About Korean pork soup

Korean Pork Soup, known as "Dwaeji Gukbap," is a hearty, comforting dish from Korea’s southern regions, especially Busan. This traditional soup features tender pork, simmered in a rich, savory broth made from bone marrow and stock, giving it a creamy yet light texture. Its toppings often include fresh scallions, fermented shrimp paste for added depth, and thinly sliced radishes, with rice typically served within the soup for a balanced, filling meal. Full of protein from the pork and nutrients like collagen from the bone broth, it offers benefits for skin and joint health. However, the sodium levels can be high due to the seasonings and shrimp paste, so it's best enjoyed in moderation. Perfect for cold days or as a pick-me-up, Dwaeji Gukbap reflects the warm hospitality and bold flavors of Korean cuisine.
