''Mae-un tang'' is a hot spicy Korean cuisine fish soup boiled with ''gochujang'' (Korean red chili pepper paste), ''kochukaru'' (chili powder), and various vegetables.〔(매운탕 ) Nate/ Encyclopedia of Korean Culture (in Korean)〕 The name is a combination of two words: ''maeun'', which derives from ''maepda'' (맵다), meaning "hot and spicy"; and ''tang'', meaning "soup". As its main ingredient, fresh or saltwater fish is cut into several pieces and boiled with ground beef, green vegetables such as watercress and garland chrysanthemum. Onion, radish, chilis, crown daisy, garlic, and sometimes zucchini and bean curd are added to the mixture to absorb the chili pepper paste which is the main flavoring of this dish. It is then seasoned with chili powder, garlic, soy sauce, and additional ''gochujang'' may be added once more to taste. Restaurants that offer this dish often allow customers to select their fish from an aquarium. Many specialty seafood restaurants have several aquariums from which to choose. Popular fish for this dish may include red snapper, sea bass, yellow corvina, codfish, croaker, pollock, and even freshwater fish like carp and trout. In addition, other shellfish such as crabs, clams, and oysters can be also added to this soup to complement and enhance its spicy yet refreshing flavors. This soup is one of Korea's most popular dishes while drinking ''soju''. If ordered with ''hoe'' at a restaurant, the soup is often then made from the leftover parts of the fish. ==See also== *List of Korea-related topics *List of soups * List of seafood dishes * List of fish dishes *Korean cuisine * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maeuntang」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
