Fish paste is one of the popular street foods when the weather gets colder. A glass of broth and a glass of broth will withstand the cold energy.

If you go to downtown Jecheon, you will see many shops named `` red oden. '' Red fish paste is a food seasoned with red fish paste. Although there is no accurate record of how and when red fish cake began in Jecheon, it has been popular as a snack of Jecheon for decades.

Fish paste is usually one kind in other local snack houses, but it is divided into red fish paste and bite fish paste in Jecheon. The fish paste is the fish paste we usually eat in soup, and the red fish cake is accompanied by spicy chili sauce. There are two kinds of bitter breadth and round one, but red fish cake usually uses only wide bread.

Fold the fish cakes in a twisted shape, put them in wooden chopsticks, and put them in the broth. And the red sauce transfers it to a sizzling wide plate. At this time, align the fish cakes to the sides. Top it with seasoning and sprinkle with chopped green onions.

In some stores, long rice cakes are placed in chopsticks and seasoned like red fish cakes.

The recipes and appearances do not vary greatly from shop to shop. There are only slightly different sauce tips for each shop. Some are spicy and some are less spicy. You can choose according to your taste. Generally, they are served with tempura and gimbap, and some places offer other foods. Red fish paste is strangely addictive. If you eat one, you will eat two or three. The price is good so you can eat more than one. It is 1,000 won for 4 red fish cakes.

The Jecheon Red Oden near the Central Market is one of the oldest, and the Red Oden House at the entrance to the Nato Traditional Market and the Oatgad House in the Nato Traditional Market are popular among locals. Note that some shops are closed on the first and third Sundays of each month.

A must-try snack in Jecheon with red fish paste is glutinous rice cake of 'dunkilssik'. I'm so excited about the name of the store. The name "Dengshil" means "to everyone in the world," and "to taste deliciously." In front of the shop, there is a small signboard with a friendly greeting. The signs that change every day bring little fun. The rustic store facade reflects decades of history. Following his mother-in-law, daughter-in-law has been handed down for the second generation. So many old regular customers. If you want to taste glutinous rice cakes and donuts on the weekend, hurry up a little. It's because it's so popular that it's too early to be a full version. Remember that Sunday is closed.

Dengsil Bun makes both glutinous rice cakes and donuts by hand. It's fun to see how red bean paste is put into chewy glutinous rice dough to make crunchy rice cake. Seeing glutinous rice cakes filled on a large tray makes mouthwatering. Even in chilly weather, a fan runs to cool the glutinous rice cake on one side. When the hot seaweed of glutinous rice cake falls out, put it in a box.

One large glutinous rice cake is just 700 won. Glutinous rice cake made with domestic glutinous rice and domestic red beans is very affordable. Try a bite of glutinous rice cake. Rather than a board draws, chewy chewy lives. Red bean is filled in immaculate glutinous rice cake. Bean jam is not sweet. The color and taste are very different from those of ordinary glutinous rice cake. This is because not only red-red beans in dunsil's meal, but also dark green gray beans are used to make red bean paste. Boil red beans usually twice a day.

Dungsil is not only glutinous rice cake but also donuts. Unlike regular donuts, it has a chewy texture. It is chewy like glutinous rice cake. In Dungsil, ferment the dough with rice wine and rice water instead of yeast. Donuts are sold hot as soon as they are fried. There are two kinds of donuts. Dongle adzuki bean donuts with red beans inside, and dungling donuts without beef. On weekends, you can only taste Dungling Donuts. In response to a customer question, "What's in this?" Dangling donuts are chewy and sweet even if nothing is in them.

Donuts are best eaten when they're fresh, and glutinous rice cakes can be left at room temperature for a day or two. If you leave the glutinous rice cake for a long time, you can store it in the freezer.

There are many healthy snacks in Jecheon. First, let's go to Jecheon station square heart market in front of Jecheon station. If you go to the 'Taechang Tteok Mill' located in Hanmaeum Market, you can taste the acorn Wangsongpyeon. Its size is almost the size of an adult fist, and its name is Wang Peng.

The rice cake kneaded with acorn powder is filled with beef powder and nuts. Chewy taste and chewy taste go well together. It's also big and it's full of cows. It's light and sweet, so everyone loves it.

In the Hanmaeum Market, the high-speed rice cake mill sells yokan made with mulberry leaves, longan meat, and donkeys. The smell of herbs is not strong, sweet children eat well. Try one by color or one by one.

As a breakdown of herbs, the jeonjuburi using herbs was also noticeable. In Hanmaeum Market, you can taste herbal donuts in addition to yokan containing herbs. Medicinal donuts are made by kneading flour and mixing Angelica powder with Jecheon-san Astragalus and Jujube. Use canola oil for frying donuts. Blow freshly fried donuts and bite a bite.
