Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Most of the fishy odor in flower crab comes from the gills and trapped liquid in the shell, so removing and rinsing these parts thoroughly ensures a clean broth.
  • Adding pumpkin causes the broth to thicken over time and dulls its refreshing taste, so it is best omitted.
  • Using gochujang makes the broth heavy and sticky, while too much soy sauce darkens the color. For a clean, rich flavor, rely on a small amount of soybean paste and salt for seasoning.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a refreshing, spicy broth or a savory soup to enjoy with a meal or drink.
  • Home cooks who want to master the proven method for removing flower crab’s fishy odor and creating a refined broth.
  • Anyone aiming to recreate a restaurant-quality, clean yet savory broth at home.
