My favorite dish

There is so much great Korean food that it is hard to pick. I am addicted to kimchi, but that is a side dish, so I will leave that out for now. I tasted it in a Chinese restaurant.

I would say Jjajangmyeon, which is considered to be a Chinese dish, but I am pretty sure that it is served pretty uniquely in Korea. Also pretty awesome is the Jjamppong/Jjajangmyeon 50/50. So, if you throw these out I would have to choose a back-up.

Currently, that award has to go to tteokbokki. Yummy sauce with rice cakes and if you pair this with some Sundae, Korean people still call this a "snack" but I am usually full to bursting.

A close runner up is Naengmyeon, which is a cold buckwheat noodle dish that you can eat as a soup or more dry with gochujang (red sauce) in a kind of Bibim-naengmyeon. My friends didn't think it looked appetizing in the pictures, but it is delicious both ways.

And I would love to try Tak (chicken) bulgogi (the kind made with gochujang, yummy and slightly sweet, not too spicy so I can eat more of it), with kimchi together, and various banchan.

I make my safe ddeokbokki at home, I buy fresh ddeok (tubes) at a Korean market, and then I use Thai/Vietnamese style packaged meatballs and Chinese sausage, and then fry that up with garlic and onions, toss in plenty of gochujang (the little tubes of Sunchang don't list wheat so I hope they have at least less wheat than the tubs which are probably never gluten free), some gochugaru, the last of my Haechandle kelp soy sauce, and some sugar, and Whole Foods 365 chicken broth. Before I learned that the normal stuff has fish in it, I ate some and loved it, so I had to find a safe version to make at home.
