Breakfasts

Traditional Korean breakfasts are far from sugary cereals — they’re nourishing, balanced, and soothing.

A light soup served with rice is common, and a bowl of pollack soup can brighten your morning while clearing away the heaviness from the night before. These days, you’ll also find semi-Western twists on the table: buttery egg bread from corner bakeries, or sizzling street toast layered with ham, cabbage, and a slightly sweet and savory sauce.

Whether you crave comfort in a bowl or something quick on the go, Korean breakfasts offer both warmth and creativity to start the day right.
