Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the pollack roe. Place the roe in a bowl, add a little vinegar, and gently rub to wash without breaking the roe. Drain the washed roe on a sieve.
Step 2
Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes. Cut the radish into similar-sized cubes. Slice the spicy green peppers diagonally and chop the green onions. Prepping the vegetables makes the cooking process smoother.
Step 3
Pour 700ml of water into a pot. Add the anchovy-kelp broth pack, dried kelp, and the cubed radish. Adding the kelp with the broth pack makes it easier to remove later.
Step 4
Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until the radish is almost translucent and tender. Once the radish is cooked, remove the anchovy-kelp broth pack and dried kelp to keep the broth clear.
Step 5
Once the broth is boiling, carefully add the prepared pollack roe. When the roe starts to float as it cooks, add 1/2 Tbsp of salted shrimp to enhance the broth’s savory flavor. Salted shrimp plays a crucial role in seasoning the soup.
Step 6
Now, add the seasoning ingredients: red pepper powder, soy sauce (or fish sauce), and minced garlic, and mix well to flavor the broth. Once the seasonings are well combined, add the cubed tofu. Cover the pot and simmer for about 2 minutes until the tofu is tender. Covering the pot helps the tofu absorb the soup’s flavor.
Step 7
Finally, add the chopped green onions and diagonally sliced spicy green peppers. Adding green vegetables enhances the soup’s color and adds a fresh aroma. Simmer for another moment to complete your delicious Pollack Roe Soup!
Step 8
Carefully ladle the hot soup into serving bowls. Enjoy the refreshing and deep broth flavor immediately. It’s a satisfying meal when served with rice!
