About this dish

The name literally translates to "pork, soup, rice". It is served with various side dishes like rice, salted shrimp, onion, noodle, kimchi, garlic, and green peppers, which all can be added to the soup. It originated during the Korean War in the 1950s as poverty food. It eventually grew in popularity. The dish spread from Busan to the rest of the Gyeongsang province and eventually the rest of the country. However, the dish is not well-recognized outside of Korea. Busan has a street named after the dish, where there are dozens of restaurants that serve dwaeji-gukbap. These days it is often eaten while drinking liquor. It is also thought to be beneficial for women recovering from childbirth. The soup is enjoyed all year round and at any time of the day. Many establishments that serve the dish are open from morning to night, with some even open 24 hours.
