Main Ingredients
- 100g radish
- 4 cups clear broth (anchovy-kelp broth or rice water)
- 1/2 stalk green onion
- 2 Tbsp anchovy sauce
- 2 Tbsp perilla seed powder
- Pinch of minced garlic (approx. 1/2 tsp)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the radish, peel it, and then julienne it into bite-sized pieces. Slice the green onion diagonally. For the clear broth, you can boil anchovies and kelp, or use rice water for a more savory and refreshing taste. Add the julienned radish to the prepared broth and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Once the radish starts to turn translucent, add anchovy sauce to season the soup. Anchovy sauce adds depth to the soup’s flavor, so be sure to include it!
Step 2
When the radish is tender and well-cooked, add a generous amount of perilla seed powder, the key to its savory flavor. The soup will immediately thicken and a rich, nutty aroma will begin to fill the air. It’s best to add the perilla seed powder gradually while tasting, adjusting the amount to your preference.
Step 3
Finally, add a pinch of minced garlic and the pre-sliced green onions. Simmer for another moment to allow the pungent garlic aroma and the refreshing flavor of the green onions to meld into the soup. Your delicious perilla seed radish soup is now ready! Enjoy it with a warm bowl of rice.
