Chueotang (Chu-eo-tang) is a traditional Korean cuisine that is made of loach. Chueotang is a comfort food to many Koreans because it is known as a boyangsik (invigorating food). Typically, there are two ways for cooking cheuotang; the loach in cheuotang will be served either as grinded or as a whole. Although, there are quite a few Koreans who don't enjoy this dish because of its unique texture and taste, Chueotang is still popular as it is full of proteins, calcium and minerals. Today’s featured restaurant Sutonggol Chueotang not only tastes good, but is also a Good Restaurant selected by Pyeongtaek City.
Sugoltong Chueotang sells chueotang (loach soup), samgyetang (chicken soup with ginseng) and baeksuk (chicken soup with rice). Unlike many other restaurants, Sugoltong Chueotang has various types of cheuotang. The basic chueotang, made with grinded loach, the spicier chueotang, and the ‘whole Chueotang’ made with ungrinded loach. Other than that, there is also a chueotang topped with freshwater snails and marsh snails, as well as dishes including deep fried loach, fried and boiled loach dumplings.
Once you order a chueotang, you will also be served with basic side dishes and rice in a hot pot. Take rice out of the hot pot and enjoy it with the soup. Before digging in, pour the hot water into your empty hot pot and close it with the lid! You will also get a serving of noodles. Put the noodles in the chueotang and enjoy! After finishing the chueotang, open the hot pot and have sungnyung (remaining rice and water). It will help your digestion and refresh your mouth.
Sutonggol Chueotang opens from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. everyday, and it closes for two days during the Lunar New Year and Chuseok.
