Kalguksu is a traditional Korean noodle soup known for its hand-cut noodles and rich, savory broth.

This comforting dish has been a staple in Korean cuisine for centuries, often enjoyed during the colder months for its warmth and heartiness.

To make Kalguksu, start by preparing the ingredients: chop the vegetables and cook the chicken. Simmer the chicken with garlic, ginger, and soy sauce to create a flavorful broth. Cook the hand-cut noodles until tender, then combine them with the broth and vegetables. Cook until everything is well combined and serve hot.

You can customize Kalguksu by adding different vegetables or proteins, such as beef or seafood, to suit your taste. Some people also like to add a bit of chili paste for a spicy kick.

In Korea, Kalguksu is typically served as a main dish, often accompanied by side dishes like kimchi and pickled radish. It's a popular choice for family meals and gatherings.

While Kalguksu is a delicious and satisfying meal, it's important to be mindful of its sodium content, especially if you're watching your salt intake. The dish is also rich in protein and can be a good source of vitamins and minerals from the vegetables.
