Bulgogi (Korean Barbecue),Gimbab (Korean Sushi), and Kimchi (pickled dish) are only some of the many world famous Korean delicacies. They attest to the country's endless supply of good cooking and to the creativity of the Koreans in the kitchen. Mostly spicy, non-spicy recipes are usually eaten with spicy condiments like Ssamjang (mixed soybean and chili pepper paste). In most specialty restaurants, samgyetang (chicken ginseng soup) is an important part of the menu, while in ponjangmachas (covered wagons) scattered all over the city, travelers can dig in to greasy chows like beondegi (stewed and seasoned silkworm pupae), Hotteok (Korean filled hotcakes), and the puffy cookie called twibap.
