Gwangjang Market-Explore the Korean food-Part 1

My home is quite far from the Gwangjang market, but I had a chance to visit the north part of the Seoul to buy clothes, and on a way home I visited the Gwangjang Market. This is the Seoul map and the Gwangjang market is in the red part. The arrow in the picture says Gwangjang market Korean pancake, raw beef, drug Kimbab(광장시장 전&육회&마약김밥). After I entered the market I could see lots of people are in…

Gwangjang Market (광장시장) is one of the oldest and largest traditional markets in Korea with more than 5,000 shops in an area of 42,000 square meters. This market offers traditional street food such as tteokbokki (spicy soft rice cake), bibimbap, kimpbap, and sundae (blood sausage) but is famous for bindaetteok (mung bean pancakes) and mayak gimbap. It is also here where you will find a vast selection of vendors selling textiles, silk, linens, bed sheets, hanbok (traditional Korean dress), second-hand clothes, and more.

Weekend in Korea

As you might have known after seeing the previous photo, we made it to Korea! We had an early morning flight from Xiamen on Friday, and reached Seoul in the afternoon. On the flight over we coincidentally were sitting next to someone else from Washington! What a small world it is. After arriving in Seoul, we traveled via the AREX train to get to our Airbnb. We’re staying in Hongdae near the Hongik University station, a really lively neighborhood full of young Koreans. While we were pretty tired, we ventured out for the afternoon/evening in the Hongdae neighborhood. We found so many cute little shops for little goods, clothing, beauty, and more! There are also so many little food shops. We ended up finding a little spot in an alley that specializes in pork cutlets. The food was so cheap, and we both had huge portions! After dinner we wandered some more, ending our night with a boutique ice cream store visit called Fell + Cole that has special flavors like Makkeoli and Spicy Roasted Penaut (one guess what flavors we ended up getting??). Day 2 in Korea, we made our way further into the city. Our first stop was Onion, which has a super cute location near the Gyeongbokgung Palace (our main destination) which is a bakery that’s opened up in a traditional Korean hanok. Susan and I got so excited over the options that we split 4 different baked goods and washed it all down with 2 refreshing iced teas. Needless to say, it was a great way to start our day! We then made our way over to a hanbok rental store called Hanbok Plus. For less than $10-15, you can rent a traditional hanbok, get your hair done, and borrow one of their cute handbags for 4 hours and venture the palace grounds for free! This was one of my favorite experiences so far. Just donning hanboks ourselves made the visit into Gyeongbokgung that much more special. We were able to get tons of great photos, making us feel like we had transported back to the Josean era. The only downside was it was suuuuper hot and we were pretty hot and dehydrated most of the time. There was little shade within the palace grounds, so we tried to find as much solace as possible in the shade that we could find. So a note to the wise would be maybe visiting the palace on a less hot day! After returning our hanboks, we ventured into a nearby area called Insadong. It was a little (shaded!) alleyway that is lined with cute shops and restaurants as well. Thankfully it was cooler by that time too, so we weren’t as hot exploring this little street. There we were able to find some great little finds, and ended up leaving with a couple of satisfactory purchases. We also took a break at the Ddong (Poop) Cafe, sharing a rose latté that’s served in a little toilet cup. Super delicious!! After Insadong, we took the subway to Gwangjang market. It’s a huge food hall that has little food stalls that all serve traditional Korean street food. Think tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), soondae (blood sausage), fish cakes and more! We ended up eating a few (sadly not all) different dishes, one of which is the food stalls is from the Netflix Series “Street Food”. At her stall, we enjoyed some naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodle soup) and meat and kimchi mandus (dumplings). Afterwards, we got a bindaetteok (mung bean pancake) and mayak gimbap (rice rolls) to go since we were pretty stuffed after the one stall. Then after a long day out and about, we headed back to our Airbnb to rest. All in all, Korea has been super fun so far! Strangely Susan and I blend in quite nicely, though it becomes pretty apparent we’re not Korean when we can’t respond to their Korean. Our experience in Seoul so far has been discovering a super modern city that has a lot of rich culture and history. We’re taking our first day trip to Nami Island right now (writing this from the ITX train on our way there), so can’t wait to see what else Korea had in store for us!

