[A unique experience in Korea] Introduction to Korea’s Top 7 Spicy Foods



Greeting from AREX :)

If you choose Korea out of a large list of countries, you’re sure to be stirred up with thoughts of its spicy foods.

As such, I will introduce the unique food experiences chosen by CNN in this blog’s TOP 7 spicy foods!

Of the various foods to choose from, I will now talk about just what made the list!


Seventh Place: Hongcho Fire Chicken



In seventh place, we have a chicken dish smothered in a spicy sauce: Hongcho Fire Chicken.
Just a few years ago, fire chicken started to become quite popular.
I really hope you try some fire chicken with mozzarella cheese on top together with a refreshing beer! 😊



Sixth Place: Yupdduk


In sixth place, we have Yupdduk!
It’s actually a bit surprising to see that this place wasn’t higher up the list. Of the many types of spicy rice cakes available, Yupdduk has approximately 80 locations and is known for being on the spicier side.
Don’t think about it as trying some spicy rice cakes. Rather, you will feel your tongue lose sensation from the agony of the spiciness.
In particular, the original and soy sauce flavors are a bit exceptional even for Koreans, so be careful when you choose the spiciness level.
:)



Fifth Place: Abiko Curry



In fifth place we have Abiko Curry’s most spicy dish! Although Abiko is actually Japanese food, there’s a reason why it appears on the list of spicy Korean foods.

That reason being that when Japanese people eat curry, they don’t make it as spicy as Koreans.  In fact, even Japanese people visit Korea just to try Abiko Curry.



Fourth Place: Spicy Braised Short Ribs



In fourth place we have spicy braised short ribs. Normally, Korean braised short ribs are made with a sweet sauce.  For those who elect to try the spicy version, you will experience a new that is quite different from the traditional dish!



Third Place: Mugyo-dong Stir-fried Octopus



In third we have Mugyo-dong Stir-fried Octopus.
Originally, stir-fried octopus is made with a red pepper paste sauce, but Mugyo-dong Stir-fried Octopus transcends idea.

While the spiciness is neutralized by the amount of red pepper paste, sesame seed sauce, bean sprouts, and friend rice I suggest that you only put in a little red pepper paste when you eat the fried rice. :)



Second Place: Shingil-dong Spicy Jjamppong


In second place we have Singil-dong Spicy Jjamppong. It became well-known by appearing on TV and being shared on SNS.
There is a spicy challenge for one person that is so hot that it beckons spice-lovers from around the country to stop by and give it a try.

They say that with just one spoonful of the broth your tongue will be paralyzed.
It’s so spicy that people say you should bring a carton of milk along. Aren’t you curious just how spicy it must be?



First Place: Onnuriae Spicy Pork Cutlet



The greatly anticipated first place: Onnuriae Spicy Pork Cutlet!
I’m sure there are those of you who find it a bit strange that first place is just a pork cutlet.

The original name is actually “The Entire World’s Pork Cutlet,” however it would be fair to call it “The Pork Cutlet of Death”.

If you are able to eat the entire dish in 20 minutes, you can enter into the hall of fame.  The amount of people who can claim that they concurred the supreme spicy are few and far between, so those who are confident enough to take the challenge are sure to have a lot of fun in the process.

Well, that’s all for today on CNN’s TOP 7 spicy Korean foods.
I hope you enjoy both Korea’s spicy foods and some unique experiences during your time in Korea!
