Seasoning & Broth- 1 Tbsp soup soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp tuna extract (or substitute with more soup soy sauce if unavailable)
- 0.7 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- Plenty of broth (anchovy-kelp broth or rice water)
- 1 Tbsp soup soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp tuna extract (or substitute with more soup soy sauce if unavailable)
- 0.7 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- Plenty of broth (anchovy-kelp broth or rice water)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Briefly rinse the dried pollack under cold water to remove any impurities. Then, cut it into bite-sized pieces (about 3-4cm). Be careful not to rinse for too long, as this can diminish the flavor.
Step 2
Peel the Korean radish and julienne it into thin strips, about 0.3cm thick. Slicing it thinly allows the flavors to infuse better into the broth and cooks faster.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a pot over medium-low heat. Add the prepared dried pollack and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. This step removes any fishy smell and enhances the nutty aroma.
Step 4
Once the pollack is lightly fried, add the julienned radish to the pot and stir-fry together for another 2-3 minutes, until the radish becomes slightly translucent. This blending of flavors creates a deeper, more complex broth.
Step 5
Pour in enough broth (anchovy-kelp broth or rice water) to generously cover the ingredients. Add 1 tablespoon of soup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of tuna extract, and 0.7 tablespoon of minced garlic. Bring the soup to a boil over high heat.
Step 6
Once the soup starts boiling, continue to cook over high heat for about 5 more minutes. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface using a spoon for a clearer, cleaner broth. Add the soybean sprouts at this stage.
Step 7
While the soup is simmering, prepare the vegetables. Slice the green onion diagonally. For the chili peppers (both green and red), remove the seeds and slice them diagonally as well. If you prefer a spicier kick, feel free to increase the amount of chili peppers.
Step 8
When the soup has boiled well and the soybean sprouts are cooked, add the prepared green onion, green chili pepper, and red chili pepper. Simmer for another 1-2 minutes. Avoid overcooking the vegetables, as they can become too soft.
Step 9
Your refreshing and savory #PollackSoup is ready! Enjoy this warming and comforting dish, perfect with a bowl of steamed rice. It’s a delightful combination of the pollack’s savory depth and the radish’s refreshing essence.
