During Korean holidays, families traditionally gather to enjoy foods like fried pancakes (jong) and rice cake soup (tteokguk). However, for those practicing vegetarianism, holidays filled with meat dishes can be challenging. In Korea, the number of vegetarians, whether vegan, pollo, or flexitarian, is on the rise due to various reasons such as health and environmental concerns. With increasing interest in vegetarian diets, options for holiday meals using vegetables and seafood are available that maintain traditional flavors while offering lighter, more digestible alternatives. These include lentil vegetable patties, oyster rice cake soup, tofu skewers, kimchi mushroom dumplings, and mushroom glass noodles, all showcasing the variety of delicious vegetarian dishes compatible with Korean traditions.
