If you find yourself in South Korea or browsing the aisles of a specialty grocery store, keep your eye out for these sweet treats that you are absolutely going to love.

Orion Choco Pie

Have you ever had a Moon Pie before? This Korean treat is quite similar to the well-known Southern pastry, consisting of two layers of vanilla-flavored cake with a marshmallow filling between them, and then covered in chocolate. Delicious!

Pumpkin Monaca

Korean treats are also adept at taking unique ingredients and turning them into sweet favorites. Pumpkin monaca, consisting of a crispy rice exterior and a thick, paste-like filling made with pumpkin, is a fall favorite in Korea.

Haitai Sweet Plum Candy

Plums are one of Korea’s favorite fruits, and their sweet flavor is on display in these delicious plum candies. Sweet and slightly tart, these candies contain real plums as well as green tea extract.

So, what is Korean barbecue and what makes it different from traditional barbecues that most westerners are familiar with?

Korean BBQ, at its essence, refers to a traditional Korean method for preparing meat. In this preparation, meat is cooked and prepared at the table on a gas or charcoal grill. Once the meat has finished cooking, it is removed from the grill and served directly to the plates of diners.

There are lots of popular meats that can be prepared in Korean barbecue. The most common meat variety that is prepared in a Korean barbecue is called bulgogi. This meat is made from prime cuts of beef that have been marinated in soy sauce, garlic, and sesame oil. Yum!

Korean barbecue can be prepared with lots of different meats, however. Korean BBQ is most commonly prepared with different cuts with beef, but another way to enjoy Korean barbecue is with pork belly. This dish is called samgyeopsal and is one of the delicacies of this genre.

So, if you have the chance, be sure to try Korean barbecue at least once. It’s radically different from most western types of barbecue, but it’s delicious and truly unique!
