Good Korean Restruant Foods

The best restaurant foods I can recommend in Korea are in the video above. Let me also talk to you about them in more detail here, in the blog.

I got all of my dietary information from the KFDA website, which you can find here.

Eo-mokguk ~ 어무국

You can find this stuff in street stalls all over the country as well as in Kimbap shops and even at the lunch stalls in grocery stores like Lotte Mart. I like to eat it at Addal (아딸) a Korean fast food chain where you can get a big bowl of soup with fiskcake for \2,000. I think it's a steal.

One Serving: 600g
탄수화물(carbohydrates) 34.2 g
단백질(protein) 18.3 g
지방(fat) 4.5 g
식이섬유(dietary fiber) 19 g
Weight Watchers Points: 5


Kimchi Jiggae ~ 김치찌개

Also available at most Korean restaurants, you can get Kimchi Jiggae from anywhere from a doshirak (lunchbox) place like Hansot to a neighborhood restaurant or kimbap shop.

One Serving: 400 g
탄수화물(carbohydrates) 11.9 g
단백질(protein) 15.1 g
지방(fat) 15 g
식이섬유(dietary fiber) 8.4 g
Weight Watchers Points: 6/7

Galbi Tang ~ 갈비탕

Oxbone soup is so flavorful that you might not believe it's only 6 points, but the portions are so light with the actual meat it gives you right what you need. It might be a little hard to find places that have it, but just ask around. Someone can probably point you in the direction of a place with good galbi-tang. It's worth it.

One Serving: 600 g
탄수화물(carbohydrates) 7.6 g
단백질(protein) 27.4 g
지방(fat) 10.8 g
식이섬유(dietary fiber) 2.6 g
Weight Watchers Points: 6

Steamed Dumplings ~ 물만두

This is the one I didn't believe what the KFDA website had because it seemed like there was a typo somewhere. Regardless if you want some dumplings, have them, just watch how many you eat and keep balanced the rest of the day. The listing for steamed meat dumplings was reasonable, however.

Vegetable:
One Serving:10 Dumplings 120 g  <- 120g for 10 dumplings? Seemed low.
탄수화물(carbohydrates) 18.7 g
단백질(protein) 6.8 g
지방(fat) 6.1 g
식이섬유(dietary fiber) 5.5 g
Weight Watchers Points: 4

Meat:
One Serving: 8 Dumplings 250 g
탄수화물(carbohydrates) 48.6 g
단백질(protein) 16.3g
지방(fat) 21.4 g
식이섬유(dietary fiber) 10..5 g
Weight Watchers Points: 11


Mul Naengmyeon ~ 물냉면

Cold noodle soup is fantastic.

One Serving: 800 g
탄수화물(carbohydrates) 112.9 g
단백질(protein) 15.8 g
지방(fat) 4.1 g
식이섬유(dietary fiber) 33.2 g
