Korean soup is a broad category of dishes served with rice at meals. Guk are lighter soups, tang are long-simmered soups, and jjigae are thicker, bolder stews.

What is the difference between guk, tang, and jjigae?

Guk is a brothy soup such as miyeok-guk, tang is a rich, often bone-based soup such as galbitang or gamjatang, and jjigae is a saltier, thicker stew such as kimchi jjigae.

What are popular Korean soups?

Well-known soups include miyeok-guk (seaweed), samgyetang (whole chicken with ginseng), gamjatang (pork bone), seolleongtang (ox bone), kimchi jjigae, sundubu jjigae, and budae jjigae.

How do I cook packaged Korean soup?

Follow the package: most ready-to-heat soups are warmed in a pot or microwave, and kits are simmered with added tofu, vegetables, or eggs. Serve with steamed rice.

Miyeok-guk is a Korean seaweed soup made with wakame, beef or seafood, and soup soy sauce. It is traditionally eaten on birthdays.

What is the difference between samgyetang and gamjatang?

Samgyetang is a whole young chicken stuffed with rice and simmered with ginseng, while gamjatang is a spicy pork bone soup with potatoes and perilla seeds.

How do I make Korean soup spicier or milder?

Add gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) or gochujang for more heat. For less heat, choose a mild or seaweed soup, or a House Foods tofu soup kit in a lower heat level.

spyeon
It tastes even better if you add potatoes and beef bone broth.
skyloveny
I bought it because of the good reviews, but I'm so disappointed because it's too salty, has a strong fishy smell, and the ingredients are poor. This is the worst product I've ever purchased. It's not cheap, so I'm writing this because I'm so upset.
