I really want to recommend it. ![A plate of minari gondol-i jeon at Yunseul](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-shabu-spicy-broth-yunseul/seoul-station-shabu-spicy-broth-yunseul-20-gdch5-966.webp) ![Cross-section of minari gondol-i jeon showing the roe](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-station-shabu-spicy-broth-yunseul/seoul-station-shabu-spicy-broth-yunseul-21-1j8oe-966.webp) ### Minari gondol-i jeon: the side we added This is minari gondol-i jeon (minari and roe pancake).
