Why This Dish Is Special
One of the Taekdaeri family’s best-loved dishes. Fragrant garlic chives are packed generously into a batter and pan-fried until the edges crisp while the center stays tender and savory. It is the definitive thing to share over a kettle of dongdongju — simple, honest, and hard to stop eating, especially on a rainy day.
