Ilmi Pork Gukbap 일미돼지국밥

A bowl of mixed gukbap (pork and rice soup) holds pork head meat, house-made sundae sausage and chewy offal together, each with its own texture. The broth runs clear rather than cloudy or greasy, without a strong porky smell, and scallions and garlic chives freshen it. A few spoonfuls plain, then dadegi chili paste or salted shrimp to taste, is the natural order. Sundae gukbap leans on the sausage and naejang gukbap on the offal, while suyuk baekban brings boiled pork on a separate plate from the soup, to eat first with salted shrimp and chives.
