Yesan chicken restaurant with sausage dakbokkeum: Sijang Dakbokkeum

We added sausage to the boneless shishito pepper chicken stir-fry.

Finding Sijang Dakbokkeum inside Yesan Market

Sijang Dakbokkeum is located inside Yesan Market. Yesan Market is sneakily quite big, so it was not the easiest place to find—but we followed the map inside and found it! Even the exterior was full of market atmosphere~

There are no tables inside, so you can eat at the tables out front or in the market’s central table zone~ We chose to eat in the middle of the market! If you want to eat there, just order it for dining in.

There is no seating inside; it is just for ordering. Customers kept coming in, so I could really feel how popular it was. Once we completed our order, order updates came through KakaoTalk in real time.

Shishito pepper chicken stir-fry with extra sausage

Sijang Dakbokkeum has a single main menu item. The shishito pepper chicken stir-fry is the star, and you can add noodles or other ingredients~ We added sausage! There were lots of toppings besides sausage too, including wide glass noodles and shishito peppers.

After ordering, we came outside to find things lively out front. I looked over and saw that they were selling apple slushies! Yesan is famous for apples, so of course there were apple slushies. They serve them stuck into little tubes, and the kids absolutely loved them. The tube was so cute that I kind of wanted one…

Peak-time waits and the market’s central tables

Since everything is stir-fried in a wok and there are lots of customers, you may need to wait during lunch or dinner peak hours~ We visited during the lunch rush and waited a bit, but they send you a KakaoTalk notification while you wait~ Looking around Yesan Market made the time fly by.

It came out on a tray like this, which I loved because it really brought out the market mood. I love this Yesan Market vibe~~ We carried the tray over to the central table zone. Since tables are limited, I recommend claiming a spot first! It came out faster than I expected, though, so it is okay even if you cannot.

Amazing, right!! This is for two people, and the portion is seriously substantial. It looked so delicious just sitting there…

The signature chicken stir-fry was packed with shishito peppers—seriously lots of them. And that is just the standard version! It was loaded with shishito peppers, chicken, rice cakes, onion, garlic, green onion, and sausage.

Even the small plates had that market feeling~ Isn’t this kind of thoughtful touch the best????

There was roasted whole garlic and green onion in it too, and it was so good eaten together~

Sweet-spicy sauce and shishito peppers

The sauce had a little kick, and it was so good. Halfway through, I really wanted some rice with it. That sauce was the best. Spicy, sweet, and totally my style. Eaten with the shishito peppers, their lightly refreshing taste made it even better. A dish that was such a perfect match for the Yesan Market vibe❣️

The two of us ate until we were stuffed… The portion was substantial. If you are traveling to Yesan, you have to try it~ The atmosphere at Yesan Market was so nice, and the shishito pepper chicken stir-fry eaten inside the market was delicious too. You can add a range of toppings to suit your taste, and the peppers’ crisp, refreshing quality went so well with the chicken stir-fry. Above all, the sauce was just spicy enough and sweet, the kind of flavor everyone would enjoy~~
