Huge thanks to Rosetta Stone for sponsoring this video! Learning key Korean words and phrases through their app helped me prepare for my epic, two-week adventure through South Korea in May of 2019.

I wouldn’t have been able to get around as well as I did without Rosetta Stone. Their lessons are immersive and bite-sized and they help you out in the real world, like if you need to order some yummy street food!

These are the top 10 Korean street foods you have to eat in Seoul, South Korea!

1. Tteok-Bokki
Dense, deep-fried rice cakes that are coated in a spicy, red gochujang sauce. You can find it everywhere in South Korea, but I suggest having a drier version at Tongin Market. It’s packed with chili flavor and is dense and super filling!

2. Korean Fried Chicken
Korean fried chicken is some of the best in the world. It’s organic and fresh, and comes in countless varieties. Try the sweet and sour dakgangjeong at Tongin Market and the standard fried chicken and sweet and spicy chicken at Oven Chicken and Beer!

3. Kimchi Mandu
These are phenomenal dumplings stuffed with spicy, fermented Korean cabbage (Kimchi). They also contain delicious pork and flavorful glass noodles. They are downright heavenly! Just give them a few minutes to cool off before you bite into them!

4. Hotteok
A Korean donut that’s fried up fresh and contains warm honey and velvety cream? Count me in! Try this amazing sweet treat at Tongin Market in Seoul. The filling is like molten lava, so resist the temptation to dive in right away. You don’t want to burn your mouth!

5. Gimbap
At Namdaemun Market, head down to the indoor, underground section to find these amazing rice and vegetable hand rolls. The carrots, radishes, and cucumbers are super crisp and pair well with the seaweed and rice. Don’t forget the soy sauce and wasabi!

6. Samgyeopsal
This amazing type of Korean barbecue consists of grilled pork belly, which is cooked right at your table. You take a few fatty, juicy strips and wrap them in a piece of lettuce with garlic and red pepper paste. It’s savory, super fresh, and bursting with flavor!

7. Kimchi-jeon
Kimchi-jeon is one of many varieties of savory Korean pancakes. Loaded with sour and spicy kimchi, with just enough batter to hold it together, this dish is nice and crunchy but never loses its freshness. It’s so good!

8. Sundubu Jjigae
Sundubu jjigae is a Korean stew that contains shrimp, squid, onions, leeks, cucumber, and silken tofu, and is so rich and flavorful. I made my own during a cooking class in Seoul and fell in love with it!

9. Potato-Crusted Hot Dog
A hot dog, coated in potatoes, and deep-fried until it’s golden brown. Head over to Namdaemun Market to try this unique hot dog on a stick. The crispy, fluffy potatoes and juicy hot dog are the perfect combination. Try it with some spicy sauce for a real kick of heat!

10. Sikhye
This is a cool, refreshing rice drink that’s similar to horchata de arroz or fresh sugarcane juice. It’s sweet and tasty and is said to also have health benefits. It also contains rice grains floating on the bottom!
