Gamjagol / Gam Ja Gol / Gamja-gol

Gamjatang (Gam Ja Tang) is not only a comforting meal but also a budget-friendly option due to the low cost of pork neck bones. It is particularly popular during colder months as it provides warmth and nourishment. The dish has its roots in Jeolla Province of Korea and has become a staple in Korean cuisine.

Many people assume that “gamja” refers to potatoes but that is not the case. The Korean word “gamja” also refers to part of the pork spine. In fact, originally the dish did not contain potatoes, but cooks felt obliged to add potatoes because people kept assuming the name means “potato soup.”
