Spicy Braised Chicken, a staple in Korean cuisine, is prepared by stewing chicken pieces with a fiery blend of red pepper powder and various seasonings. It’s a dish that complements rice perfectly.

The dish’s flavor is enhanced when paired with seasoned green onions, adding a crisp, spicy kick. Following the main course, the leftover sauce is used to stir-fry rice into the visually appealing and tasty Fried Rice Art, often shaped into a heart, delighting both the palate and the eyes. Nearby, guests can hear the gentle flow of a stream and have access to the valley via stairs, offering a chance to indulge in some light water activities after their meal.
