Dish type

Korean soup with rice (gukbap)

Soup with the rice already in it, or served alongside for you to add. A quick, filling one-bowl meal. Pork gukbap is a Busan specialty and blood sausage gukbap is a market classic. Both come with salted shrimp and chopped chives, so you season the soup yourself at the table. Bean sprout gukbap is a well-known hangover breakfast, especially in Jeonju. Gukbap shops are casual and inexpensive, many open early in the morning, and you order one bowl per person. If the rice comes on the side, add it to the soup a spoonful at a time.
