When the eels are plump, they are charcoal-grilled to achieve a characteristic crispy exterior and tender interior. The grilled eel pairs excellently with the assortment of side dishes, including a clear Kongnamulguk (Bean sprout soup). Complete your meal with a Megimaeuntang (Spicy catfish stew) featuring Sujebi (Hand-pulled dough).
