Main Ingredients
- 5 sheets of Korean fish cakes (eomuk/odeng)
- 1/5 piece of Korean radish (mu, about 150g)
- 1 medium potato
- 1/4 onion
- 1 Cheongyang chili pepper (optional, for added spice)
- 800ml anchovy and kelp broth
Seasoning & Others
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce for soup (ganjang)
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 stalk of green onion (thinly sliced)
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce for soup (ganjang)
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 stalk of green onion (thinly sliced)
- Pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start building the foundation for a deep and refreshing broth! Add the large chunks of potato and thinly sliced radish to the anchovy broth. Bring it to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. This process will infuse the broth with sweetness and a clean, refreshing flavor from the vegetables.
Step 2
While the broth is simmering, cut the fish cakes into bite-sized pieces. Once the broth is boiling, stir in 1 tablespoon of minced garlic to enhance the aroma. Then, add the prepared fish cakes. Once the fish cakes have softened, season the soup with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce for soup. Taste and add a little more soy sauce if needed.
Step 3
Add the thinly sliced or roughly chopped onion and the diagonally sliced Cheongyang chili pepper (if you prefer a spicier kick). Let it simmer for another few minutes until the onion becomes translucent. The sweetness from the onion will enrich the soup’s flavor even further.
Step 4
Finally, generously garnish with the thinly sliced green onions. The fresh, aromatic scent of the green onions will elevate the overall flavor profile of the fish cake soup.
Step 5
A sprinkle of black pepper adds a subtle pungent note, making the soup even more delightful. And just like that, your piping hot and delicious fish cake soup is ready!
Step 6
Enjoy this comforting soup with a bowl of hot rice, or savor it on its own for a satisfying meal. Eat well and stay healthy!
