A South Korean-style spicy stew called Budae Jjigae was cited as the most favored dish among Chinese tourists more than fried chicken and Samgyetang (traditional ginseng chicken soup), according to a new Chinese big data survey.
 
For many years, Korean-style fried chicken and Samgyetang were known to have been favored by Chinese tourists visiting South Korea.

But China's food review application, Dianping, found in an August survey of 15,000 restaurants in Seoul that Budae Jjigae, a kimchi, ham and sausage stew, was the most popular keyword with 23.6 percent while Korean-style fried chicken and Samgyetang were second and fifth respectively. Dianping has been used by one-third of Chinese tourists visiting South Korea.

Budae Jjigae's origin dates back to a period after the 1950-53 Korean War when US soldiers fought alongside South Korea to repel North Korea's invasion. Its original form was a kimchi stew made with surplus food rations such as ham, sausages, baked beans, and cheese, which were leaked from US military bases.

Samgyetang got the last and fifth place. The chicken soup tastes great and also is known to be very good for health because ginseng is one of its main ingredients.
