Taste of Korea - Beef Soup (So-gogi-Gukbap)
Rice soup is the Korean food that you can eat with rice in a hot soup(Gukbap).
In Korea, I really like beef, and the taste of this beef soup is really good.
I've added a little bit of information below.
Gukbap generally refers to the dishes for which cooked rice is mixed with various ingredients for soup. So-gogi-guk is made by thoroughly boiling marinated beef and radish in water for a prolonged period of time till tender. It is recommended that you eat the mixture of the so-gogi-guk and cooked rice with kimchi as a side dish.
