Cooking tips

  • Avoid slicing the potato too thickly, as this will prolong cooking time. Slice it evenly and moderately thick for quick cooking.
  • The combination of perilla seed powder and sesame leaves is essential to achieving the authentic gaejangguk aroma—both ingredients are highly recommended.
  • Using fresh kimchi gives the dish a more aged, fermented flavor. You can also substitute with blanched cabbage or enoki mushrooms if preferred.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy homemade gaejangguk quickly without the hassle of simmering bones.
  • People looking for a rich, spicy soup made with thick-cut pork belly.
  • Ideal meal or snack option for camping trips or outdoor gatherings—simple yet satisfying.
