Cooking tips 💡

• Blanching fresh cod in hot water after sprinkling it with ginger wine removes fishy odor completely and prevents the flesh from breaking apart during cooking.
• Straining minced garlic through a sieve after infusing its aroma into the broth keeps the soup clear and prevents a heavy, greasy texture.
• Achieve deep umami flavor using guk-jang and salted shrimp broth, and adjust any missing salt at the end—this results in a refreshingly clean and balanced taste.
