Food & Festivals
‘Daegwallyeong’ is a keyword when talking about the foods and festivals
of Pyeongchang. Some of the main ingredients used in the local food of
Pyeongchang are the Hwangtae (Pollack) dried in the snows of
Daegwallyeong and the Hanu cattle and buckwheat produced in the
highlands. Many festivals are also food-related with the Trout Festival
(centered around the fresh fish of the pristine mountain streams) being
one of the region’s top festivals.
Hwangtaegui (grilled Pollack) and Hwangtaeguk (Pollack soup) Hwangtae is Pollack that is dried in the snows of Daegwallyeong throughout the winter season. A high-protein, low-fat natural food, Hwangtae is used in various dishes like grilled Pollack, Pollack soup, and steamed Pollack. |
Daegwallyeong Hanu Beef Hanu beef from the Daegwallyeong region is a top-grade meat of superb quality and taste. Many say that the tenderness of the beef is thanks mostly to the clean environment in which the cattle are raised. Though a little pricey, the beef is very popular among gourmets. |
Memil Makguksu (buckwheat noodles) and Memil Jeon (pan-fried buckwheat) Memil, or buckwheat, is one of the regional products of Pyeongchang. Buckwheat grains are ground to make noodles (memil makguksu) or combined with wild vegetables and/or kimchi to make jeon (Korean pancake). Buckwheat is known to clean the blood and help with digestion and is especially popular among women due to its beneficial effects on the skin. |
