Korean Winter Comfort Food

By Helene Lydia - November 26, 2018

Winter is coming! Brace yourself!
Aside from wearing thick clothes and bring the heatpack wherever you go, make sure you indulge yourself with the winter comfort food to keep you warm the whole day.
Check out my pick on Korean Winter Comfort Food with the recipes I cite from my favorite Korean cooking channel in Youtube, Maangchi!

Galbi Tang 갈비탕
Who doesn't know Galbi Tang? The beef short ribs soup is very rich and hearty, perfect to warmth our body and soul in the cold winter. While most of galbitang is pictured as not spicy, galbitang can also be served spicy. Check out Maangci's video for the recipe!

Seolleongtang 설렁탕
Seolleongtang or ox bone soup is very popular all year round in Korea, especially in the winter due to the warmth and rich soup. The milky broth of Seolleongtang is achieved by simmering the beef and the bone for hours. The high containment of collagen, also make it famous among young Korean ladies to be the secret of their flawless skin.

Kimchi Jjigae 김치찌개
This hot, spicy and delicious soft tofu stew has won everyone's heart especially in winter. They’re warming and paired perfectly with a bowl of warm rice. Crack an egg to finalize the serving and enjoy the bubbling hot stew that hit the spot in winter!

Jjim Dalk 찜닭
Jjim Dalk is braised chicken with vegetables. Combine the chunks of chicken, sweet potatoes, peppers and starch noodles in a thick brown sauce and you will have the perfect meal made for cold weather,

Hope these comfort foods suit your preference and the excitement in Maangchi's video encourage you to go to your kitchen and cook it! But if you can't cook like me, just book the flight ticket to Korea and taste the authentic galbitang😝
