Fusofacts
- Kalbithan is a type of Korean gumguk soup that is made from different parts of the beef (for example, head, bones, etc.), slowly boiling on low heat.- In ancient times, soups for important events or persons were given a name using the end of "Than". For example, the soup "komtkhan" could only be afforded by representatives nobility, since expensive ingredients were used for its preparation. And itself the name of the dish comes from the Korean word meaning "chew".
- There is an opinion among Koreans that a komkhtan will have real taste only if it cook in a cauldron and with lots of meat. In addition, the preparation of such a dish takes a very long time. Therefore, Koreans prefer to order it when they visit restaurants.
- Koreans prefer not to add salt and pepper to kalbithan when cooking, because they use hot onions and garlic, as well as salty soy sauce. Salt and pepper should be added to the kalbithan to taste.
