Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Removing the innards from smoked anchovies helps reduce bitterness in the broth.
  • Rather than timing it, boil the broth until the initial 2.5L reduces to 1.25L.
  • Blanch the garakguksu noodles and Korean fish cake (eomuk) together in boiling water, then transfer directly to bowls.
  • Fine salt, garnishes, gochugaru, and black pepper are adjusted to personal preference even in the original source.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to create a deep udon broth flavor using domestic ingredients without commercial katsuobushi.
  • Those who want to enjoy a hot soup dish filled with the unique, savory aroma of smoked anchovies.
  • Those who want to recreate the nostalgic atmosphere of pojangmacha or station garakguksu at home.
