Half-day cauldron broth
Slow simmering helps the savoury pork bone character and seasoning come together naturally in a deep broth.
A rich broth simmered for half a day in a far-infrared cauldron, with pork backbone, dried radish greens, potato and nutty perilla. Prepare a comforting Korean meal in one pot, even on a busy day.
Great gamjatang is not only about adding more ingredients. It is about allowing the ingredients enough time to meet and develop inside the broth.

The centre of Simcook Gamjatang is a broth slowly simmered for half a day in a far-infrared cauldron. Instead of forcing flavour with intense heat, the pork bone and seasoning are given time to spread gently through the soup. It is similar to tea: a patient infusion reveals more layers of aroma than a rushed one.
The paradox is useful: the slowest part of the cooking process creates one of the fastest ways to serve dinner. Simcook completes the time-consuming foundation, while you place the ingredients in a pot and cook until the potatoes are tender. It suits cold evenings, a warming soup meal, family dinners and small gatherings.
A clear guide to flavour, ingredients, cooking and serving for people of every age, including first-time gamjatang customers.
Slow simmering helps the savoury pork bone character and seasoning come together naturally in a deep broth.
Long cooking softens the meat around the bone and helps it pair naturally with the soup. Enjoy lean meat and broth together.
Dried radish greens add texture and a rustic taste, while perilla leaves and seeds bring a distinctly Korean aroma.
Perilla seed powder, soybean paste and chilli create a rounded flavour rather than a single sharp note.
Potatoes soften the chilli warmth and add carbohydrate and potassium, making the bowl feel more complete.
The official guide is simple: place all ingredients in a pot, boil, and turn off the heat when the potatoes are fully cooked.
Serve the soup and meat with rice, then use the remaining seasoned broth for fried rice with seaweed flakes.
Warm, full-flavoured broth is especially enjoyable on a chilly day or whenever you want a robust Korean soup.
A pot at the centre of the table works well for family dinners, guests and small gatherings.

Time is not only a measurement. In soup, it acts like an ingredient that builds layers. This comparison explains general cooking principles and the half-day method supplied for Simcook.
Gamjatang can bring protein ingredients, vegetables and potato into one pot. Actual nutrition varies by product composition, portion and preparation.
Pork backbone contributes protein, potato provides carbohydrate and potassium, while greens and perilla add fibre and vitamins. It is best understood as a varied meal, not as a food that diagnoses, prevents or treats a medical condition.
Key points compiled from the official product page and the product description supplied by the user.
The long broth work is already done. At home, the main task is to cook until the potatoes are tender and everything is thoroughly heated.
The product is described as containing cooked gamjatang bones, seasoned pork bone soup, perilla seed powder, dried radish greens and potatoes. Check refrigeration and use-by information before opening, then heat thoroughly before serving.
Place the packaged soup, pork bones, vegetables and potatoes into a suitably sized pot. Check the product directions before adjusting the broth.
Bring to a boil and cook until a chopstick enters the potato easily. Confirm the meat and broth are piping hot before turning off the heat.
Add sliced spring onion, perilla leaves or extra perilla seed powder. Serve with rice and make fried rice from the remaining seasoned broth.
