Description
Korean soup architecture — encompassing guk (broth soups), tang (rich stews), and jjigae (thick stews) — builds on a consistent foundation principle: the broth establishes the foundation umami, then a primary protein, then seasoning paste (doenjang or gochujang), then vegetables in sequence from densest to most delicate. The Korean soup palette prioritises a specific type of savoury depth produced by the combination of dried anchovy glutamates, fermented paste amino acids, and sesame oil volatiles.
