dolsot bibimbap ( , dolsot

meaning "stone pot"),

Dishes to Try
Kimchi [ ]: the pride of Korea; fermented vegetables, primarily cabbage in a variety of seasonings. Each kimchi is a little bit different but
vegetarians must ask to ensure that the particular version they are trying hasnt been made with saeujeot (shrimp sauce) or aekjeot
(fish sauce). Kimchi is like marmite. You will love it or hate it. I am the latter. Kimchi is available everywhere.
Bibimbap [ ]: it roughly translates as mixed rice and is a normally a mixture of both rice and vegetables. Often they will put an egg on top
and very occasionally, they like to sneak a little beef surprise into the bottom. Try to get the version without the beef. Bibimbap is a cheap dish
available from most orange shops (small, cheap, often 24 hour restaurants with orange signage outside).
(Spam free) Gimbap [ ] is a collection of strips of pickled vegetables (and sometimes spam), laid onto rice and sheets of seaweed that is
rolled into a sausage shape. It is very cheap and available as street food and in orange shops.
Somandu [ ] or Napjak-mandu: dumplings that can be grilled, fried, boiled, or steamed. They are often filled with glass noodles and
vegetables. Dont get other types of mandu (dumpling) because they are filled with meat or fish.
Bam [ ]: nothing more than roast chestnuts. A delicious street food available all over the country.
Gamja Jon [ ]: a tasty fried Korean pancake featuring potatoes that can be sliced or shredded. Cheap food that is great for sharing.
Doenjang Jigae [ ]: a soup made with doenjang (similar to miso). Be careful that seafood or pork isnt added.
Jap chae [ ]: a glass noodle and vegetable dish that is served cold, sometimes with ice. Once again be careful that a little meat surprise
isnt included.
Everything at Loving Hut: No meat worries, eat EVERYTHING.
Apologies for all the warnings of meat above, but Korean food really does vary from one establishment to another. Use the following vocabulary
