As the well known Korean phrase “eat healthy and you will stay healthy” suggests, no medicine beats a fine-cooked meal. This belief is well reflected in Korea’s boyangsik food, which literally means food that invigorates the body. The most popular boyangsik foods in Korea are those that have a meat-based broth like samgyetang, seolleongtang, and gomtang.

You can find great places to tast those health foods in Korea.
