국, 탕, 찌개, glorious soup!! - 탕 / tang

tang, not to to be confused with the Tang dynasty, is usually made with fish. It's most common incarnation is as 매운탕me-un-tang, a mixture of fish bones and heads from the hoe/(pronounced hw-eh) making process. It's sometimes free or costs just a little extra. It's name means spicy soup, so you have been warned. Also it can be a little awkward to eat because of all the fish bones. You've been warned a second time!
Like guk, tang is quite watery, but it contains many different ingredients, including moo / a massive mild radish and different kinds of spring-onions.
