Yeonpotang is a variety of guk (Korean soup) which has a clear broth usually made with small octopus and vegetables such as daikon and napa cabbage. It is a local specialty of South Jeolla Province. The broth is made by boiling kombu in water. After boiling the kombu 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.
