This noodle soup may have a shape and style similar to udon. This noodle soup is stewed in malgeun-jangguk. The sauce uses soy sauce added with beef broth. Usually Garak Guksu is served with fried eggs and also eomuk or fish cakes. Try to taste Garak Guksu and get warmth!

For Korean people and their culture, this guksu is one of the special menus in special moments because ancient people associated thin and long noodles with longevity so they often serve this guksu menu on birthdays to wish for long life. and also at weddings to ask for a lasting marriage. The guksu menu that I made is a bit different from the way it was made, and we can also add cooked eggs and beef to complement it. To make the guksu better, prepare the anchovy stock and the spicy kimchi mixture first and then prepare the noodles so that afterwards we can immediately prepare them so that the noodles won't expand when enjoyed.

Because at times like this you can't go to Korea there is still an outbreak of the Covid-19 virus, you can still make this food at home and also learn to cook South Korean food!

Silhak movement in the Joseon Dynasty in South Korea

Since the beginning of the 17th century, a movement that advocated Silhak, or learning about practical matters, gained considerable momentum among liberal-minded scholars as a tool for building a modern nation. They strongly advocate for improvements in agriculture and industry, in line with comprehensive reforms in terms of land distribution. However, the nobles of conservative governments were not ready to make such drastic changes. In the second half of the Joseon Dynasty, the administration of government and the upper classes was marked by factionalism or the formation of groups which appeared repeatedly. To clear up the unwanted political situation, King Yeongjo (1724-1776) finally adopted an impartial policy. Thus he was able to strengthen the authority of the King and create political stability. King Jeongjo (1776-1800) succeeded in maintaining impartial politics and established a royal library to store royal documents and records. Ian also initiated othe
