Heyy! I’m really trying to open myself to eating more Korean dishes, is there anything people would recommend I try for the first time? Thank you!

Ramen and tteokbokki are my personal favorites. I always wanted to try kimbap too, but I still haven't. Just choose the mild options if you're not into spicy food.

Japchae, bibimbap or kimchi fried rice are really easy to make at home and delicious!

Korean food is such a treat! I love how flavorful and comforting it can be. Try classics like kimchi jjigae or bibimbap if you're diving into it. They’re packed with veggies and so tasty. I’ve noticed how much Korean dishes focus on balance—sweet, spicy, salty—it’s all there!
Here’s a little tip: many Korean dishes use ingredients that are good for health, like barley grass powder. It’s used in some teas and desserts, and it’s known for being super healthy. You could even add some to smoothies or soups at home to give them a healthy twist! Korean BBQ is another must-try; the smoky flavors with all the side dishes are unique.

You should definitely try bibimbap for your first dish. It’s a rice bowl topped with a variety of vegetables, a fried egg, and sometimes meat, all mixed with gochujang, which is a spicy red chili paste. It’s flavorful and customizable, so you can adjust the spice level to your liking. Another great option is tteokbokki, which are spicy stir-fried rice cakes that are chewy, slightly sweet, and delicious. Both are popular and a great introduction to Korean cuisine.
