If you love to EAT then GWANGJANG MARKET is a MUST VIST in Seoul, South Korea. You can sample a range of traditional, local KOREAN STREET FOOD here. We take you on a food tour of Gwangjang Market in this video….

We eat:

Bindaetteok
This mung bean pancake is very popular at Gwangjang Market and you’ll see a number of vendors shallow frying these golden, crispy pancakes. They are made up of ground mung beans and vegetables and is dipped in a vinegar, soy and onion sauce.

Gimbap
The vendors at Gwangjang Market are well known for selling Mayak Gimbap which are ‘narcotic rice rolls’. These seaweed rice rolls don’t actually contain narcotics but they’re so named because they’re super addictive! Pickled vegetables are rolled together with rice and dried seaweed, brushed with sesame oil and then sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds. Delicious!

Bibimbap
Bibimbap is a must eat at Gwangjang Market. Giant bowls of fresh vegetables and kimchi line the benches of the bibimbap vendors. Bibimbap is mixed rice so rice, sometimes barley and a load of fresh and pickled vegetables is mixed together before eaten. We had ours served in a hot stone bowl but you can also have it cold. A dollop of gochujang (red chilli pepper paste) adds a mellow fiery kick!

Yukhoe at Buchon Yukhoe in Raw Beef Alley
Raw beef alley is another must visit when at Gwangjang Market. We ate at Buchon Yukhoe which is Michelin recommended (Bib Gourmand 2018 Seoul). We sampled the steak tartare which is served with matchstick pears, sprouts, raw egg yolk, sesame oil and sanakjii (raw baby octopus). The beef is brought in each morning and it was super fresh!
