9,900 Won

Wow, 5kg for 9,900 won is a great deal! It must taste even better since your son brought the ingredients himself. Hope your gamjatang turns out delicious with plenty of care after draining the blood and simmering it well!

When preparing pork spine, it's crucial to remove the blood. Soak the spine in cold water for about 3-4 hours to completely drain the blood, which prevents the broth from becoming cloudy and eliminates any gamey smell! Soaking it in sugar water for about 30 minutes can also tenderize the meat and speed up blood removal. Aim for a sugar concentration of about 2-3% of the water.

You can also search on Naver and refer to the recipes for help. I hope you make it deliciously.

Soak the meat and add a spoonful of sugar to tenderize it (1 hour). ㅡ Blanch in boiling water for 5-10 minutes. ㅡ Remove and rinse under cold running water to remove impurities. ㅡ Add meat, cover with water, then add soybean paste, whole peppercorns (ground is okay), soju, and a few bay leaves if you have them. Simmer for about 30 minutes. ㅡ Season shredded cabbage or blanched napa cabbage with soybean paste, chili powder, soy sauce for soup, minced garlic, ginger, and pepper. ㅡ Add the seasoned cabbage to the pot of simmering broth, along with potatoes, chili peppers, and green onions. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 20-30 minutes, adding perilla powder in the middle. ㅡ Add perilla leaves at the very end before serving and simmer once more. ㅡ Adjust seasoning with salt if needed~ You can add more seasoning according to the meat quantity and your taste. Enjoy your gamjatang! It must be tough in this heat. If you have a family of 4, 2kg should be enough for one meal. 😋😋
