Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Soaking the cut dodaeri in vinegar water removes fishy odor and makes the flesh firmer and more resilient.
  • Fish flesh easily breaks down when boiled vigorously, so reduce heat to medium after the broth starts boiling.
  • Ssuk loses its aroma and becomes bitter if overcooked, so it’s best to add it at the final stage and let it wilt from residual heat.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking seasonal nourishing dishes to stimulate appetite and boost nutrition in spring.
  • People who prefer light yet deeply flavorful soups without being overly spicy.
  • Ideal for drinkers looking for a clear, clean, and excellent soju accompaniment or hangover soup.
