Large dumpling filled with kimchi. ₩1,000
Namdaemun Market, Seoul SOUTH KOREA

This mandu was very good. The exterior was warm and fluffy and the kimchi filling was bold and delicious. I wanted to treat it like dim sum though and dip it into some spicy chili soy sauce. 🙂

Glass noodles, green onion. ₩1,500
Namdaemun Market, Seoul SOUTH KOREA

This large mandu was actually fried, not grilled. I’m not 100% sure what kind of “meat” this was composed of, but I’m pretty certain it was ground pork. I liked this as a market-time snack. I liked the texture of the fried exterior, but I wish the filling was seasoned a bit more.

Sausage wrapped with fish paste. ₩2,500
Namdaemun Market, Seoul SOUTH KOREA

I liked how this tasted. The fish paste exterior had a nice flavor, but the sausage casing was really difficult to bite into. This made for a messy meal since it was already covered in “ketchup”.
