It is a set rice meal topped with Cheongyang chili seasoning packed with savory flavor, made by stir-frying minced beef and Cheongyang chilies. ![Sumi dakbokkeumtang ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangridan-gil-family-dakbokkeumtang/gyeongju-hwangridan-gil-family-dakbokkeumtang-17-1p4qu-966.webp) ![Birthday Korean meal on Gyeongju Hwangridan-gil at Dongyang Baekban](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangridan-gil-family-dakbokkeumtang/gyeongju-hwangridan-gil-family-dakbokkeumtang-18-gxhz4-966.webp) ## Large boneless Sumi dakbokkeumtang Sumi dakbokkeumtang is a rich, deeply flavored spicy chicken stew with boneless chicken, a blend of herbal and beef-bone broths, plenty of Sumi potatoes, and vegetables. Its lightly sweet flavor and deep savoriness went so well together that I finished a bowl of rice in no time. ![Dakbokkeumtang with glass noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangridan-gil-family-dakbokkeumtang/gyeongju-hwangridan-gil-family-dakbokkeumtang-19-1e5bc-966.webp) We ordered the large, and it was truly packed with ingredients. I also loved that it came with glass noodles from the start, without needing to add them separately. The spicy pepper rice is the kind of thing that brings back even a lost appetite—an absolute recommendation! The tender boneless chicken was easy to eat without picking around bones, and the generous Sumi potatoes and vegetables made for a wonderfully deep, rich flavor. There was no unpleasant chicken smell at all. The broth was gently spicy, pleasantly sharp, and clean, too! > Mash the egg yolk into the broth and eat it together—it is seriously delicious. ![Dakbokkeumtang broth and egg yolk](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangridan-gil-family-dakbokkeumtang/gyeongju-hwangridan-gil-family-dakbokkeumtang-20-16w98-966.webp) They also gave us a big bowl of rice topped with seaweed flakes, and mixing it into the stew was really delicious. ![Large bowl of rice topped with seaweed flakes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangridan-gil-family-dakbokkeumtang/gyeongju-hwangridan-gil-family-dakbokkeumtang-21-g2eat-966.webp) The sweet-and-spicy seasoning had soaked right into the chicken, and it was so, so delicious. ![Sweet-and-spicy dakbokkeumtang seasoning](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangridan-gil-family-dakbokkeumtang/gyeongju-hwangridan-gil-family-dakbokkeumtang-22-17zlr-966.webp) My mom said it was delicious too, and the sweet-and-spicy seasoning had soaked right into the chicken—it was really, really so good. ![Tender boneless dakbokkeumtang meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangridan-gil-family-dakbokkeumtang/gyeongju-hwangridan-gil-family-dakbokkeumtang-23-3s7df-966.webp) ![Ending a Korean meal on Hwangridan-gil](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hwangridan-gil-family-dakbokkeumtang/gyeongju-hwangridan-gil-family-dakbokkeumtang-24-1visc-966.webp) I cannot even describe how delicious it was, haha.
