Introduce Korean Food: GomTang

GomTang(GomKuk) is one of the traditional Korean food and you can have gomtang everywhere.

GomTang is a soup but it is more like beef stock(bone broth) made with some beef parts such as bones, and head.

Although the recipe of GomTang is very simple, it is kind of hard to cook by yourself. Because it takes lots of time.

Let's have time for how to make GomTang.(Simplest one)

1. Put the brisket, ribs, ox tail, and(or) meat into water to remove blood. It takes hours.
2. Boil them for about 10 mins and then drain the water, rinse the bones to remove blood and boiling(simmering) again for about 5 hours.
3. While simmering, remove foam and oil that is from bones.
4. Season with salt and pepper just before eat.

As you can see above, its recipe is very simple but as I mention it take hours, so even Korean people usually do not cook GomTang at home. We go to the restaurant or buy ready-to-eat food from a mart.

And the liquid part of GomTang is very useful to cook Korean soups such as Kimchi soup, Korean miso soup and etc. Its use is like chicken stock's.

And the broth can be frozen and stored so many people do.

GomTang is believed that it is stamina food, however belief is very old-fashioned. In the point of the nutrition, GomTang is quite high calorie food and we eat the Gomtang with cooked rice. The rice makes GomTang higher calorie.
