How to Make Delicious Squid and Radish Soup: A Cool and Spicy Dinner Delight
Let’s make a deliciously spicy and refreshing squid and radish soup. It’s perfect for a cool evening meal.
Main Ingredients- 2 squid, cleaned and cut
- 1/4 Korean radish (about 200g), thinly sliced
- 600ml broth (anchovy-kelp broth or rice water)
- 1/2 green onion, chopped
- Pinch of salt (for seasoning)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to make a wonderfully refreshing and spicy squid and radish soup, perfect for warming up on a chilly day. It uses simple ingredients and tastes fantastic, making it a crowd-pleaser for all ages.
Step 2
First, clean the squid by removing the innards and quill, then cut the body into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the Korean radish (mu) into rounds or julienne it. Slicing the radish thinly helps it absorb the flavors of the broth, making the soup even more delicious.
Step 3
In a pot, add the 600ml of prepared broth and the sliced radish. Now, add 1 teaspoon of soy sauce for soup, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, 2 teaspoons of red pepper flakes, and optionally, 1 teaspoon of gochujang. Gochujang adds a nice depth of flavor, but you can omit it if you prefer a purely spicy taste. Add all the seasonings and bring to a boil over high heat.
Step 4
Once the soup comes to a rolling boil, taste it and add a pinch of salt if it needs more seasoning. After adjusting the taste, add the prepared squid and cook until done. The squid is cooked when it turns opaque white. Then, add the chopped green onions, let it simmer for another minute, and turn off the heat immediately. Be careful not to overcook the squid, as it can become tough!
Step 5
And there you have it – a delicious squid and radish soup is ready! The refreshing taste of the radish, the chewy texture of the squid, and the spicy broth come together perfectly, making it an excellent soup dish that’s perfect for finishing off a bowl of rice.
