Beef-packed doenjang jjigae simmered over charcoal near Seonyudo Park

Self-paid. The blogger paid for this visit.

A meat restaurant near Seonyudo Station best known for its side stew: soybean-paste jjigae full of beef and tofu, brought to a boil over a charcoal brazier. Come for lunch, then walk on to Seonyudo Park by the Han River.

제가 느낀 바로 이곳은 조미료 안 쓴 된장찌개 중 1등입니다.

As far as I can tell, this is the best doenjang jjigae made without MSG.
