During the rainy season or on days of autumn rain, there is more time to stay indoors. In this case, the food you eat goes beyond just filling your stomach and gives you comfort and relaxation. There are foods that come to mind naturally on a rainy day, including golden pancakes, hot soup dishes, and even simple snacks. From now on, let's look at menus that will satisfy both emotions and tastes.
1. Green onion pancake
The word 'Pajeon on a rainy day' is not for nothing. The sound of sizzling from the frying pan is strangely similar to the sound of rain, stimulating emotions. A soggy day is instantly comfortable when a golden and crisp texture is combined with a warm soup. Another great attraction is that you can choose and eat seafood pajeon, kimchi jeon, and chives jeon according to your taste.
2. Makgeolli (Korean rice wine)
Makgeolli is an inseparable partner from green onion pancakes. The subtle sweetness and pungent freshness complete the deeper taste with the sound of rain as the background. A glass of makgeolli shared in cloudy weather keeps the atmosphere alive, and it is a warm comfort even if you drink it alone.
3. Udon
Chewy noodles and steaming hot soup are perfect for chilly weather. On a rainy day, a bowl of udon warms up the droopy body and mind at once. Simple but strong menus such as fried udon and fried udon fill the hunger of rainy days. The deep taste of the soup calms the mind.
4. Pork back-bone stew
There is nothing like gamjatang when you want a spicy yet heavy soup. Soft meat, dried radish greens, and spicy soup combine to fill your stomach on a rainy day. Whenever you slurp hot soup, warmth spreads all over your body, and if you eat it with the sound of rain, it gives you a deeper satisfaction.
5. Kimchi stew
Kimchi stew, which can be easily made with just the ingredients at home, is a menu that does not fail at any time. If you boil pork and tofu in ripe kimchi, a simple ingredient is enough for one meal. If you pour a large glass of rice and soak it in the soup, the soggy day becomes a little brighter. It deserves to be called 's soul food' that cannot be left out of the Korean table.
6. baked sweet potatoes and corn
If there are foods that bring back memories of childhood on a rainy day, baked sweet potatoes and corn. Sweet and fluffy sweet potatoes and chewy corn are simple but cozy to the heart. The moment the warm steam rises, the forgotten nostalgia comes back with the sound of rain.
On a rainy day, I feel empty and heavy in my body, but the power of warm food is greater than I thought. Green onion pancakes, makgeolli, hot soup dishes, and snacks that bring back memories make rainy days special in their own way. Today, let's find food to soothe our stomachs with the sound of rain in the background. A small meal can change the mood of the day.
