Histoire et Signification du Gamjatang
Le gamjatang est une soupe coréenne copieuse aux os de porc qui a mijoté pendant des heures jusqu'à ce que la viande se détache de l'os. Fait intéressant, le nom "gamja" ne fait peut-être pas référence aux pommes de terre - il existe une théorie selon laquelle il viendrait d'un ancien mot coréen désignant la viande autour des os de la colonne vertébrale du porc.
Le Roi des Soupes Anti-Gueule de Bois
Le gamjatang est particulièrement populaire comme remède contre la gueule de bois après une nuit de boisson. Le bouillon riche et la viande tendre apaisent l'estomac, tandis que les feuilles de radis et la poudre de périlla ajoutent de la nutrition.
Variations Régionales
Dans la province de Jeolla, on l'appelle parfois "ppyeodagwi haejangguk" (soupe d'os anti-gueule de bois), et chaque région a des proportions d'assaisonnement légèrement différentes.
Comment le Déguster
Le gamjatang se partage généralement entre plusieurs personnes. Le pot est placé directement sur la table pendant qu'il est fumant, et les convives se servent eux-mêmes. La finition classique est d'ajouter du riz ou des nouilles instantanées au bouillon restant.
