Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Avoid cutting the crab body with a knife, as this can cause the meat to fall apart during cooking—keeping it whole ensures better texture.
  • Thoroughly remove the mouth and gills inside the crab shell to achieve a clean, fresh-tasting broth without fishy undertones.
  • Add kelp only when the water is boiling vigorously to avoid excessive extraction of its gelatinous compounds, resulting in a cleaner flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those who love a refreshing, deeply savory soup infused with the rich essence of flower crab.
  • Home cooks seeking a fail-safe doenjang broth without complicated steps.
  • People wanting to recreate a rustic, comforting homemade-style soup for everyday meals.