Gimbap (Korean Seaweed Rice Rolls)

Gimbap (or kimbap) is the most popular on-the-go meal in Korea! Learn how to make classic gimbap at home with my step-by-step guide!

What is gimbap (or kimbap)?

Gimbap (김밥) is a Korean seaweed rice roll filled with a variety of delicious fillings. Gim is dried sheets of seaweed, and bap means rice.

We all grew up on these rice rolls. They were a must for our school field trips and outdoor activities as well as family road trips! Whether it’s the anticipation the night before or watching the early morning preparation by mom to pack these in lunch boxes, there is no other dish that takes me back to my childhood like these gimbap rolls!

Today, gimbap is the most popular on-the-go meal in Korea. They are practically sold everywhere and are popular with adults and kids alike. Try them yourself and be prepared to fall in love with these delicious Korean rice rolls.

This gimbap recipe was originally posted in May 2012. I’ve updated it here with more information, new photos and minor changes to the recipe.

There are many variations of gimbap these days, but the best one for me is classic gimbap my mother used to make for us on our field trip/picnic days.

It takes some time to prepare the individual fillings, but the process is easy and fun.

Gimbap rice

Gimbap rice is typically made with white, short grain rice. For healthier options, you can mix in some brown rice or multi-grain rice.

It’s important to cook the rice slightly drier than normal by using a bit less water.

Traditionally, gimbap rice is lightly seasoned with sesame oil and salt for a nutty flavor and a savory note.

Gimbap gim (seaweed sheets for gimbap)

For making gimbap, seaweed sheets need to be slightly thick to be able to hold the rice and all the fillings. They are also lightly roasted. You can find seaweed sheets specially prepared for gimbap at Korean markets.

Gimbap fillings

Although gimbap fillings have evolved to include all sorts of things, the classic ingredients are yellow pickled radish (danmuji), eomuk (fish cake), carrots, spinach, eggs, and beef. You can use any tender cut of beef. Thin bulgogi meat or ground beef works fine as well.

Braised burdock root (우엉) is also commonly used in classic gimbap. You can usually find packages burdock root pre-prepared for gimbap next to yellow pickled radishes (danmuji). Or, you can make your own, using my recipe.

The fillings are individually seasoned and cooked, yielding an interesting combination of textures and flavors.

Everything is well seasoned, so gimbap typically is not served with a sauce.

Rolling gimbap

How hard is the rolling process? It takes some practice, but don’t be scared! You’ll find it much easier with your second roll. Just remember to roll it tightly by putting firm, even pressure with your hands all over the roll.

Tips for the perfect gimbap:

Freshly cooked rice is best for making gimbap. Start preparing the recipe by making the rice, and mix with sesame oil and salt while the rice is still warm.

Wet your fingers before spreading the rice onto the seaweed to prevent the rice from sticking to your hands. It’s easiest to have a small bowl with water next to your rolling-station so that you can wet your hand in between rolls.

Use a sharp knife for cutting your rolls. You need to make a clean slicing motion and make the full slice in one go without pressing on the roll.

Store your sliced gimbap in an airtight container. Gimbap is best eaten on the day it’s made, but you can keep it in the fridge and reheat either in the microwave or in a pan. Sometimes, we dip refrigerated gimbap in egg batter and pan fry. A delicious way to revive gimbap!

It’s no secret that Seoul is one of my favorite cities in the world. Delicious food, fantastic shopping, interesting culture, and amazing people, it’s a dream vacation! Another thing that I love about Seoul is how family-friendly the city is. Most popular attractions have kids on their priority, with a curation of programs and activities designed for the young. Their subway system is so extensive and one of the best in the world, you can go from one place to another with no trouble at all. Taking the taxi is affordable too which makes traveling even more convenient and comfortable.

