In June 2010, a stall at the corner of a market sold tofu, noodles, pork over rice bowl, and pork innards in South Pyongan Province.

Rice comes with spicy tofu soup. Soju (rice liquor) is also sold at hawker stalls.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, those individually-owned hawker stalls did not exist in North Korea at all. However, the food rationing system collapsed and black markets became prevalent across the country in the mid-1990s. Hawker stalls selling rice cake, bread, and meals emerged after that. Since then, the number of hawker stalls has exploded. It has become very popular for North Koreans to eat out now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/2016\/06\/movie\/20160624-vendors-by-cracking-down\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">[Video Report] Fleeing back alley vendors by cracking down<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/2012\/07\/books\/release\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2193\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2193 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Rimjingang_banner001.gif\" alt=\"Rimjingang_banner001\" width=\"280\" height=\"120\"><\/a><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">* <a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/2012\/07\/news\/north-korean-reporters\/\">Editor\u2019s notes on North Korean reporters<\/a><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/category\/report\/\"><\/a> <\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/category\/pdf-archive\/\">ARCHIVE(pdf) &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapress.org\/rimjin-gang\/img\/map\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DPRK MAP &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What kind of food is available at hawker stalls in North Korea?
