Gossipguy · CC BY-SA 3.0

Rice cooked with oysters from the Seosan tidal flats, mixed with soy and spring onion before eating.

The west coast of Chungnam has wide tidal flats where oysters grow small but intensely flavoured. In the cold months they are cooked into rice in a stone pot; when it is done you pour over soy sauce with spring onion and sesame oil and mix. Served with seaweed soup and cabbage kimchi, it is the classic winter meal of the west coast.

Flavour: Sweet with the sea, fragrant with sesame
