Korean Food Shabu Kalguksu

My overview of Korean food continues and our target today is shabu kalguksu or chopped noodles. Shabu kalguksu is a very popular dish in Korea. Some people think it is a Japanese cuisine according to the name "shabu", which is a Japanese word. Others say it is similar to Mongolian Genghis Khan's meal. Some Koreans also say it is "toryeom" meal originated in Korea. As it often happens, nobody knows the real story for sure, so let's concentrate on the dish itself.
I often go with my friends to Doul Shabu Kalguksu restaurant which is our favorite spot in Daejeon. Usually we order seafood kalguksu. The ingredients of the shabu kalguksu include seafoods, meat, vegetables, mushrooms, noodles and rice with eggs. Furthermore there are many side dishes served at the table.

To eat shabu kalguksu properly you have to follow several steps:
At first put seafoods in the boiling broth. After eating the seafoods the next step is vegetables and mushrooms.
After finishing the vegetables and mushrooms put meat. Then boil chopped noodles.
In the end, when all the broth is gone, there is the final step – fried rice with eggs.
This kind of dish is definitely for people who like talking during the meal, because eating shabu kalguksu is a slow and enjoyable process :D
