Yeonpotang is a variety of guk (Korean soup) which has a clear broth usually made with small octopus and vegetables such as radish and napa cabbage. It is a local specialty of South Jeolla Province. The broth is made by boiling kelp in water. After boiling, the kelp is taken out and a whole octopus is inserted into the broth. Once the octopus is cooked, it is removed from the pot and cut into bite-sized pieces. The broth is seasoned with salt, minced garlic, sliced scallions, sesame oil, and sesame seeds, and is boiled together with the slices of octopus.
