Korean Soups (Guk) and Stews (Jjigae) are an essential part of a Korean meal. They can be served almost as a side to a full meal with many side dishes and main or they can be served as a one-pot meal style where you just need rice to complete the meal.
Korean soups and stews range from clear soups like Galbitang and Beef Radish Soup to fully seasoned hearty stews like Kimchi Jjigae Soft Tofu Stew and Hobak Jjigae - always completing the Korean table however they are served.
