Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, to create a clear and deep broth, add 10 cups of water and all the broth ingredients (4cm radish, 1/2 green onion, 1/2 onion, 20 anchovies, 2 green chili peppers, 1 handful dried shrimp, 2 shiitake mushrooms, 1 sheet kelp) to a pot. Once it comes to a boil over high heat, remove the kelp immediately and reduce the heat to medium. Let it simmer for 30 minutes to extract the flavorful broth.
Step 2
While the broth is simmering, prepare the ingredients for the Eomuk Tang. Cut the 300g of fish cakes into bite-sized pieces or desired shapes. Slice the 2cm radish thinly, and diagonally slice the red and green chili peppers. Prepare your rice cakes. (Optional: Adding hard-boiled eggs also makes it delicious.)
Step 3
After 30 minutes, strain the broth using a sieve to remove all the solid ingredients (radish, green onion, onion, anchovies, dried shrimp, shiitake mushrooms, kelp). Add the prepared fish cakes, rice cakes, sliced radish, and chili peppers to the clear broth. Season with 2 Tbsp of soup soy sauce and 1 Tbsp of minced garlic. Continue to simmer over medium heat for another 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 4
Ladle the finished Eomuk Tang into bowls. Garnish with the prepared red chili pepper and hard-boiled egg (optional) for a more appetizing presentation. Enjoy this delicious Eomuk Tang, with its deep, refreshing broth and chewy fish cakes, for a hearty and warm meal! Enjoy your meal today! ^^
