동네 주말에 슬슬 걸어가서 가끔 먹는 한국 음식
나이 좀 있는 사람들이 좋아하는 음식인데
의외로 젊은이들도 잘 먹는 사람도 꽤 된다.
There’s a small restaurant in our neighborhood that we stroll to now and then, especially on quiet weekends. It serves a classic Korean dish—one that's often loved by the older generation, but surprisingly embraced by quite a few younger people, too.
지난 주말 비가 추적추적 내려서 먹으러 갔음.
역시나 맛있었음.
Last weekend, it was drizzling softly. Perfect weather for warm, comforting food. So off we went.
As always, it hit the spot.
먹다 보니 이 지경.
처음에 예쁘게 나온 국그릇의 모습을 찍었어야 하는데.
선지와 우거지와 콩나물 그리고 밥의 모습.
I meant to take a picture of the soup before we dug in—but here’s what was left before I remembered to take out my phone.
What’s in the bowl?
Tender ox blood curd (called seonji), greens (ugeoji), bean sprouts, and rice—swimming in a rich, savory broth. It's earthy, nourishing, and oddly addictive.
더 확대한 모습.
재밌는 점은 나는 좋아하는데,
남편은 선지를 잘 못 먹는다.
선지는 소의 피를 굳힌 것인데, 징그럽다고 한다.
그럴 수 있지. 그렇지만 맛있다.
Here’s a closer look.
Funny thing is, I love seonji, but my husband can’t bring himself to eat it.
“It’s literally coagulated cow’s blood!” he says, horrified.
Fair enough. But honestly? It’s delicious.
반찬으로 나오는 고추와 된장.
국밥을 먹다가 매운 고추를 한 입 베어물면 땀이 훅 나면서 맛에 엣지가 생긴다.
The sidekick: chili pepper & doenjang
With dishes like this, you always get fresh green chilies and a dollop of doenjang (fermented soybean paste) on the side.
Take a bite of the fiery pepper mid-soup, and suddenly you’re sweating—your taste buds on high alert.
이렇게 된장을 찍어서 먹는다.
정말로 매우니깐 조심할 것.
Dip it lightly in the paste for an extra salty punch.
But be warned: it’s very spicy. Handle with care.
서민 음식. 선지해장국.
Simple, humble, and deeply Korean—seonji haejangguk isn’t for everyone, but it just might surprise you.
