Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Dirt and impurities on bomdong come off more easily if soaked in lukewarm water for about 5 minutes rather than cold water.
  • Adding too much doenjang can make the soup heavy and salty, so if needed, adjust seasoning with salt for a cleaner taste.
  • Instead of cocktail shrimp, you can use finely minced leftover beef for an equally savory and deep broth.
  • Adding onion helps bring out the natural sweetness of the bomdong, so you won't need to add any sugar.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to prepare a sweet and savory soup table using seasonal bomdong.
  • Those looking for a refreshing doenjang soup recipe that maximizes umami with shrimp.
