Ingredients- 3 eggs
- 30g chives (about half a handful)
- 1/4 to 1/2 onion (use 1/2 if small, 1/4 if large)
- 5 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)
- 450ml anchovy-kelp broth
- 450ml water
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce for soup
- 1.5 Tbsp anchovy sauce
- Pinch of black pepper
- Pinch of salt
- 3 drops sesame oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
1. Crack 3 eggs into a bowl. Add 3 drops of sesame oil and a tiny pinch of salt (about the size of a grain of rice) to help eliminate any eggy smell. Whisk well until smooth. *** Tip: Adding a small amount of sesame oil to eggs helps mask their odor.
Step 2
2. Slice the onion thinly. (I used half an onion because mine were very small; if your onion is large, use only 1/4.) Thinly slice the 5 cloves of garlic. (Tip: Sliced garlic makes the broth cleaner than minced garlic. If you prefer minced garlic, use about 1/2 Tbsp.) Chop the chives into 2-3 cm lengths, totaling about 30g. (If using frozen chives, take them out of the freezer only when you’re ready to add them at the end!)
Step 3
3. In a pot, combine 450ml of anchovy-kelp broth and 450ml of water. Add the sliced garlic, 1.5 Tbsp of anchovy sauce, and 1 Tbsp of soy sauce for soup. *** Tip: You can substitute anchovy sauce with fish sauce (like ‘kanari aekjeot’) or tuna extract.
Step 4
4. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the sliced onion. When it boils again, slowly drizzle the whisked eggs in a circular motion into the pot. Add a pinch of black pepper and the chopped chives. Once the soup returns to a boil, gently stir once. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if needed, according to your preference. (I added about 1/5 Tbsp of salt.) Enjoy your delicious soup!
