Vegan Seoul Food!

On our first Saturday walking about, Ben and I found a sign for a Seoul Vegan Potluck (that we had litterally just missed time wise) that also pointed to a Seoul Vegan Potluck Facebook page.  Adeana, the site coordinator, has been nice enough to put together a basic guide for me and some resources so I thought I'd share!  I have Loved Loved Loved the food here, so many spices and nutrients and so flavorful.  Miso, Miso, Miso and Kimbab/Bibimbap (that I've also learned how to read in Korean!)! Delicious! More recipes soon!

Eating Out:

You can find food at most Indian places (they will make a customized dish for you with the ghee and/or yogurt). Also, most of the foreign places will have at least one dish. A few to note in 

Itaewon/HBC area:

Cassablanca- HBC- lentil soup, veggie sandwich

Porchetta-Between Itaewon and HBC- veggie sandwich, sweet potato fries

Res to Go- Between Itaewon and HBC American-style teriyaki

Taste of Thai- Between Itaewon and HBC- Thai

Buddha’s Belly- Between Itaewon and HBC- Thai

Wang Thai- Itaewon-Thai

Loving Huts (look them up on Happy Cow)

There are several Greek, Moroccan, etc. places with vegan options.

Taco Amigo- vegan refried beans and rice. Most things on the menu can be made with mushrooms instead of meat. The owner was vegan at one point so he understands.

Korean-

Kimbap restaurants- kimbab (watch carefully and instruct that you just want veggies (yachae)\

Bibimbap with no egg or meat is always a good option.

Dokdori muk – acorn jelly salad

Jap chae (usually has meat, but sometimes you get lucky)