If you are in the planning stages of your trip to Seoul, you’ve come to the right place. Whether it’s your first, second or if you’ve visited several times in the past, you’ll never get bored while in the city. There are plenty of things to see and do within Seoul and its neighboring provinces. For first-time visitors, you need at least 4 full days to visit the city’s most popular landmarks and tourist attractions. But don’t worry, this 7-day itinerary can be easily customized to fit your interests and schedule. Depending on how much you want to see in a day, you can combine some activities into just one day but beware though, it will be very tiring so pack some extra energy! But I assure you, it’ll be loads of fun!

7-Days Itinerary for your First Visit in Seoul, South Korea

Day 1

Start your day early with a visit to Gwanghwamun Square. See the golden statue of King Sejong in the middle of the plaza. Just across Gwanghwamun Square is the Gyeongbok Palace, also known as Gyeongbokgung. Watch the Gatekeeper Military Training at 9:30 AM and Changing of the Royal Guard Ceremony at 10:00 AM, both held at the main gate of Gyeongbokgung. After this, you can join a 1.5 hr free walking tour of the palace with an English-speaking guide. Japanese and Chinese-speaking guides are also available at a different schedule. The walking tour starts at 11:00 AM at the Gyeongbokgung Palace Information Center. If you do not want to join the tour, you can just watch the Gwanghwamun Gate Guard on Duty Ceremony at 11:00 AM (or come back for the 1:00 PM schedule) and explore the palace grounds on your own.

After lunch, head over to the National Folk Museum of Korea. Spend about an hour inside the museum learning about the Korean culture and way of life.

From the National Folk Museum of Korea, it’s time to see the traditional houses of Bukchon Hanok Village. You’ll pass by Samcheong-dong, a street of artisan shops, small boutiques, tea shops and cafes, etc. Spend an hour exploring Bukchon Hanok Village and make sure to stop by the 8 scenic spots of the village for your Instagram-worthy photos.

Your last stop for the day is Insadong, a popular neighborhood in Seoul because of the many cafes, restaurants and shops selling traditional Korean goods.

Day 2

Today is theme park day! There are several theme parks in Seoul but the most visited parks (and popular with tourists) are Lotte World Theme Park, which is right in the city and the other is Everland located in Gyeonggi-do, about an hour away from Seoul. If it is your first time in Seoul, I highly recommend visiting Everland instead of Lotte World. Although it is outside of Seoul, you can easily reach Everland by booking a roundtrip shuttle service from Seoul’s main tourist districts (like Myeongdong). Trust me, it’s super convenient! Most people usually recommend Lotte World Theme Park if you are traveling with young children, but I honestly find Everland to be more enjoyable than Lotte World, even with a toddler!

[irp posts=”3069″ name=”Seoul Family Travel: Everland Theme Park”]

Day 3

You should never leave Seoul without visiting one (or two) of their outdoor markets. One of which is the Namdaemun Market. No need to have breakfast before you leave your hotel, eat at the infamous Kalguksu Alley. Order the Kalguksu and Boribap set meal, it’s really good! While in the area, don’t forget to stop by the Namdaemun or the Great South Gate.

Next stop is Seoul’s most iconic landmark, the N Seoul Tower. Ride the cable car up the Namsan Mountain and spend an hour enjoying the views of the city from the top. Hello Kitty fans will be delighted to see and visit the Hello Kitty Island inside the tower.

Instead of taking the cable car down back to the city, ride the bus to Myeongdong.

You’re just in time to enjoy some street food in Myeongdong. Food stalls line up the streets of Myeongdong from afternoon until late at night. Shop ’til you drop for clothes, shoes, accessories and skin care products. You can also enjoy some delicious desserts and coffee at the many cafes in the area. Dinner choices are endless. Popular choices are Korean-style Fried Chicken or AYCE BBQ.

Oh, and don’t forget to stop by the Myeongdong Cathedral.

