This is the main branch that has been all over social media lately. From so-jjigae loaded with fresh beef and healthful minari (water parsley), to yukhoe bibimbap packed with Korean beef, tangy-sweet yukhoe mulhoe that gets your appetite going, and nutty mung bean pancakes ground in-house! Hanjaechon gets both taste and health in one go~ 👍🏻 ![Hanjaechon dishes made with Korean beef and minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew-04-txivm-945.webp) Hanjaechon takes its name from Hanjae Village in Cheongdo. I heard it brings local food culture into Korean dishes by using Hanjae minari, which Cheongdo is known for, along with Korean beef. ![Information about Hanjae minari and Korean beef at Hanjaechon](https://img.superchart.com/images/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew-05-msa86-966.webp) ## Spicy Korean beef so-jjigae and tasting yukhoe One big plus is that it opens early in the morning, so you can eat here for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I ordered Hanjaechon’s signature spicy Korean beef so-jjigae and a tasting portion of yukhoe (seasoned raw beef). The spicy Korean beef so-jjigae is more fiery than the regular version! This one is seriously something else. Perfect with rice, perfect with drinks—it completely won over my taste buds, Hanjaechon 👍🏻👍🏻 ![Spicy Korean beef so-jjigae and tasting yukhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew-06-1np6g-966.webp) ![Table setting with ordered dishes at Hanjaechon](https://img.superchart.com/images/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew-07-1ww2q-966.webp) ### Self-serve bar and home-style side dishes After ordering, it was time for a tour of the self-serve bar. There was bean sprout soup, stir-fried seaweed stems, braised burdock root, kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi), two kinds of stir-fried mushrooms, garlic, and ssamjang. They were homemade, wonderfully home-style side dishes. ![Self-serve side dishes and soup selection](https://img.superchart.com/images/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew-08-tv0cb-966.webp) They also served seasoned peppers and fresh radish salad as the basic sides, haha. The delicious stir-fried fish cake was the best. A healthy Korean spread for ₩10,000, with beef-loaded so-jjigae and all these side dishes!! Shall we treat ourselves to a wholesome, filling meal? 😊 ![Korean beef so-jjigae with Korean side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew-09-1hpsl-966.webp) ![Korean beef so-jjigae takeout at Hanjaechon Gumi Main Branch in Indong, Gumi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew-10-1ibss-966.webp) Hanjaechon’s proud signature dish: spicy Korean beef so-jjigae for two! It looks incredibly generous, right? Loads of beef + loads of minari + lots of garlic and glass noodles. Just bring it to a rolling boil for 7 minutes before eating. The tasting yukhoe was raw beef mixed together with garlic and sesame oil ㅠㅠ Even the aroma was nutty and so good with rice. It was an amazing match with the crisp minari!!! ![Tasting yukhoe mixed with garlic and sesame oil](https://img.superchart.com/images/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew-11-iatcg-966.webp) Ready to enjoy Hanjaechon 🧡 ![Meal ready with Hanjaechon so-jjigae and yukhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew-12-8985k-966.webp) ## The pairing of yukhoe and peppery so-jjigae The yukhoe is a must at Hanjaechon! Their yukhoe bibimbap is also so delicious. It comes with fresh Korean beef yukhoe, crisp vegetables, and minari to mix into the rice. I wasn’t confident I could finish both so-jjigae and yukhoe bibimbap, so switching to the tasting yukhoe was an excellent choice 🤎 The so-jjigae uses Korean beef graded 1+ or higher, with plenty of beef in a deeply simmered broth. Its peppery yet rich broth is just fantastic. You could easily polish off a whole bowl of rice with it, haha. ![So-jjigae broth with Korean beef and minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew-13-dbcvg-966.webp) A newly rising 🍚 rice thief: so-jjigae. Especially if you love hot broth, you will absolutely! love it so~ much, haha. Unlike pork stew, it was less greasy, with a nutty flavor that spread pleasantly and a cleaner finish. ![A hot bowl of Korean beef so-jjigae](https://img.superchart.com/images/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew-14-qrpd9-1200.webp) Hanjaechon so-jjigae & yukhoe, a wholesome meal enjoyed with rice and side dishes. The spicy so-jjigae is perfect for a hangover, seriously. It is great drinking food, of course, but you really can’t beat it as a hangover meal. ![Korean meal with so-jjigae and yukhoe](https://img.superchart.com/images/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew-15-10i73-966.webp) ## Taking home 2 servings of so-jjigae to cook Hanjaechon was too delicious to end with just the meal, so I went ahead and got a 2-serving takeout order of so-jjigae too!!! Takeout is available in 2-serving portions. When you order, they pack the ingredients prepared that day and the broth separately, haha. Fresh so-jjigae every single day 👍🏻 ![Two-serving so-jjigae takeout set](https://img.superchart.com/images/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew-16-blse6-966.webp) ![So-jjigae takeout ingredients and broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew-17-114cy-966.webp) ![Hanjaechon so-jjigae takeout cooked at home](https://img.superchart.com/images/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew-18-1ve4l-966.webp) Hanjaechon’s so-jjigae takeout comes in two containers—one of ingredients and one of broth—and there was so~ much more than I expected 👍🏻 Here’s how to enjoy it: first bring the broth to a rolling boil in a pot, then add the beef, minari, and seasoning all at once and cook. The takeout kit did not include glass noodles, haha, so I added glass noodles and bean sprouts from home to relive the Hanjaechon magic one more time 😊 ## Where it is - Hanjaechon Gumi Main Branch (한재촌 구미본점) - 18-5 Indongjungang-ro 3-gil, Gumi-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea (경상북도 구미시 인동중앙로3길 18-5) - 경상북도 구미시 인동중앙로3길 18-5 한재촌 구미본점 - 36.1082465, 128.420241 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%95%9C%EC%9E%AC%EC%B4%8C%20%EA%B5%AC%EB%AF%B8%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@36.1082465,128.420241,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@suseong-evening-plate/gumi-hanjaechon-spicy-beef-stew/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
