Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today, we’re going to make Fish Cake Janchi-guksu, a hearty Korean noodle soup known for its clear and refreshing broth. It’s a simple yet incredibly satisfying meal!
Step 2
First, thinly slice the fish cakes into strips. In a pot, combine 700ml of anchovy broth with 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, a pinch of black pepper, 1/3 of an onion, 1/4 of a carrot, and a handful of chives. Bring this mixture to a rolling boil over high heat. Boiling the vegetables in the broth will infuse it with a wonderful, refreshing flavor, making the soup even more delicious.
Step 3
Once the broth begins to boil vigorously, add the sliced fish cakes. Let them simmer in the broth, allowing their savory flavor to meld with the soup. This step adds a delightful depth and umami to the broth.
Step 4
After adding the fish cakes and the broth returns to a boil, it’s time to add the somen noodles. Gently stir the noodles to prevent them from sticking together as they cook. When the noodles are cooking and the soup starts to boil up again, add a small amount of cold water. This trick helps to make the noodles perfectly chewy and firm. Bring the soup back to a boil, and then turn off the heat.
Step 5
And there you have it! Your delicious Fish Cake Janchi-guksu is ready, featuring a refreshing broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and tender fish cakes. The addition of fish cakes makes this dish extra filling and satisfying. Enjoy your wonderful homemade noodle soup!
