I had a business trip some days ago. As usually my business trip was seeking ways in the forest and mountain. We had ridden and visited several places. Next schedule was walking through the mountain and verifying report.
We were tired and hungry. At this time we found a shabby restaurant on the road. Their menu was the mixed rice with various wild vegetables.
Entering the restaurant, we could look at the forecourt.
.
They were preparing the wild vegetables. Preparing wild vegetables is complicated process. At first collecting in the mountain and the field, 2nd boiling, 3rd drying to preserve for long time. 4th boiling to eat
This was drying to preserve.
The day we visited was very sunny, so it was nice to dry the vegetables.
This cactus was nice.
At first, I thought the restaurant owner was loving cactus.
But they told me this cactus was a kinds of wild vegetables.
The fruit of this cactus was using for making a nectar.
They told me the fruit of the cactus is very helpful for various diseases.
The earthen wares were full of the forecourt.
The earthen wares were using to make the soy sauce and duinjang.
The duinjang is similar to the japanese miso, but duinjang needed to much time to fermentate.
The restaurant made all sauces by themselves. In korean cuisine, the most difficult thing is preparing sauce, because waiting time is essential in making traditional sauce.
The table was prepared.
This is wild vegetables, radish was added.
Duinjang stew and the pork

fresh vegetables and pork with duinjang
It seemed that I was very hungry. I ate for a while and thought that I didn’t take a picture to mix the rice with vegetables.
So I stopped to eat and took a picture.
We all satisfied.
There were dried vegetables on the wall to sell.
When you visit korea, try the wild vegetable rice. You will like it.
