GAMJATANG (PORK BONE SOUP) :)
Gamjatang is a spicy Korean pork bone soup. It is made by simmering pork bones for a long time then the strained milky bone broth is seasoned with Korean special condiments such as gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) and gochujang (Korean chili paste).
One interesting fact about gamjatang is its name. Because gamjatang literally translates to “potato soup” (gamja = potato, tang = soup), but the highlight of the soup is actually pork bones.
Even when I ordered gamjatang at a restaurant many years ago, I was expecting to receive a soup full of potatoes, not some chunky bones that looked like they were just cut from a dinosaur! (I remind you, I was young and naive. Lol)
