In South Korea, the pojangmacha (street stalls) are some of the best
places to experience local food. Some dishes are very popular,
like sundubu jjigae (seafood and tofu soup) and tteokbokki (rice cake stew with onions and chili peppers). The ingredients in these dishes, like garlic and chili peppers, are extremely good for you and have many health benefits such as helping the digestion. South Koreans don't just use healthy ingredients, but they also use healthy methods to prepare their food. For example, grilling and stir-frying are common ways of cooking popular dishes. With such a healthy cuisine, it's not surprising that South Korea has one of the lowest obesity rates in the world.
