases, more and more foreigners are interested in Korea itself. There are many people who want to come to Korea to experience Korean culture, go to places they have seen in dramas, and eat delicious Korean food, right?

However, no matter how long you travel in Korea, you cannot try all Korean food during your trip. That's why I think there are many people who want to go and eat as much as they are introduced to the representative food that they must eat. I would like to introduce two Korean foods that I would like to recommend to such people to try when they come to Korea.

Buchimgae, called Korean-style pizza, and makgeolli, which adults can try

Have you heard of pancakes? If you are a fan of Korean dramas or movies, you must have seen round and thin pieces of food torn and eaten with chopsticks. Pancakes are also called pancakes, which means food cooked in oil.

There are so many different types of pancakes. There are many kinds of kimchi pancakes, one of Korea's representative foods, such as kimchi pancakes with kimchi, seafood and green onion pancakes, and potato pancakes. Usually, these ingredients are put in flour, etc., and they are spread thinly on oil and baked, but in the case of potato pancakes, they are also made using only potatoes.

One of the reasons why we recommend pancakes is that you can enjoy a variety of flavors and that even first-time Korean food eaters can easily eat Korean pizza. Also, the feeling of eating is not a food that requires adaptation, but rather a food that anyone can easily eat. In particular, in the case of kimchi pancake, it is good for those who want to try kimchi, one of Korea's representative foods, but are not confident in trying kimchi for the first time. It is because it is mixed with flour and baked to make it much less spicy and more comfortable to eat.

Also, if you are an adult, I recommend you to try makgeolli, which goes very well with pancakes. Makgeolli is a traditional Korean alcoholic beverage made from rice. Makgeolli and pancakes go very well together, so if you like alcohol, it will be a very satisfying meal. But even if you can't drink alcohol, just eating pancakes is delicious!

When you watch Korean dramas and movies, you often see people grilling meat over a fire. You can see a lot of them going to shops where they grill meat as well as at home. Of course, grilling and eating meat is common in any country, but Korea's distinctive barbecue is samgyeopsal.

Samgyeopsal is the belly part of a pig. In foreign countries, it is mainly made with bacon, but in Korea, raw meat is grilled and eaten. Pork belly is very soft as it has a lot of fat, but when you grill it, the outer part becomes slightly crispy and tastes much better.

As it is a food that Koreans love, when you come to Korea, you can easily see a restaurant where you can eat samgyeopsal anywhere, and they have very delicious samgyeopsal. In addition, you can enjoy a different taste through various side dishes that can be eaten with pork belly, and it can be said that ssam, which is wrapped in vegetables and eaten with pork belly, not only tastes good, but also provides health. In Korean dramas and movies, you can see a scene where you wrap and give samgyeopsal wraps to your loved ones.

Don't you want to try these two representative foods of Korea just by reading the article? It's a dish that you can easily eat anywhere in Korea, so if you come to Korea, be sure to try it!
