5 Mouthwatering K-Drama Foods You Can Totally Learn To Make At Home
As the Thanksgiving holidays approach us, thus bringing more K-drama binge watching opportunities, you may find yourself lamenting at the lack of dramaland things in your own life: handsome guys, K-pop music that comes from your radio, language skills that don’t involve subtitles, and the delicious on-screen food that always seems to turn a K-drama episode into a five minute cooking show. While the first three might be a little hard to achieve, creating that tasty and unattainable Korean food in your own home isn’t impossible: you just need a kitchen and the ability to not burn your ingredients more than 50 percent of the time.
1. Bibimbap
Bibimbap is generally one of the most well-known Korean foods; a mashup of rice with vegetables like spinach, bean sprouts, carrots, and whatever else you want, topped with an egg. Bibimbap is known for being a deliciously tasting comfort food you can fill up on that’s also healthy. It can be eaten with or without meat, and the ingredients that go into making the bibimbap are pretty flexible. Feel free to customize it however you want and experiment with different ingredients to see what you like best! One suggestion that’s fun to try when making bibimbap is to organize the food you put in the bowl before stirring it up: the colorful array of vegetables is pretty and even more mouthwatering to look at.

2. Hotteok
Hotteok is like an American pancake… only eight times better. It has a super sweet filling that includes things like brown sugar, and it’s a type of street food in Korea that’s perfect for those who want to eat delicious treats on the go. No more words needed. Make it morning or evening with this recipe:
3. Bungeoppang
Remember that adorable moment in the hit show “The Legend of the Blue Sea,” where our stingy but adorable con artist tries to secretly take care of his naive mermaid by sending little gifts to her through other people? Among them was that super cute and yummy looking fish-shaped bread called bungeoppang! It’s another street food that’s especially delicious in the winter, made out of warm bread and red bean paste filling. Feel free to make it during Thanksgiving and reenact your favorite “The Legend of the Blue Sea” moments (just maybe not when your non K-drama acquainted family members are around).

4. Kimchi stew
If you’ve ever seen cops in a crime drama sitting gruffly around a table and discussing the latest clues while they stir around a bowl of red soup, you might have gotten a glimpse of the tasty kimchi stew. It’s a very delicious and savory meal that is also quite spicy, so check how much you can handle spicy foods before you proceed. Kimchi stew, or kimchi chiggae, is usually made out of kimchi, onions, and some sort of meat.
5. Kimbap
Any fan of “Healer” will remember sweet and crazy Min Ja, the kick-butt, crazy-haired grandmotherly figure who watched over Seo Jung Hoo (Ji Chang Wook) and helped him with his underground dealings in between knitting and obsessively making kimbap. If you’ve seen the show, then you probably already know a good deal about the dish: kimbap is made of vegetables and rice wrapped up in seaweed and then sliced. It’s rather simple and fun to prepare with no cooking needed, so if you want to break into Korean food, this is a good way to start.
