Etymology and history

Sinseollo is the proper name for the cooking vessel in which this dish is served, which has come to mean the actual dish as well.{{in lang|ko}} [http://100.nate.com/dicsearch/pentry.html?s=B&i=171270&v=42 Sinseollo] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110610003707/http://100.nate.com/dicsearch/pentry.html?s=B&i=171270&v=42 |date=2011-06-10 }} at Britannica Korea Sinseollo is a composite word of sinseon ({{Korean|hangul=신선|hanja=神仙|labels=no}}), "Taoist immortal spirit" and ro ({{Korean|hangul=로|hanja=爐|labels=no}}), brazier. Jeong Hee-ryang ({{Korean|hangul=정희량|labels=no}}), a scholar in the court of Joseon Dynasty's King Yeonsan, turned to a hermit-like life in the mountains after being exiled and disillusioned from politics. He made a small brazier to cook his meals, a portable cooking vessel that would cook various vegetables in a single pot.{{Cite web |last=Hwang |first=Hye-seong |title=열구자탕(悅口子湯) Yeolgujatang |url=https://encykorea.aks.ac.kr/Article/E0037034 |access-date=6 November 2023 |website=Encyclopedia of Korean Culture |language=ko}} He disappeared in the mountains and legend says he became a sinseon, so the cooking vessel was named "brazier for a sinseon".{{Cite web|url=http://www.mcst.go.kr/web/s_culture/story/storyTellingView.jsp?pSeq=128|title=Culture Story - Sinseollo|website=Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism|language=ko|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180505204752/http://www.mcst.go.kr/web/s_culture/story/storyTellingView.jsp?pSeq=128|archive-date=2018-05-05|url-status=dead|access-date=2018-05-05}}

Sinseollo is also called yeolguja tang, which literally means "a tang (soup) that makes a mouth happy".[http://english.tour2korea.com/05food/LocalFood/su_14.asp?kosm=m5_3&konum=2 Information and recipe of sinseollo] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011141103/http://english.tour2korea.com/05food/LocalFood/su_14.asp?kosm=m5_3&konum=2 |date=2007-10-11 }} Korea Tourism Organization

Preparation and serving

File:Korean royal court cuisine-Sinseollo-Casserole-01.jpg

Although the origin of the dish was based on vegetables, meat and fish were added in later years. Up to 25 ingredients may be used in making the dish, such as beef, pork, chicken, pheasant, fish, abalone, sea cucumbers, and various vegetables. Boiled beef and sliced mu are placed in the dish with seasoned beef and the seafood. Mushrooms, carrots and other vegetables are placed next, with meatballs, walnuts, pine nuts, ginkgo nuts, and finely shredded red pepper used as garnish to create a colorful balance. Soup stock is poured over and then the dish is cooked with charcoal in the burner.
