We had our first Chinese food here in Korea Friday night. So good, so different from anything you would get in the states.
First up, Tang su-yuk...deep fried pork in a slightly sweet sauce with a garnish of cucumber, carrot, lotus root and ginko nuts. Dip in soy sauce spiked with red pepper flakes.
Next up, Jaejang myeon...a black sauce (black bean maybe) with onions and small pieces of pork poured over homemade noodles, shredded cucumber, the ubiquitous sweet corn kernels, and a hardboiled egg.
Finally, Jampong...octopus, squid, mussels and scallops in the shell, head-on shrimp and a half a crab in a fiery red soup broth with more homemade noodles.
Garnish with kimchi, pickled yellow radish (danmuji), raw onions to dip in sauce, sleeping three year old, and lovely Korean friend to help us figure out what to order.
And scissors for cutting noodles. Love this. Hard.
All of this for 24,000 won = $20.80 USD. We will never be able to eat out in the states again.
