The menu was more extensive than I expected, with beef short-rib pot rice, abalone pot rice, crab-meat pot rice, Korean beef large-intestine pot rice, mackerel pot rice, cockle pot rice, and pollack-roe pot rice, so it was easy to pick according to your taste. ![Varied menu at Sorori Sotbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice-08-1rs75-900.webp) I’ve visited Sorori so many times that there’s practically no menu item I haven’t tried! This time, I ordered the Korean beef large-intestine pot rice and beef short-rib pot rice. ![Ordered Korean beef large-intestine and beef short-rib pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice-09-1qxy1-900.webp) ![Sorori Sotbap meal spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice-10-1f1xf-900.webp) ![A full table of Korean beef large-intestine and beef short-rib pot rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice-11-idqgo-900.webp) ## How did I eat the Korean beef large-intestine pot rice? First, the Korean beef large-intestine pot rice was a lovely pairing of rich, savory daechang (beef large intestine) and warm pot rice. If you enjoy daechang’s distinctive richness, this is a menu item you’ll likely be very pleased with. Adding the supplied wasabi cut through the richness and kept every bite clean—can you see how generously packed it was with daechang? ![Savory Korean beef large-intestine pot-rice set](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice-12-1drzz-900.webp) ![Large-intestine pot rice with wasabi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice-13-jddh0-900.webp) ![A pot-rice meal with beef large intestine and short ribs at Sorori Sotbap in Gagyeong-dong, Cheongju](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice-14-1hzpk-900.webp) ![Korean beef large-intestine pot-rice menu set](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice-15-1qte6-900.webp) ## How to enjoy Sorori pot rice Pot rice is even more enjoyable when you follow the suggested method rather than simply eating it as-is. Once it arrives, mix the rice and toppings well, transfer them to your rice bowl, then add soy sauce, butter, and furikake (Japanese rice seasoning) to suit your taste. Wrapping the pot rice in the accompanying gim (roasted seaweed) was delicious too. The Korean beef large-intestine pot rice is eaten a little differently from the regular pot rice. They recommend not mixing the rice and daechang, but instead scooping up the rice and adding small amounts of wasabi as you eat. ![How to enjoy pot rice deliciously](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice-16-1et4q-900.webp) ![Soy sauce, butter, and furikake accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice-17-d9icj-900.webp) ![Pot rice enjoyed with roasted seaweed](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice-18-1f7jt-900.webp) ## Beef short-rib pot rice with broth and braised ribs The beef short-rib pot rice comes with tender galbijjim (braised beef short ribs), making it a great choice when you want a substantial meal. Sorori says it carefully prepares the galbijjim with its own broth and special short-rib sauce, and eaten with the rice, it definitely had the hearty comfort of a Korean meal. Even though it was just one meal, I was impressed by the care that went into preparing both the rice and braised ribs. ![Beef short-rib pot rice topped with braised ribs](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice-19-1hh4t-900.webp) And after finishing the pot rice, you can pour in warm broth and enjoy it like ochazuke (rice in tea or broth)! ![Pot rice enjoyed with added broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice-20-1el9x-900.webp) ![Finishing pot rice like ochazuke](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice/cheongju-gagyeong-sorori-dolsot-rice-21-1xkqf-900.webp) ## When you’re craving Korean food in Gagyeong-dong, Cheongju When you’re craving a clean-tasting yet satisfying Korean meal like these days, there may be nothing quite like pot rice.
