Ori-tang

Oritang (오리탕) is a variety of "guk", Korean soup or stew made by slowly simmering duck and various vegetables. "Ori" means "duck" and "tang" is another name for "guk" in Korean. While its recipe depends on region and taste, the soup is generally in a form of a clear soup. Some variants can contain chili pepper powder to make the soup spicy like "maeuntang" (spicy fish soup) or roasted perilla seeds to thicken the dish. "Oritang" is a local specialty of Gyeonggi Province and South Jeolla Province, especially Gwangju City. In Gwangju, about 20 restaurants specializing in "oritang" and other duck dishes are centered on Yudong Alley in Buk-gu (Northern District).
