What you MUST eat at Gwangjang Market 🤤

Gwangjang Market is one of Seoul's most famous markets for yummy street eats! While most people come here for the Netflix-famous kalguksu, here are five must-try dishes when you're at Gwangjang Market:

🍩 Twisted Doughnuts (Chapssal Kkwabaegi)

💭 Made out of glutinous rice flour, these doughnuts were unbelievably fluffy and airy, with a nicely crisp, sugary exterior. There's always a line outside this stall so you surely won't miss it!

🥞 Mungbean Pancakes (Bindaetteok)

💭 Crispy, greasy, and with an almost grainy mouthfeel from the mungbean, these made such a great snack. There are many stalls selling these pancakes so you can just get yours from any one of them.

🍙 Mini Kimbap (Mayak Kimbap)

💭 Literally translating to 'drug kimbap', these are named as so because of how addictive they are. Every bite of these kimbap is perfumed with sesame oil.

🌶️ Spicy Rice Cakes (Tteokbokki)

💭 Also sold in many stalls are these chewy rice cakes, slathered in a thick, spicy-sweet sauce. Make sure to dip the kimbap in the sauce as well.

🥟 Dumplings (Mandu)

💭 Last but not the least, another widely-sold item at the market are dumplings. You can choose either the tangy kimchi-filled ones or the juicy, savoury meat-filled ones.
