Oritang is a variety of guk, Korean soup or stew made by slowly simmering duck and various vegetables.^[1][2] 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)^[3] or roasted perilla seeds to thicken the dish.^[4] Oritang is a local specialty of Gyeonggi Province and South Jeolla Province,^[2] especially Gwangju City.^[5] In Gwangju, about 20 restaurants specializing in oritang and other duck dishes are centered on Yudong Alley in Buk-gu (Northern District).^[4][6]
