Kim Dae-seok's Lemon Cucumber Cold Soup
A balanced ratio cucumber cold soup that chases away the summer heat with a tangy vinegar base and refreshing citrus flavor from fresh lemon juice.
Ingredients needed 4 servings
Recipe
Cooking tips
- Avoid using store-bought seasoned garlic as it can make the broth cloudy and overly sharp; always use whole garlic crushed and finely chopped by hand for a clean taste and better aroma.
- Adding fresh lemon juice alongside vinegar enhances the depth of sourness and effectively neutralizes any fishy undertone in the cucumber.
- As ice melts, the broth becomes gradually less salty, so it's best to season slightly saltier than usual at the beginning.
Recommended for
- People who want to quickly prepare a refreshing soup without fire during hot summer days.
- Those dissatisfied with traditional cucumber cold soup being bland or overly sharp in sourness.
- Anyone wanting to enjoy a refined Korean cold noodle soup enhanced with the bright aroma of lemon.
