Waengi Kongnamul Gukbap
왱이콩나물국밥
Local classicGreat for solo diners ⓘ
Jeonju's other great dish is kongnamul-gukbap, a clear bean sprout soup with rice, loved as a breakfast and a hangover cure. Waengi is the big-name shop near the Hanok Village, with a hill of sprouts in every bowl. A soft-poached egg (suran) comes on the side, and sweet moju, a warm herbal rice drink, finishes the meal.
