South Korean cuisine is a remarkable blend of intense flavors and spices – kimchi, bibimbap, and several other dishes can set your mouth on fire! However, if you enjoy spicy food sparingly, there’s no need to worry. You’ll still be able to explore South Korea’s deliciousness through non-spicy Korean dishes without running for glasses of water after each meal.

If you’re averse to spice, don’t worry! Many beloved Korean dishes are entirely free of it. On your next visit to Korea, make sure you sample these delicious and unspiced culinary delights:

Bulgogi

Bulgogi is a beloved and renowned Korean delicacy consisting of thinly-sliced meat that has been marinated. With its noteworthy marinade of soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar and ginger, Korean barbecue has won hearts worldwide. Enjoyed in wraps with lettuce, side dishes and dipping sauces – it’s no wonder why this dish is one of Korea’s top picks! Once you’ve finished your meal, take the remaining broth and drench it over a bed of rice to further bask in the savory flavors. Bulgogi is normally crafted with beef unless otherwise mentioned; however, it can also be made with chicken or pork!

Japchae

Japchae is a classic South Korean dish that packs a punch of savory and sweet flavors. This stir-fried glass noodle dish is mouthwateringly delicious, making it the star attraction at any celebratory occasion or gathering. While best enjoyed as an accompaniment to other dishes, Japchae can also be served atop rice for an even heartier main meal. 

When Japchae first appeared in the 17th century, it was a dish containing no noodles. However, over time it has developed into something different – the version of this delectable food we are used to today.

Donkatsu

Indulge in the savory Korean dish, donkatsu! It’s a flavorful spin on the Japanese tonkatsu- a crunchy pork cutlet that is battered and fried. The Korean version differs from its Japanese counterpart due to its thinness and larger surface area, resulting in an unbeatable taste.

This pocket-friendly yet delicious dish is traditionally served with rice, kimchi, a fresh salad and pickled yellow radish. You can find it around almost every rest stop or cafeteria in the country!
