#043 PALDO Gomtang
These noodles, in it’s fancy gold packaging turned out to be delicious! It’s different from the rest of the instant Korean noodles that I’ve had…which have mostly been red, spicy and seafoody. I had no idea what gomtang meant so I did a little research and found that gom tang is a meat and tripe soup. A variety of beef cuts, beef and ox tail bones are boiled over a long period of time that result in a rich, creamy and flavorful broth. It reminded me of the Japanese tonkotsu broth. To be honest, it’s not something that I would normally order if I saw it on a menu, but after this, I have to try the real thing. When I first opened up the package, there was the normal powdered seasoning packet and also a packet of thin brown sauce. The noodles are not as thick as most other Korean instant noodles, they were actually like “regular” ramen noodles. The addition of the egg was pretty yummy too. Wish I had some green onions but I was out!….shocker!
