A consistent joy of traveling is sampling local cuisine. Your pallet will not be disappointed in South Korea. Strolling among food vendors at Eatery Alley adjacent to Gukje Market is the perfect way to see, smell and taste wonderful meals. You may not always know what you are eating. Some things you might not like. But the experience is well worth the modest cost. Common ingredients are pickled cabbage (kimchi), pork belly, beef, vegetables, tofu, seafood and poultry with hints of chili. Variations of these dishes include: mixed with rice or translucent cellophane noodles; tucked into steamed dumplings; served as a soup, porridge, stir fry or stew like this one swimming in a delicious gravy.
