I took home its freshly grilled nurungji squid sundae and loved its well-seasoned, chewy yet tender texture; reheat it in a pan or air fryer for crispness.

If you are looking for a light Sokcho date stop for a beer while traveling, or somewhere to go on a rainy day in Sokcho, I recommend coming to Sokcho Central Market for tasty fried snacks and a beer :) ![Fried snacks and beer enjoyed at Sokcho Central Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-nurungji-sundae-hwangbuja/sokcho-nurungji-sundae-hwangbuja-15-wm8n1-900.webp) ## How to Make It Crispy Again at Home We were taking it home as a souvenir, so we got the nurungji squid sundae to go! ![Packaged nurungji squid sundae](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-nurungji-sundae-hwangbuja/sokcho-nurungji-sundae-hwangbuja-16-149bj-900.webp) With takeout, they include chopsticks and soy sauce like this! ![Takeout set with chopsticks and soy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-nurungji-sundae-hwangbuja/sokcho-nurungji-sundae-hwangbuja-17-14xh2-900.webp) The nurungji squid sundae was grilled properly golden brown. If it has gone cold by the time you eat it at home, warming it in the microwave for about 40 seconds on the same day is just right—but the absolute best way is to grill both sides again in a pan! Reheating it in a pan makes it properly crispy, so I recommend a pan or an air fryer :) ![Nurungji squid sundae reheated for eating](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-nurungji-sundae-hwangbuja/sokcho-nurungji-sundae-hwangbuja-18-16lyu-900.webp) ## Well-Seasoned, Chewy, and So Good This beautifully grilled squid sundae was seriously soooo delicious ㅠ.ㅠ It makes my top three nurungji squid sundae spots that I have tried! It was seasoned perfectly, so I did not even need to dip it in soy sauce to enjoy the full flavor, and the texture was chewy but tender too—so, so good! ![Golden-brown grilled nurungji squid sundae](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-nurungji-sundae-hwangbuja/sokcho-nurungji-sundae-hwangbuja-19-8dyh5-900.webp) The squid pieces were a good size and not tough, which made it even better...🖤🖤🖤 Truly one of the best squid sundaes of my life haha. I have to go again 🖤🖤🖤 If you visit Sokcho Central Market while traveling in Gangwon-do or Sokcho, I absolutely recommend stopping by Hwangbuja Twigim for its insanely delicious nurungji squid sundae :) ## Where it is - Hwangbuja Twigim (황부자튀김) (황부자튀김) - 16 Jungang-ro 147beon-gil, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea (Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market, Units 26–27) - 강원특별자치도 속초시 중앙로147번길 16 속초관광수산시장 26, 27호 - 38.2047987, 128.5898956 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%99%A9%EB%B6%80%EC%9E%90%ED%8A%80%EA%B9%80/@38.2047987,128.5898956,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gangwon-woodfire-meals/sokcho-nurungji-sundae-hwangbuja/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
