Dwaeji gukbap
Korean rice soup category / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dwaeji gukbap (Korean: 돼지국밥) is a South Korean soup especially popular in Busan made with pork, soy sauce, miso, rice wine, sesame oil, and bone broth.[1][2][3] The name literally translates to "pork, soup, rice".[4] It is served with various side dishes like rice, salted shrimp, onion, noodle, kimchi, garlic, and green peppers, which all can be added to the soup.[1][3][4] It originated during the Korean War in the 1950s as poverty food.[1][4] It eventually grew in popularity.[1][4] The dish spread from Busan to the rest of the Gyeongsang province and eventually the rest of the country.[4][5] However, the dish is not well-recognized outside of Korea.[2] Busan has a street named after the dish, where there are dozens of restaurants that serve dwaeji gukbap.[4][5] These days it is often eaten while drinking liquor.[1] It is also thought to be beneficial for women recovering from childbirth.[1] The soup is enjoyed all year round (but particularly in winter) and at any time of the day.[4][6] Many establishments that serve the dish are open from morning to night, with some even open 24 hours.[4]
