Siryak-tyamuri


Siryak-tyamuri or sirak-jangmul is a stew in Koryo-saram cuisine that uses fermented soybean paste as the primary flavorant for the broth. It is a descendent of the Korean dish siraegi ''doenjang-guk, and prominently features siraegi, dried radish stems.
The dish is considered a staple for Koryo-saram, leading one journalist to remark that the Korean people can survive on just lettuce,
doenjang, and rice. One Koryo-saram interviewed in Kazakhstan reported that local Kazakhs and Russians called the dish "Korean soup". She also reported that local non-Koreans also enjoyed the soup.
The dish has been used as a metaphor for Koryo-saram identity, and its similarity to
siraegi doenjang-guk has also made it a metaphor for shared culture between Koryo-saram and South Koreans. It is known to be consumed in Koryo-saram enclaves in South Korea, including Ttaetgol Village. It has also been served as ceremonial food in a Koryo-saram doljanchi'' ceremony.
