๐ฒ My favorite Korean dish during winter |
|
|
1. KimChi JJiGae
๐ค Have you ever come across "Kimchi Jjigae"? It's not just a dish; it's soul food for Koreans, including me! This popular stew is a harmonious blend of spicy kimchi (fermented cabbage with a kick), tofu, pork, and onions. |
|
|
2. Variations
In kimchi stew, you can jazz it up with pork, canned tuna, or canned mackerel. ๐ Some even toss in ramen or spam! ๐๐ฅซ So many variations to try! If you're vegan, just boiling the kimchi alone brings out a rich flavor. ๐ฑ Pro-tip: Well-fermented kimchi, rather than freshly made, is the way to go! ๐ฅ๐ถ๏ธ๐ |

3. My recommendation
Now, hereโs my favorite Kimchi Jjiage spot in Seoul! The name of this store is 'The Legendary Kimchi Stew (์ ์ค์ ๊น์น์ฐ๊ฐ)' in Mapo. They add instant noodles to the stew and boil it on the spot. When mixed with rice, you can finish a bowl in no time!
Address: ์์ธ ๋งํฌ๊ตฌ ๋งํฌ๋๋ก 63-8 ์งํ1์ธต ์ ์ค์๊น์น์ฐ๊ฐ
(63-8, Mapo-daero, Mapo-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea) |

๐ The most popular names in Korea (2022-2023)
๐ผ Are you curious about popular baby names in South Korea for 2022-2023? Here's a list for you! ๐๐ผ |
|
|
Top Boy Names
Korean names are mostly two syllables. There are occasionally one-syllable names, but names with three syllables or more are very rare. In Korea, many male names end with "์ค"๐ฆ, like "Park Seo-jun", giving a masculine vibe๐ช. Have you also noticed many names ending with "์ฐ"? Names ending in "์ฐ", such as "Cha Eun-woo", have a soft tone, which is why many female names also end with "์ฐ"๐ผ. |
|
|
Top Girl Names
In Korea, a lot of girl names have "์" in them. Names with "ใ
" often give a cute and soft impression. "์" and "์ค" also sound girly, so they're used a lot for girls. However, there are exceptions like "๋์ค", ranked 4th for boys. Itโs because "๋" gives a masculine touch.
Is there one you'd like as your Korean name? If you want to know more about Korean names, look forward to my next blog post! |
