Cuisine: Korean

Pork-spine stew with potato — late-night pot, perilla if you can find it.

3 Heat: medium-hot Vegetarian: no

Bones first, potato later

Parboil pork bones, rinse, then simmer with garlic and gochugaru until the meat loosens. Add potato so it drinks the broth without dissolving early. Perilla seed powder or leaves are the signature, not optional garnish philosophy. Share one pot; this is not plated fine dining.
