How to Make Clear Squid and Radish Soup: A Simple Recipe for Babies and Adults!
Introducing a clear and refreshing squid and radish soup recipe that the whole family can enjoy. It’s also perfect as a ‘baby squid soup’ that even young children can eat without any problems. When you simmer it with plenty of squid and fresh radish, it creates a magical soup that will make you want to finish a bowl of rice in no time, thanks to the savory flavor of the squid and the refreshing taste of the radish. This soup has an attractive subtle brown hue from the squid’s skin, and despite its appearance, it’s not spicy at all, making it excellent for those who can’t eat spicy food or for meals with children. If you prefer a spicier kick, feel free to add chili powder or Cheongyang peppers to your liking. Although this is a simple recipe that can be cooked quickly, I’ll share detailed tips to ensure the squid’s tender texture. So, let’s make a delicious squid and radish soup right away!
Main Ingredients- 800ml Anchovy-Kelp Broth
- 2 medium-sized squids
- 1 piece of radish (approx. 200g)
- 1/2 onion
- 1/2 stalk green onion
Seasoning Ingredients (Measurements: Tbsp)- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce for soup
- 1 Tbsp fish sauce
- Pinch of salt
- 1 green chili pepper (optional)
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce for soup
- 1 Tbsp fish sauce
- Pinch of salt
- 1 green chili pepper (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, peel the radish and slice it thinly into semicircles, about 3mm thick. Thinly slice the onion to a similar thickness. Slice the green onion and green chili pepper diagonally. You can use fresh or frozen squid; pre-cleaned squid is also convenient. Two medium-sized squids are ideal, or one large squid. Rinse the squid under running water and cut it into bite-sized pieces using kitchen scissors.
Step 2
Prepare 800ml of anchovy-kelp broth. Place the broth and sliced radish in a pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
Step 3
Once the broth starts to boil vigorously, continue cooking until the radish becomes translucent and tender. This process allows the radish’s refreshing flavor to infuse into the broth.
Step 4
When the radish is partially cooked, add the prepared squid to the pot. Squid can become tough if overcooked, so simmer it just until it’s cooked through.
Step 5
After adding the squid, add the sliced onion and stir gently. The onion will add a refreshing sweetness to the soup.
Step 6
Now it’s time to add the seasoning ingredients for flavor and cook quickly. Add 1 Tbsp minced garlic, 1 Tbsp soy sauce for soup, and 1 Tbsp fish sauce in order, and mix well.
Step 7
Skim off any foam that rises to the surface while simmering. This will make the soup clearer and cleaner. Taste the soup and add a pinch of salt if needed to adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Step 8
Finally, add the diagonally sliced green onion and green chili pepper (optional), and simmer for another moment to complete the delicious squid and radish soup. The green chili pepper adds a refreshing aroma.
Step 9
Ladle the well-cooked squid and radish soup into warm bowls. You’ll have a clear and refreshing soup that will have you exclaiming, ‘This is so refreshing!’ Enjoy it with a bowl of rice!
