Korean Food Recommendations for Winter
Korean Food Recommendations for Winter
This time, I will introduce Korean food to recommend in winter In Korea, there are various foods that we eat every season Let me introduce some of them
Winter food recommendation Oyster
Oyster is Korea’s beloved winter food and is recommended to many people. Called the milk of the sea, oyster is nutritious, delicious, and can be enjoyed in a variety of dishes It is a steady favorite food of Koreans. Korea produces large amounts of oysters in nature or in aquaculture because it is surrounded by the sea. It can be enjoyed at a lower price than overseas, and is easily accessible in all regions. Most “회” restaurants sell raw oysters.
Koreans usually eat raw oysters, steamed oysters, oyster rice, oyster pancakes, etc
Personally, I like to eat boiled pork and kimchi oysters on cabbage together(It is called Gulbossam in Korea). This is also one of the ways that many Koreans enjoy oysters, and more specifically, about 40,000 won in Korean won is enough for that kind of food. In dollars, it’s about 30 dollars.
In Korea, there is also a festival with the theme of oysters You can enjoy a wide variety of oyster dishes that are quite fresh here.
As of now, the closest date is the Cheonbuk Oyster Festival held in Cheonbuk on November 16th

This food may be unfamiliar to foreigners.
It is a dish that is eaten a lot in winter in Korea, and is made by drying herring or saury. There is a distinctive scent that distinguishes between Koreans who eat and don’t, but it is certainly a dish that many Koreans eat in winter. The texture is chewy and has a unique taste, so people who know its charm seek gwamegi every winter This food also has festivals in certain areas
Winter food recommendation Yellowtail
Yellowtail is a particularly delicious and nutritious fish in winter, and it is a much-loved seafood in Korea.
The yellowtail is mainly caught in the waters of Japan and Korea and is utilized in various dishes due to its flavor and texture. The texture is a favorite of many Koreans, halfway between regular and tuna sashimi, and can be enjoyed at reasonable prices in winter at sashimi restaurants in every region

Hoppang(Steamed bun)
Hoppang is Korea’s representative winter snack. It is a round and soft bread with sweet red beans, which is usually steamed in a steamer and eaten warm. Besides red beans, there are now products with various ingredients, such as vegetables or pizza
Bungeoppang(Fish-shaped bun)
Bungeoppang is Korea’s representative winter snack, which is made by baking dough and ingredients in a crucian carp-shaped mold, and does not actually contain crucian carp.

Like hoppang, various ingredients have been added over the years, and now there are bungeoppang in various ingredients such as custard cream pizza in addition to red beans, and the place where the bungeoppang vendors are located is called the Bungse area in a similar sense to the station area

Roasted sweet potatoes seem to be a snack that is loved not only in Korea but also around the world. They are usually popular in winter in Korea.
