Cooking tips

  • If you add the backbones from the start and keep stirring, the meat will fall off the bones and break apart. It's better to add them after the broth and vegetables have melded together and simmer lightly for a clean result.
  • When boiling the kalguksu noodles, add enough salt to the water so the noodles become seasoned themselves, creating a perfect balance with the broth instead of tasting separate.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to perfectly recreate a deep, savory, and spicy broth dish at home that rivals restaurant quality.
  • Those looking for a hearty, restorative one-bowl meal or a perfect hangover cure and snack dish.
