Hometown Jip 고향집

For dubu-gui you grill the tofu yourself on a pan slicked with plenty of perilla oil; letting the outside get a little crisp makes the soft middle stand out. The tofu is made at the shop before dawn every day, and stir-fried kimchi comes with it. The biji stew is built on cheonggukjang and has a funky smell, like the blocks of fermented soybean once hung under farmhouse eaves. On weekends you join the queue through KakaoTalk and get a text when your turn comes.
