[1-Person Household Recipe] Easy and Delicious Spicy Kimchi Janchi Guksu
Hello, I’m ‘Ppang-soon-ee’ who lives alone. Today, instead of bread, I’ll show you how to make ‘Spicy Kimchi Janchi Guksu’ using kimchi and anchovy broth. It’s a simple yet deeply flavorful dish that makes for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients- 1 serving of somyeon noodles (approx. 100g)
- 1 anchovy and kelp broth pack
- 1 cup well-fermented kimchi (approx. 150g)
Seasoning Sauce- 2.5 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp fine gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 0.5 Tbsp minced garlic
- 2.5 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp fine gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 0.5 Tbsp minced garlic
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s cook the somyeon noodles. Boil plenty of water and add the noodles. For a chewier texture, it’s good to add a pinch of salt (about 1/2 tsp). Be careful not to overcook the noodles; boil for 3-4 minutes, then rinse them under cold water, drain, and arrange them nicely in a bowl.
Step 2
Finely chop the kimchi into bite-sized pieces (about 1cm wide). The flavor of the kimchi will add depth to the broth, so using well-fermented kimchi will make it even tastier.
Step 3
Let’s make the delicious seasoning sauce! In a small bowl, combine 2.5 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp fine gochugaru, and 0.5 Tbsp minced garlic. Mix them thoroughly. This will create a spicy and savory sauce.
Step 4
Preparing a deep and refreshing broth is very simple. Bring water to a boil in a pot, add the anchovy and kelp broth pack, and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Once the broth is ready, remove the pack and use the clear broth.
Step 5
Now it’s time to assemble all the ingredients for a delicious Kimchi Janchi Guksu! On top of the cooked noodles, add the chopped kimchi and the prepared seasoning sauce. Finally, pour in the hot broth to complete your tasty Kimchi Janchi Guksu. For an extra touch, sprinkle some sesame seeds on top for a more appealing presentation!
