    Gamjatang (κ°μžνƒ•) is a spicy, hearty stew made with pork bones. Gamja (감자) is a Korean word that's more commonly used for potato, but for this dish, gamja actually refers to a part of the pork spine. Honestly, I didn't even know this until I started researching the origin of gamjatang for this post. Gamja tang (pronounced GAHMjah TAHNG, gamja = potato, tang = stew/soup) is a thick, hearty, spicy Korean stoup usually made with pork neck bones and lots of potatoes then sprinkled with julienned fresh green perilla.


    Instructions

    Steps to make Gamja Tang (Hot & Spicy Korean Potato & Pork Stew):

    1. Place all ingredients except potatoes and carrots into a large pot, cover, and bring to a gentle boil for about two minutes over medium high heat. When the stew comes to a boil, give everything a good stir to evenly distribute and incorporate all the ingredients.
    2. Turn the heat down to medium low, cover again, and simmer for 20 minutes.
    3. Add the potatoes and carrots, cover again, and simmer for another 20 minutes.
    4. Give the stew another stir or two, put the lid back on askew, and continue to simmer for another 10 to 15 minutes over medium low heat. Give it a taste and adjust the salt level with salt if necessary, and that's it!
    5. Serve in individual bowls or family style (as is typical for most casual Korean family meals), sprinkle with perilla and/or green onion, and enjoy with a bowl of steamed rice. If you want to save yourself some dishes, you can combine the stew and rice in one bowl, which is a totally Korean thing to do.
    6. Enjoy!

    Combine garlic, hot pepper flakes, hot pepper paste, fish sauce, perilla seeds powder, ground black pepper, and ΒΌ cup water in a bowl. Gamja means potato, and this soup includes lots of potatoes in the soup. But the name of the soup, Gamjatang doesn't represent actual potato. Gamjas's another meaning in old Korean is bone marrow. Because the pork neck bone has lots of bone marrow, it called Gamjatang.
