Main Ingredients- 2 Potatoes
- 1/2 block Firm Tofu
- 1 Onion
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the broth for a flavorful soup. Fill about two-thirds of a pot with water. If you don’t have specific broth anchovies, use about 10 medium-sized anchovies. Once the water boils, add 1 sheet of dried kelp. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for another 5 minutes. When a rich aroma from the anchovies and kelp is released, turn off the heat and cover the pot to let it steep.
Step 2
Peel the potatoes, cut them into quarters, and then slice them thinly. Soaking the sliced potatoes in cold water for a bit will help remove excess starch, making the soup clearer.
Step 3
Peel the onion, cut it into quarters, and then slice it thinly into strips. Sliced onions will add sweetness and a refreshing taste to the soup.
Step 4
Prepare the tofu by cutting the 1/2 block into bite-sized pieces. If you cut them too small, they might break apart while cooking, so aim for a moderate size.
Step 5
Once the ingredients are ready, strain the broth to remove the anchovies and kelp. Add the sliced onion and potatoes to the clear anchovy broth and bring to a simmer over medium heat. When the potatoes are about two-thirds cooked, add the tofu and continue to cook over low heat. Make sure to cook until the potatoes are tender.
Step 6
When all the ingredients are tender, season the soup with soy sauce for soup (Guk-ganjang). Add a pinch of salt and pepper for extra flavor. Finally, add a generous amount of minced green onion and turn off the heat. (You can adjust the amount of green onion to your liking; I added about 3 tablespoons because I love them!) Start your morning comfortably with this refreshing and clear potato tofu soup. Enjoy a happy mealtime with healthy food!
