Megi & Sancheoneo 메기와산천어

Every stew arrives with freshly cooked cauldron rice; pour water into the emptied pot, and by the end of the meal the scorched crust has softened into sungnyung, a toasty rice drink. Catfish maeuntang has soft flesh that slides off the bone, while sancheoneo maeuntang uses a small trout-like fish whose tight flesh stays firm after cooking.
