9. Teok Rice Cakes

I didn’t like these at first, but with my school handing them out nearly every week, they’re growing on me.

8.  Rice Stew

Leftover rice is allowed to boil until nearly burned. If seasoned with juices from leftover meat, this is delicious.

7.Soju

The most popular alcohol choice in Korea by far.

6. Mandu Soup

Meat-filled dumplings in soup. Very simply and very delicious .

5. Instant Kapi

Kapi is how “coffee” is pronounced in Korea.While Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts blot every corner, instant coffee seems to be popular, especially in office settings.  Everything-coffee,sugar,and cream-comes in one cute little package.

One my favorite Korean meals so far. Spicy, circular rice noodles in a spicy red pepper sauce.
