Wonju Chueotang 원주추어탕

Loach simmered until it breaks down completely gives Jinpum Chueotang a thick body, and adding rice a little at a time makes it heavier still. Pungent green-onion kimchi sits alongside. The chueo set adds chueo-twigim, whole loach fried crisp and eaten bone and all, plus soy-marinated abalone and shrimp; the smooth soup and the crunchy fry end up taking turns at the same table.
