Periodic Table of Korean Foods
I enjoyed creating this, but it was very tedious and detailed oriented. One of the most difficult things was making sure I didn’t repeat an abbreviation and checking for the correct spellings of all the foods. It was also a bit difficult dividing some foods into their respective categories because some things you could classify as a soup AND seafood (꽃게탕 for example).
I checked over and over for mistakes, but I’m sure there may be a few I still didn’t catch. If I find any (or if you guys find some) I will go back and make the corrections. Also, I know that these aren’t all of the Korean foods and drinks but if I added every food and drink, the table would be even bigger than it is now.
So I basically just tried to name the major foods and drinks.

My favorites? Dak Galbi, Hotteok, Samgyeopsal, Ggaetnipjeon, and Buldak. What are yours?

No Ojingeochae Muchim? :'(
cool 🙂 you should sell this as a poster.
Do the numbers stand for anything?
SUPER AWESOME!!!! Great work! I’m going to share this on twitter, facebook and pinterest! 😉
thanks a lot! I thought you would like it haha.
Very cool! One mistake though. 육회 (#24) is raw beef, not seafood.
A version with pictures would be awesome!! Also as someone commented on reddit, 육회 isn’t sea food.
Man I actually wanted to add pictures, but the amount of time it would’ve taken was daunting (at least drawing them)…I may add a version later if I get A LOT of free time. And thanks for pointing that out…will change 🙂
NO Kalguksu? WTF!
#44 😉
Oh! I thought it would be under soup. It’s clearly a soup. Oh well, Thanks for including my favorite Korean dish even if it makes me a (young) ajushi. (Im told kalguksu is “old people food”)
This is awesome! I can’t imagine how long this must have taken.
Thanks man…about 2 weeks and finishing it up over the weekend while sick (still sick now). Enjoyed making it though.
Kimchi jiggae, kimchi Jeon, mi yuk kuk, Hobak juk, soon dubu jiggae, yum!
I wanna try Miyukkuk!
If you’re willing to make it yourself, try my recipe. 🙂 http://mykoreankitchen.com/2007/07/01/brown-seaweed-soup-miyeok-guk/
Sooooo good! I can also make each of those dishes. Gotta add samgyetang, very good but haven’t made it. Will have to attempt soon
