When I visited the JSA a few weeks ago our tour group was invited to have gomtang made by local people near the North Korean border. We were told that all the farming in the DMZ was without pesticides and that the local people made the meals for tourists with much pride and love. The food was amazing. Hot and flavoursome and beautifully humble like the people who served us. It’s a memory and meal I will never forget. Shivering on low plastic chairs on a beautiful clear day, in a concrete barn eating the soup and side dishes and waving the steam from my breath away so I could see. There were maybe 20 of us. You have a knack Maangchi of making and bringing wonderful food memories for me so thank you so much.
Hi there.. Great letter! I love Korean food and live in Los Angeles so I get to go to Koreatown often. I am trying to find an authentic recipe for Gam Ja Tang. Can anyone help?? Thanks
