The 2018 Olympics were held in PyeongChang, South Korea. In honor of the games and the hosting country, here is a quick rundown of what some athletes might be chomping on.
Bulgogi
Bulgogi is grilled and marinated beef barbecue. It is grilled with onions and garlic, wrapped in lettuce, and topped with ssamjang, which is a spicy red paste.

Taking home the gold!

Do you like rice? Well, that’s not all this bibimbap has to offer. You can also find veggies, mushrooms, beef, soy sauce, gochujang, and a fried egg in this Korean dish.

Works hard for four years and is still just rice.

This one is still under review by the judges.
Samgyetang
