Mookji, a kimchi that has been aged for a long time and is ripe kimchi. Even if you eat it as it is, the sour taste stimulates your appetite, but ripe kimchi shines more when you cook and eat it.

2. Steamed Kimchi with the mild taste of ripe kimchi Incheon “군봉묵은지김치찜”


Two-year-old kimchi jjim Incheon “Gunbong mukji kimchi jjim” with no supplement. Heo Young-man evaluated this restaurant, which washes ripe kimchi and makes kimchi jjim with minimal seasoning, as a decent taste. Softly cooked kimchi is soaked in the oil of pork, so if you put it on white rice, it is a rice thief. Kimchi, which does not have a strong taste, tastes in harmony with other ingredients. The meat using pork neck and back ribs is stir-fried once in perilla powder and boiled thoroughly to show off its softness. It is not a strong-tasting kimchi jjim, but it is a subtle-tasting kimchi jjim that keeps coming to mind after eating.

Native chicken raised with herbal medicine for chewy texture and savory taste, and kimchi, which follows the reputation of Jeolla-do kimchi, blend well in one pot with rich taste and flavor.
