LOS ANGELES | Jinsol Gukbap is a restaurant in Los Angeles’ Koreatown that specialises in gukbap – a clear pork-broth soup that originates from Busan, South Korea’s second largest city. When I walked inside the simple space I was greeted with a venue full of Koreans with very little English being spoken or on the menu. I knew that I was in for a good feed.
I chose the signature dwaeji gukbap, a pork based milk white soup served boiling hot with a big scoop of gochujang (spicy chilli paste) at the bottom. You can choose from a variety of pork options as your meat, from thinly sliced pork belly to tender slow cooked tripe and offal. I went for the tripe and offal, and its was so tender and flavoursome. To add to it you’re given a side of saeujeot (fermented shrimp), crushed sesame seeds, a bowl of rice and small bowl of (milmyeon) flour noodles. And of course a whole lot of banchan.
Season to your heart’s desire and dig in.
