Songdo Mulhoe 송도물회

The mulhoe comes without any broth, looking more like a rice bowl: flounder sekkosi, thin slices with the soft bones in, over vegetables with only a spoon of chojang on top. You make the cold soup yourself from the vinegar and chojang on the table plus ice, which comes when you ask. That is why the same bowl strikes some people as clean and others as bland, and if it tastes thin, the only fix is to be generous with the chojang and vinegar. The bones in the sekkosi are well trimmed and soft. The seaweed soup on the side is made with nothing but seaweed, salt and soy sauce.
