Cooking tips

  • Washing the onion thoroughly and adding it with the peel to the broth will give the soup a appetizing brown color and effectively remove any unwanted odors.
  • To keep the bean sprouts crisp and prevent them from becoming tough, add them to the boiling broth and remove them as soon as it comes back to a rolling boil.
  • Lightly greasing the inside of the ramekin with sesame oil before adding the egg will prevent it from sticking, allowing for easy removal of the poached egg.
  • To perfectly replicate the deep flavor found in restaurant dishes, using MSG and anchovy flavored seasoning in the recommended proportions is key.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for the perfect hangover soup to refresh and cleanse after heavy drinking.
  • Those who want to replicate the deep, savory flavor of Jeonju-style kongnamul gukbap at home.
  • Those who want to properly enjoy the classic combination of crisp bean sprouts and savory, runny-yolked poached eggs.
