☔ 4 Korean foods for international students on a rainy day

Have you ever wondered why your Korean friends suddenly suggest eating pajeon or kalguksu on a rainy day? 🌧️

Today, we’ll kindly introduce four Korean dishes perfect for rainy days for international students! ✨

🥞 Crispy and delicious jeon dishes

The first food Koreans think of on rainy days is jeon!

The sound of rain and frying jeon are similar, so it's a popular choice. In fact, sales of jeon restaurants even increase by 33~89% on rainy days compared to clear days.

1. Pajeon: The signature dish for rainy days that Koreans truly love.

2. Haemul Pajeon: Made with seafood like squid, shrimp, mussels—great for sharing with friends.

3. Note: If you have seafood allergies, please make sure to check before ordering!

👉 Just one bite of crispy haemul pajeon will chase away those rainy day blues!

🌶️ Spicy, authentic Korean flavor—kimchi jeon

If you want to try something a bit spicier and with a richer Korean flavor than pajeon, kimchi jeon is perfect!

If you hesitated because you were curious about the ingredients, don’t worry.

1. Main ingredients: Chopped kimchi, flour, and eggs—mixed and pan-fried.

2. Taste features: Spicy and tangy, with crunchy edges—great as a snack or with drinks.

3. Note: Some places may add pork or squid, so ask in advance!

👉 If pajeon feels a bit heavy, definitely try spicy kimchi jeon!

🍜 Noodle dishes for when you crave warm soup

On chilly, rainy days, don’t you sometimes just crave a hot, comforting soup dish?

Here's a mild menu that even those new to Korean food can enjoy without worry.

1. Kalguksu: Noodles cut by knife and boiled—hearty and perfect even when dining alone.

2. Sujebi: Similar to kalguksu, but hand-torn dough instead of noodles.

3. Soup types: Usually made with meat broth or seafood (like clams).

👉 Sip the warm, mild broth and melt away the rainy day chills!
