Main Ingredients for Squid and Radish Soup- 400g Korean radish (prepare a generous amount)
- 2 fresh squids (cleaned and prepared)
- 1/2 stalk green onion (sliced diagonally)
- 1/2 red chili pepper (thinly sliced for color)
- 1/2 green chili pepper (add for a spicy kick if desired)
- 1 Tbsp cooking wine (like Mirin, to remove fishy smell)
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic (for enhanced flavor)
- Pinch of sea salt (or baked salt) for seasoning
Ingredients for Flavorful Anchovy Broth- 1.5 liters water (prepare ample broth)
- 10 dried anchovies for broth (descaled and gutted for a cleaner taste)
- 1.5 liters water (prepare ample broth)
- 10 dried anchovies for broth (descaled and gutted for a cleaner taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s make a delicious anchovy broth. In a pot, add 1.5 liters of water and 10 dried anchovies. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce to medium-low heat and simmer gently for about 10 minutes. This will create a deep and refreshing anchovy broth.
Step 2
Now, it’s time to prepare the radish in a special way! Wash the 400g of radish thoroughly and then cut it into cute circle (○), triangle (△), and square (□) shapes, just like in ‘Squid Game’. They will be fun shapes that children will love.
Step 3
Slice the green onion diagonally and prepare the red and green chili peppers by slicing them thinly to add color. If you like it spicy, you can increase the amount of green chili pepper.
Step 4
Adding shapes to the squid will also be fun! Wash and prepare one squid, then cut it into cute circle (○) shapes. They will float adorably in the soup.
Step 5
For the other squid, cut it into square (□) and triangle (△) shapes instead of circles. Adding various shapes of squid will double the fun of eating!
Step 6
Remove the anchovies from the prepared broth using a sieve, and add the sliced radish to the pot to boil. Boil the radish until it becomes translucent for a tender and delicious soup.
Step 7
Once the radish is somewhat cooked, add 1 tablespoon of cooking wine and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. The cooking wine will remove any fishy smell from the squid, and the minced garlic will add a deep flavor to the broth. Continue to boil until the radish is completely translucent, then add the sliced green onions and simmer for a bit longer.
Step 8
When the green onions are tender, add all the prepared squid. Be careful not to overcook the squid, as it can become tough. Cook it just enough to turn opaque and maintain a tender, chewy texture. Cook until the squid turns white.
Step 9
Finally, it’s time to season. Gradually add sea salt (or baked salt), tasting the broth as you go, until it reaches your desired flavor. Finish by adding the thinly sliced red and green chili peppers for a colorful touch. Your visually appealing and delicious squid and radish soup is now complete!
