Korean Food: 영양갈비탕 (Nutritious Rib Soup)


Yeong Yang Galbi Tang translates into nutritious rib soup.

영양=yeong yang=nutritious
갈비=Galbi=rib
탕=tang=soup

Galbi tang is a soup made with short ribs. You can eat the rib off of the bone. Medicinal ingredients such as ginseng, jujube and pine nuts are added to this version (yeong yang) of galbi tang. (I'm not sure what was added into my soup though..I do see a jujube in there.) You can dip the meat into a sauce. Koreans also pour their rice into the soup.

Ribs are one of most expensive cuts of meat in Korea.



This costed 10,000 won at a family restaurant in Seoul.

The soup was very delicious!
