[Haman County, Gyeongnam] Spicy king crab and catfish stew & beef rice stew

[Haman County, Gyeongnam] Spicy king crab and catfish stew & beef rice stew Haman County is not a famous tourist attraction like Tongyeong or Busan, but it's one favorite destination among epicures who can't get enough of its key local dishes.  <Spicy king crab and catfish stew is rich in protein and iron.>  ▶ Relishing spicy king crab and catfish stew along a scenic river As the name itself implies, spicy king crab and catfish stew is literally a bowl of spicy stew mixed with king crab and catfish. In the northern part of Haman where the Nam River and the Haman Stream meet, both marine products are frequently caught.  The dish combines king crab, catfish, soybean paste and dried radish leaves, which ingredients go to show why the food is a popular stamina food.  <Where Nam River and Haman Stream meet, you'll find an abundance of freshwater fishes.> ▶ Haman beef rice soup Haman has long been famed for serving the tastiest rice soups, and beef rice soup served at the "Hanwu Gukbapchon," or the Korean Beef Rice Soup Village, is so popular that it's hard to find parking space during the weekends when people from all over the country swarm in.  Beef rice soup is a bowl of beef, bean sprouts, radish and a cow's leg bone, among others. The soup itself is rich in flavors because it is brewed for as long as half a day.  <Haman's beef rice soup is sincerely cooked for half a day.> Beef rice soup in Haman may look sort of like yukgaejang, or hot spicy meat stew, but many people who have tried a bite of it say it's a lot tastier than yukgaejang served in ordinary restaurants because the meat is multiple times more tender and juicy.  Unlike other menu soup items in Korea that normally mix soup and rice, beef rice soup sometimes come with noodles, or half-rice and half-noodles, depending on the customer's choice. ▶ How to get to Haman County  Four 4-hour bus rides leading to the Haman Inter-City Bus Terminal are provided each day at the Seoul Nambu Bus Terminal.
