Aha Bujang's Pork Bone Hangover Soup

An innovative gamjatang recipe that boldly skips soaking and parboiling pork spine, instead simmering it all at once with seasonings for deep flavor.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The key to this recipe is not discarding the initial water but simmering the bones with the seasonings from the start, allowing the flavor to penetrate deep into the meat.
  • If using siraegi (dried radish greens), the simmering time varies, so be sure to simmer it until completely tender and add it only at the end to avoid spoiling the broth's flavor.
  • Do not skim off all the rendered fat from the broth; leaving some gives the soup a rich, weighty umami rather than a thin taste.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to easily make pork bone hangover soup without tedious meat preparation.
  • Those who love gamjatang with deep, rich seasoning that penetrates into the meat.
