Instructions
- Rinse the pork bones thoroughly under cold water to remove any impurities. Then, place them in a large pot and fill it with enough water to cover the bones. Bring the water to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Drain the bones and rinse well again.
- In the same pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, minced garlic, and ginger. Sauté until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.
- Add the pork bones back into the pot, along with gochugaru, gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar. Stir well to coat the bones and spices evenly.
- Pour in the water, cover the pot, and simmer over low heat for about 2 hours, or until the pork bones become tender and the flavors meld together.
- Once the bones are tender, add the potatoes, cabbage, and Korean radish to the pot. Stir gently to combine. Continue simmering for another 20-30 minutes until the vegetables are cooked through and the soup has thickened slightly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Serve the gamjatang hot, garnished with chopped green onions. You can enjoy it as is or serve it with a side of steamed rice for a hearty meal.
