Haemul-tang(해물탕)

Seafood stew, or Haemul-tang (해물탕), is a traditional Korean dish renowned for its rich, flavorful broth made primarily from an assortment of fresh seafood such as clams, squid, shrimp, and abalone. This dish captivates the palate with its harmonious blend of various marine flavors.

 

 

 

Seafood stew enjoys widespread popularity for several reasons. Firstly, it offers a diverse array of seafood, providing both exquisite taste and nutritional benefits. The freshness of the seafood combined with the tender texture creates a delightful dining experience. Moreover, the robust and savory broth tantalizes the taste buds, offering a depth of flavor that evolves with each spoonful. Additionally, given its association with Korea's coastal regions, seafood stew particularly appeals to seafood enthusiasts, drawing admiration for its connection to the sea.

 

 

 

Preparing seafood stew is relatively straightforward, yet it requires careful selection of ingredients to achieve its distinct taste. Begin by thoroughly washing the seafood before simmering it in a large pot filled with water and various seasonings. Cooking the seafood over low heat allows its flavors to infuse into the broth. Finally, adjust the seasoning and garnish with assorted vegetables or herbs to enhance the dish's aroma and taste. Seafood stew is perfect for special gatherings or as a comforting meal on chilly days.
