Carbotourism: Four Great Noodle Dishes in Seoul, South Korea JAY FRIEDMAN There's plenty of starch to be found on and o� the streets of Seoul, from tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) to pajeon (a "pancake" typically made with green onions) and gimbap (a type of sushi roll) to bibimbap (a rice bowl with various toppings to mix in). During my recent trip to South Korea, though, I was on a constant quest to satisfy my noodle urgings, looking beyond chap chae (stir-fried sweet potato noodles, perhaps the best-known Korean noodle dish) to explore other options. Naengmyeon (long, thin buckwheat noodles served in a large steel bowl) is one of my favorite Korean noodle dishes, and it's what drew me to Ojang-dong Hamheung Naengmyeon. As I sat on the �oor at one of the long communal tables, I noticed many people getting bibim naengmyeon, with its tell-tale dressing of red chili paste (gochujang) and a small bowl of beef broth to the side. Upon closer inspection and better understanding of the restaurant name, I realized most were eating hoe naengmyeon, a bibim variety with raw skate that originates in the city of Hamheung. But after a long walk on a warm day, I wanted to cool o� with mul naengmyeon: buckwheat noodles swimming in icy cold beef broth. Piled on top of the noodles were slices of zucchini and pear, along with beef slices and a hard- cooked egg (see top photo). 1 of 5 4/15/2021, 7:15 AM Carbotourism: Four Great Noodle Dishes in Seoul, South Korea | Seriou... https://www.seriouseats.com/2013/06/print/four-great-noodle-dishes-seou... The server asked if I wanted her to cut the noodles—yes, please, though I enjoy handling scissors at the table, too—and then I added vinegar, mustard, sugar, and eventually even a little kimchi (I couldn't help it) to continually change the �avor pro�le. The noodles were slightly chewy, but apparently not nearly as chewy as the noodles in the hoe naengmyeon, which are made with potato or sweet potato starch. 2 of 5 4/15/2021, 7:15 AM Carbotourism: Four Great Noodle Dishes in Seoul, South Korea | Seriou... https://www.seriouseats.com/2013/06/print/four-great-noodle-dishes-seou... After learning that I like mul naengmyeon, Seoul-based food blogger and tour guide Joe McPherson of ZenKimchi insisted on introducing me to mul makguksu at Bongpyeong Memil Makguksu. When we met up, I asked why, and he said, "The broth here is rich and deep, like a beef consommé, and the noodles are slightly thicker and rougher, which gives them their name, 'rough noodles.'" This noodle dish is a specialty of Gangwon province, which is known for its buckwheat. The bowl made �ne use of the crop, featuring earthy buckwheat noodles in a clear, beefy broth. The balance of �avors in the mul makguksu was a thing of beauty, with hints of the ocean from strips of seaweed and spice from the red chili paste. You can wash it all down with makgeolli (a milky alcoholic beverage made from fermented grains, typically rice or wheat), including a �oral Gangwon variety made with buckwheat �owers. Nearly every guide book steered me to Myeondong Gyoja, where there's typically a line to try the featured dish: kalguksu. For kalguksu noodles, dough is made with wheat �our and eggs, and then cut into thin slices with a knife. I enjoyed the long, chewy noodles as well as the pyramid-shaped byeonsi mandu dumplings, though I found the broth to be a bit bland, like a weak chicken soup, despite the ground beef and chives �oating in it. That broth doesn't stay bland long, though, if you add the intense kimchi you get with your order. This was one of the most garlicky servings of kimchi I ate in Seoul, and probably explains why you also get mint gum with the meal. I �rst put kimchi on the rice to eat it plain, but then dumped both in the bowl. Later, after looking at Myeondong Gyoja's website, I saw that you can add whatever you want to make your soup bowl a happy meal—and that the 3 of 5 4/15/2021, 7:15 AM Carbotourism: Four Great Noodle Dishes in Seoul, South Korea | Seriou... https://www.seriouseats.com/2013/06/print/four-great-noodle-dishes-seou... restaurant will apparently bring you more of anything you like at no extra charge. Along with ZenKimchi, the other popular company o�ering English-language food tours in Seoul is O'ngo Food Communications . Take their Korean Night Dining Tour and you'll likely stop at Matborae Tteokbokki, where you can sample royal toppoki. Matborae serves a number of interesting tteokbokki dishes, including seafood, fried rice, and cheese (seemingly popular with young women) versions. They come to the table hot pot-style, enabling you to control the cooking. The royal toppoki is a busy a�air with beef, dumplings, peppers, chives, �sh cakes, noodles, and, of course, the tubular rice cakes known as tteokbokki, sometimes spelled toppoki. Soy sauce and sesame sauce help �avor the dish, though there's apparently natural fruit juice added to sweeten it. I enjoyed tteokbokki in red chili sauce throughout Seoul (especially a stir-fried version I found)—it's perhaps South Korea's most popular street food— but I was glad to get it with noodles as well.

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

  • Boasting the Food of the Eight Provinces
    Interesting Food Stories Boasting the Food of the Eight Provinces People usually say “Paldo Gangsan” to represent the eight regions that constitute the Korean Peninsula. These regions are, “Gyeonggi- do,” “Gangwon-do,” “Chungcheong-do,” “Jeolla-do,” “Gyeongsang-do,” “Hwanghae-do,” “Pyeongan-do,” “Hamgyeong-do,” and each has their own cultural distinctions. Now, shall we further explore the differences in the food among the eight regions? Seoul, Gyeonggi-do Seoul has long been the capital of Korea, a place for many noblemen who considered formality and stylishness to be important. The people of Seoul are often referred to as “ggakjaengi,” which means they are particularly difficult to please. Interestingly, the food they cook shows us much about the characteristics of the Seoul noblemen. Food cooked in Seoul is not too salty or overly spicy. The most famous products of the Gyeonggi area are Icheon rice, and “samgyetang (chicken broth with ginseng),” “bulgogi (barbecued beef),” “sinseonlo (brass chafing dish),” and “seolleongtang (beef soup with rice).” Chungcheong-do “Chungcheong-do” has smooth mountains and a gentle climate that probably accounts for the people's slow speaking style and firm personality. The people from other areas tend to make fun of the general slowness of the people of Chungcheong-do. “Chungcheong-do” dishes are not regionally distinctive, but they are clean, simple, and delicious. “Cheonggukjang (fast fermented soybean paste stew),” “dotorimuk (acorn jello),” and “hodugwaja (small walnut- flavored cake)” of Cheonan are the representative dishes of this area. Seafood such as shrimp, oyster, and crab are also seasonally provided from the Yellow Sea. Jeolla-do “Jeolla-do” has abundant crops and seafood compared to the other regions.
