Gomtang is a traditional Korean soup and the name refers to the "extensive boiling" of bone marrow, brisket and beef bone to create a hearty and tasty dish. It's best eaten with radish kimchi (kaktugi), and rice can be included in the soup or served separately.

Ingredients

1 kg bone marrow*
1 kg beef bone feet *
800g brisket (brisket is a cut of meat from the breast or lower chest of beef)*
Chopped green onions, to garnish

*Ask your butcher for each individual item

Preparation

Place the bone marrow, beef bone feet and brisket in a large pot. Cover with cold water and set aside for 5 hours. (This ensures all excess blood is extracted out of the bone and meat.) Drain. Set aside the marrow, feet and brisket until required.

Heat 6 litres of cold water in a large pot over high heat. Bring to the boil. Add the marrow, feet and brisket and cook for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold running water.

Return the bone marrow to the pot. Top with the beef bone feet. Cover with water and bring to the boil. Cook for a further 10-15 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and cook for a further 5 hours.

Dry the brisket. Bring water to the boil. Add the brisket and cook for a further 2 hours.

Cut the brisket into pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Top with green onion to serve.

Gomtang meets Kimchi
When my parents wanted me to go to some beef soup place for dinner, I wasn't sure if i would like the taste. Turns out that it was more tastier than I thought. With a bit of Kimchi and bit of sea salt it was pretty good.

How to judge the heat of a chilli

Generally the smaller the chilli the hotter the heat. By removing seeds and flesh this you will decrease the heat of the chilli. Wash your hands thoroughly after coming in contact with chilli, as the capsicin (the oil within the chilli) burns when it comes in contact with your eyes or sensitive skin.
