Kim Dae-seok's Fish Cake Kimchi Soup

A refreshing and spicy fish cake kimchi soup simmered with fermented kimchi and fish cakes in a dashi broth made from dried anchovies and kelp.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Remove the internal organs from dried anchovies and microwave them for 20 seconds to eliminate fishy odor and bitterness.
  • Mix a small amount of brown sugar (or granulated sugar) into the fermented kimchi before use to effectively reduce its sharpness and strong smell.
  • Do not add fish cake at the beginning of cooking, as it will over-expand and lose texture—add it midway through for best results.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to warm up with a hot, spicy soup on cold days.
  • People who want a refreshing and clean-tasting broth different from regular kimchi stew.
  • Home cooks wanting to quickly make a delicious homemade meal using leftover fermented kimchi and fish cake.
