Honestly, I didn't even know this until I started researching the origin of gamjatang for this post. Combine garlic, hot pepper flakes, hot pepper paste, fish sauce, perilla seeds powder, ground black pepper, and ¼ cup water in a bowl.
Instructions to make Gamja Tang (Hot & Spicy Korean Potato & Pork Stew):
- Place all ingredients except potatoes and carrots into a large pot, cover, and bring to a gentle boil for about two minutes over medium high heat. When the stew comes to a boil, give everything a good stir to evenly distribute and incorporate all the ingredients.
- Turn the heat down to medium low, cover again, and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Add the potatoes and carrots, cover again, and simmer for another 20 minutes.
- Give the stew another stir or two, put the lid back on askew, and continue to simmer for another 10 to 15 minutes over medium low heat. Give it a taste and adjust the salt level with salt if necessary, and that's it!
- Serve in individual bowls or family style (as is typical for most casual Korean family meals), sprinkle with perilla and/or green onion, and enjoy with a bowl of steamed rice. If you want to save yourself some dishes, you can combine the stew and rice in one bowl, which is a totally Korean thing to do.
- Enjoy!
