Recently, I visited Seonsan Gopchang, featured in MBC's entertainment show <What Do You Do When You Play?> in Gumi.
As one of Gumi's representative dishes, I had the opportunity to experience the essence of K-food.
Seonsan Gopchang, known for its pork intestines stew, has become a staple dish in the Gumi Seonsan area.
This stew includes pork intestines, green onions, onions, seasonings, and broth.
When the stew arrived, it was filled with intestines and vegetables.
While it looked like a familiar stew, it was prepared by boiling with fresh kimchi.
As the stew began to bubble, I chopped the intestines and vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
Then, I added the accompanying kimchi to continue boiling.
To enjoy it properly, I learned that it should be boiled on high heat for about 15 minutes, and once the broth reduces, add more broth and simmer for another 5 minutes before reducing the heat.
I followed the instructions and let it simmer comfortably.
After sufficient boiling, I tasted the broth first.
The initial flavor was both spicy and rich, reminiscent of kimchi stew due to the added kimchi.
The unique flavor of the intestines made the broth feel even heartier.
The intestines were tender and easy to pick up with chopsticks, and the onions blended well with the broth.
Eating the intestines with kimchi reduced the greasiness while adding a spicy kick, making it hard to stop eating.
I also ordered rice to enjoy with the stew.
The rice, garnished with seaweed and sesame oil, was perfect for mixing with the gopchang stew broth.
Adding some broth to the rice created a different yet delightful experience.
The rich broth soaked into the rice, making for a satisfying meal.
Finally, I couldn't miss out on the essential fried rice!
They added rice to the remaining seasoning with seaweed and sesame oil, then stir-fried it.
Utilizing the leftover seasoning from the stew made for a perfect finish.
This visit allowed me to taste Seonsan Gopchang, which I had only seen on TV.
From the first bite to the last fried rice, I realized the charm of this dish lies in harmoniously boiling familiar ingredients rather than adding special ones.
The spicy flavor of the kimchi and intestines certainly gave it a unique identity as a dish to savor in Gumi.
Experiencing the cooking style and flavor of Gumi's Seonsan Gopchang was a meaningful journey into the local cuisine.
Here are some moments from my visit:
