The pork gomtang set (₩17,000) came with clear bone broth in a brass bowl and cabbage-leaf-wrapped dumplings, and a good shake of pepper brought out all the savory depth of the mild broth.

The broth is notably clear and transparent, with zero oiliness. ![Transparent bone broth of the pork gomtang, free of oil](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekok-dongtan-clear-pork-gomtang-lunch/baekok-dongtan-clear-pork-gomtang-lunch-07-jzjd1-900.webp) ![Domestic pork foreleg meat in the pork gomtang](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekok-dongtan-clear-pork-gomtang-lunch/baekok-dongtan-clear-pork-gomtang-lunch-08-qp89y-900.webp) One spoonful and there's no gamey smell at all — just a nutty, deep flavor that spreads through your whole mouth. ![Pork gomtang served in a brass bowl topped with scallions](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekok-dongtan-clear-pork-gomtang-lunch/baekok-dongtan-clear-pork-gomtang-lunch-09-h27j6-900.webp) *Pork gomtang (₩12,000)* It's served neatly in an upscale brass bowl, topped generously with chopped scallions, so it looks mouthwatering before you even take a bite. ### Pepper it up — a tip you shouldn't forget Here's the absolute must-not-forget tip for enjoying this dish: shake on plenty of the pepper sitting on the table and the flavor doubles. The sharp pepper aroma pairs perfectly with the mild broth, pulling up the savory depth of the soup even more. ![Pork gomtang broth with pepper sprinkled on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekok-dongtan-clear-pork-gomtang-lunch/baekok-dongtan-clear-pork-gomtang-lunch-10-179c6-900.webp) ![A spoonful of meat and broth lifted from the pork gomtang](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekok-dongtan-clear-pork-gomtang-lunch/baekok-dongtan-clear-pork-gomtang-lunch-11-ni6t6-900.webp) ### Cabbage dumplings wrapped in cabbage leaves The cabbage dumplings (baechu mandu) included in the set are also a really unique treat. Instead of a regular dumpling wrapper, they use an actual cabbage leaf to gently wrap the mild filling. ![Baekok's cabbage dumpling with filling wrapped in a cabbage leaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekok-dongtan-clear-pork-gomtang-lunch/baekok-dongtan-clear-pork-gomtang-lunch-12-1tyfb-900.webp) ![A cabbage dumpling cut in half showing the filling](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekok-dongtan-clear-pork-gomtang-lunch/baekok-dongtan-clear-pork-gomtang-lunch-13-1a99v-900.webp) Every bite has a crisp yet soft texture with savory juices seeping out, and it pairs beautifully with the gomtang. ## Overall verdict and would I go back When you're tired of overly seasoned food, there's nothing better than a clean, mild bowl of soup to warm you up from the inside. ![Finished table after eating the pork gomtang set](https://img.superchart.com/images/baekok-dongtan-clear-pork-gomtang-lunch/baekok-dongtan-clear-pork-gomtang-lunch-14-15zwa-900.webp) Highly recommend it when you want a hearty lunch before or after shopping at the department store.