Day 4

Today we go on a little day trip outside the city. One of the most popular day trips from Seoul is to Nami Island and Petite France. The most convenient way to visit these two must-sees is to book a tour package that would include the roundtrip shuttle service, entry tickets and a tour guide. I highly suggest that you book the tour instead of DIYing this part of the itinerary, it’s worth paying extra for the convenience.

Once your back in the city, you can go back to Myeongdong for even more street food and night shopping! Or do some night shopping at Dongdaemun.

Day 5

First stop of the day is the Naksan Park and the Seoul Fortress Wall. Enjoy a leisurely stroll in the park and take a picture of the stunning views of the city. Walk along the Seoul Fortress Wall until you reach Ihwa Mural Village, popular for its street art and wall murals, and also a prominent backdrop on several K-dramas.

If you haven’t been to Dongdaemun yet, now is the perfect time to explore the area at a more leisurely pace. Bargain-hunters will love Dongdaemun Traditional Market. A lot of the shops and malls here are open until the wee hours of the morning, that’s why it’s also perfect for some nocturnal shopping! Be sure to visit the Heunginjimun or Dongdaemun Gate. And just a few steps away, you’ll find yourself in Dongdaemun Seonggwak Park. Enjoy spectacular city views from the top of the park (especially at night). And anyone traveling with kids should stop by the Dongdaemun Toy Street to pick up a few pieces for your little ones.

Eat at one of the food stalls in Gwangjang Market. Make sure to try the Mung bean pancake (Bindaetteok), Blood sausage (Soondae) and Drug Rice Rolls (Mayak Gimbap). Don’t worry about the last one, it doesn’t actually contain any narcotics, but instead earned its name because it is highly addicting to eat!

Also in the area is the Dongdaemun Design Plaza or the DDP. Designed by the infamous, Zaha Hadid, the DDP is a modern architectural landmark on the heart of Seoul.

End the evening with a stroll along Cheonggyecheon Stream before heading back to your hotel.

Day 6

If you have an extra day to spare, might as well visit the Lotte World Theme Park since it’s right in the city. It’s not big compared to Everland, but what’s great about it is that it has both an indoor and outdoor park. Plus it’s directly connected to a mall! Lotte World Theme Park is most suitable for families traveling with young children. You’ll be spending at least 5 to 6 hours inside the theme park so if you want to make the most of your time, try to visit as soon as they open so it won’t be as crowded and you’ll have more time to enjoy the rides. Also in the area is the COEX Aquarium.

Next stop is the Gangnam Area, one of the popular districts in Seoul. This district is well-known for shopping. Aside from the high-end luxury brands, there’s also an underground shopping complex in Gangnam Station for those on a budget.

For the young travelers, tonight is the night to put your dancing shoes on and enjoy the nightlife in Gangnam, as it has some of the best clubs in Seoul. But if you’re anything like me, head over to Seoul Station and shop for souvenirs, Korean snacks and products at Lotte Outlets. Stock up on your favorite cup noodles, face masks and fill your honey butter obsessions from this supermarket. It’s open until midnight so it’s perfect for some last-minute shopping.

Day 7

Start the day by visiting Changdeokgung (Changdeok Palace). This palace is less busy than the neighboring Gyeongbokgung, but it is actually worth visiting. Inside the palace is the Secret Garden, which you can only enter with a guide. Don’t miss this!

Next is Yeouido Hangang Park. Enjoy a mini picnic by ordering chicken and beer, and have it delivered to you at the park. If you prefer a quick bite, buy some instant ramen noodles at one of the convenience stores in the park. These convenience stores have a designated area for cooking noodles. After lunch and a little bit of sightseeing, take a cruise on the Hangang River.

After the cruise, head to Hongdae for some dinner and coffee. Hongdae is a hip and cool neighborhood, mostly because of its close proximity to Hongik University. Shopping tends to be slightly cheaper here since it mainly caters to the student population. At night, you can experience the hustle and bustle of street artists and performers.
