There are many delicious foods in the lively traditional market, so you can drool in your mouth. In line with the term food paradise, it is a department store of taste, but it retains its old appearance and searches for unique foods unique to traditional markets that fall in love with the mood of the outskirts. It is indeed a food tour.

Warm food that is steaming around the Peace Market and Jayu Market in Beomcheon 1-dong, Busanjin-gu, Busan, Busan, the representative traditional market in Busan, catches the visitors.

Since the establishment of the Seobu Gyeongnam Intercity Bus Terminal, it has been a market frequently visited by merchants in Seoul and Gyeongnam, and one of the most popular foods local merchants have eaten whenever they visit Busan is stir-fried octopus, or “jobang octopus.”

The reason why “Jobang Octopus” was called like a proper noun is because of word of mouth from merchants who came to buy goods from the provinces. It is said that the reputation of “Jobang Octopus” has increased nationwide as it has been passed down by merchants from other regions with picky tastes. Nowadays, restaurant signs called “Jobang Octopus” are easily noticeable in areas such as Seoul and Daegu.

The word “Jobang” stands for the name of “Joseon Textile Company” in the free market in the past, and the food “Jobang Octopus” was also named after this company.

Octopus is low in fat and has a light taste, so various spices are melted. In particular, the abundant taurine component in octopus is said to have a great effect on preventing arteriosclerosis or myocardial infarction by helping the liver detoxify. The spicy stir-fried octopus dish, which you eat while wiping your sweat, attracts your appetite just by thinking about it.

In the “Jobang Octopus” alley, which is gathered near Pyeonghwa Market, four out of 10 restaurants specializing in octopus.You can taste Busan’s authentic stir-fried octopus here.

The original grandmother octopus (634-9618) is crowded with customers who come to eat stir-fried octopus so that there is no room to step on the third floor during lunchtime. Not only the nearby jewelry wholesalers, but also the taste of stir-fried octopus (one potion of 5,000 won) cannot be forgotten, so it is crowded with customers who deliberately visit from afar.

It’s not frozen octopus, but the fresh octopus caught that day with plenty of chopped garlic, green onions, and spices, making my mouth water. Octopus cooked over gas heat for a short period of time immediately absorbs broth and vegetables, making it chewy and spicy.

It’s strange that it contains a lot of garlic and red pepper powder, but it’s not spicy at all, because it doesn’t use “spicy pepper.” Unlike stir-fried octopus in Mugyo-dong, Seoul, it is not spicy and has a stronger taste.

Stir-fried shrimp octopus (7,500 won) with octopus and shrimp combines the broth from seafood with shrimp broth, providing a different taste of shrimp flavor from stir-fried octopus.

Many customers are looking for spicy and spicy stir-fried octopus as a side dish for alcohol, and it is the etiquette of this house to drink moderately and leave their seats quickly. It may be better to drink a drink (1,000 won a bottle) than to endure the nagging of the grandmother who takes away the bottle if you empty a bottle of alcohol.

Stir-fried octopus doesn’t require much side dishes. There are three side dishes for a bowl of rice (1,000 won), including seasoned chives, cabbage kimchi, and sliced radish kimchi, and green onions in a stir-fried pot play a role in helping blood circulation, just like octopus.

If you go a little further into the right alley of the original grandmother’s house, you will see stir-fried octopus (642-1041).

Gopchang Gopchang Octopus Stir-fried Octopus (7,500 won) with chewy Gopchang gopchang on octopus and shrimp is perfect for a side dish with spicy broth from seafood and meat. Octopus and shrimp are soft and light, but Gopchang gopchang is eaten while chewing slowly and savoring the taste.
