Yangpyeong weekend Korean course by sauce-jar windows: Ochan Hoedong
Ochan Hoedong is a fermented Korean (hanjeongsik) restaurant on Gangnam-ro in Gangsang-myeon, Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi, serving set courses made with house-made jang (fermented sauces) and fermented vinegar. On a weekend trip to Yangpyeong, the writer ordered the 59,000 won Ochan Hoedong course, which ran from gimbugak (crispy seaweed chips) and an enzyme-dressing salad to seed soy sauce hanwoo tteokgalbi (Korean beef patty), 10-year-aged doenjang stew with lotus leaf rice and rice gangjeong (puffed rice sweets), while the driving partner drank non-alcoholic fruit vinegar wine. Ochan Hoedong is a hanjeongsik spot for a Yangpyeong trip that offers the time-built taste of fermentation, unlike the usual Korean set meal.
