Sundubu: A Lesson in Heat

I love Sundubu. I love the glistening globules of Chili Oil. I love the creamy, contrasting soft tofu. I love putting just the yellow egg yolk (I leave out the white) into the boiling broth and watch it poach in the rich, spicy liquid. I love how it makes me sweat afterward.

Got Soup? Say Hello to the Soup Nazi

Yesterday, I was getting sundubu and the waitress reminded me of the soup nazi. She yelled at me for taking too long to peruse the menu and then got angry when I refused to eat 2 of the 5 side-dishes that came with the meal (I was just trying not to be wasteful. I mean I didn't need fresh kimchi, sauteed kimchi, and turnip kimchi at the same meal. I went for the fresh kimchi.) I seriously thought she was going to lose it when I asked for an egg to drop into the sundubu. She gave me the egg and the evil eye that said, "No Soup for you." Oh, Korea. How I "heart" thee. Dan

Metdol Sundubu

Darlene asked where you can find Metdol Sundubu. It's in Bucheondong, down a little alley. If you are heading up towards Bucheon 72 guest house ( www.bukchon72.com 743-8530), it's down a little alley along side a bunch of different restaurants. The number I have is 02-747-011. I'll try to be more accurate with the directions soon, but I'm late for class. 5 banchan that represents the different colors of Korean food. The sundubu is made in house. The egg is essential for flavor.

What's for lunch? Try Sundubu

One of my favorite Korean foods is Sundubu. It is a soft tofu stew that has chili paste, sesame oil, and vegetables. It comes boiling to the table and it tastes best when you drop a raw egg into the broth as soon as it comes to the table. The heat from the broth will soft boil the egg. The yolk should be a bit runny- like a sunny side up egg. When you mix the creamy yolk with the spicy soup, it tastes amazing. You can get it flavored many different ways such as with pork, beef, or seafood. This one is a seafood stew with shrimp and clams. A close up of the sundubu. This one also has some straw mushrooms in it and they add a springy, noodle like texture to the dish. And you can't forget about all the different banchan. The panchan is to balance the spiciness of the stew and to accompany the rice. This one was a new discovery. It's (soft boiled?) and fried peanuts in a soy and sesame oil. The nuts were crunchy and the savory notes went well with the dish. Another favori...

Gyeong Ju Restaurant Recommendations

Hey all, I am doing a quick post on Gyeong Ju (or Kyung Ju) while it is fresh in my mind. These are some of the best restaurants and bars that I've found in Gyeong ju so far. All the cool kids and University students hang out in Sunggungdong. If you are trying to find it tell the taxi driver Dongdae Sagaree (동대사거리). 1. 미깡 It's the classiest Japanese style joint you'll find in the area. The food and side dishes are great and they have live octopus. 010-3537-2208 2. S Multi-cultural Creative Space. It's a wine bar that has brick igloo like enclosures for each section. The wine prices are reasonable (20-80,000) and the snacks are alright. 054-772-7979 Downtown and around the Tombs Downtown is near the touristy areas so you should definitely check it out if you are looking to go shopping or see some sights. 1. 이풍녀 구로쌈밥(Guro Ssambap) This is the most famous Ssambap restaurant in the area.
