◆ [할매 식당] Taste traditional barley rice in a 200-year-old house
At the foot of Moraksan Mountain in Uiwang-si, Gyeonggi-do, there is a restaurant owned by Deuk-rye Deuk-rye (age 82), who married at the tender age of 22 and lives there to this day. My grandmother married into this house, which is currently being used as a restaurant, 60 years ago and lived with her husband, who ran a ranch. Then, one day in 1994, at the suggestion of her husband that she should open a restaurant, she received permission to change the use of the house she lived in and opened a ssambap restaurant. Afterwards, she changed the menu to barley rice and has been operating it ever since 30 years. They say the house my grandmother uses as a restaurant was built about 200 years ago. Perhaps because the house is still the same, the grandmother still remembers her younger self when she was married back in the day. As I reminisce about the past, I am now making barley rice with my daughter.
There are eight types of herbs that go into barley rice. In spring, summer, and fall, they are grown directly in nearby fields and used, but in winter, they mainly use those that were harvested in the fall, dried, and stored. Above all, the grandmother used to cook rice in a cauldron, but these days she cooks it in a 20-year-old gas pressure rice cooker. If you add barley rice cooked in a golden ratio of 50:50 white rice and barley and savory soybean paste stew that is made every day, your appetite will come back in no time. It doesn’t end here. Seafood pancakes made thick and crispy using grandma’s unique method are a delicacy among delicacies! Let’s go together to the restaurant of Deuk-rye Deuk-rye, an 82-year-old woman who still welcomes customers at the entrance and shows her warm hospitality even though she has been running the restaurant for over 30 years.
