But the good study of the day research gentleman still went to obediently look for information, hmm! It turns out that the troop hot pot was not invented by the troops, but it is also inseparable from the troops, and behind this is a story of the times.
The origin of the troop hot pot and Korea's poorer environment at the time has a lot to do with the U.S. Army troops stationed in South Korea at that time because they brought sufficient food reserves, so often do not take the food seriously, so that a lot of canned luncheon meat and other reserves of food waste, as long as the expiration of the shelf life of even one day will be thrown away.
This kind of food waste was unconscionable in Korea, where even eating meat was difficult in the old days, so the leftover and discarded ham and sausages were collected by neighboring Koreans and combined with kimchi, noodles, tofu and other common foods to make a steaming hot pot for the troops.
During that period of poverty, the Korean people used their own wisdom and attitude of not wasting food, combined with their own local flavors to create this Korean cuisine from the "poor" to the "popular". Nowadays, Korean hot pot is not synonymous with poor cuisine, but is a delicious dish that can satisfy all your desires in one pot.
