Brass-bowl seafood abalone rice soup at a Hanam Misa restaurant
O Hyeongje Hwangje Nurungjitang Hanam Misa Main Branch is a nurungjitang (scorched rice soup) restaurant on Misa-daero in Hanam, Gyeonggi, open less than a year. Six side dishes arrive on brass plates with brass spoons and chopsticks, alongside a seafood abalone nurungjitang topped with a whole fresh ginseng root and a sweet-and-sour yurinki (crispy fried chicken). The stone pot keeps bubbling so the mild broth never cools, and with green onion kimchi and dried radish salad the seasoning lands just right — a warming meal for a change of season.
