Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Heating dried shrimp in the microwave for 40 seconds removes fishy taste and significantly enhances umami flavor.
  • Thoroughly remove hairtail scales and internal impurities using a wooden chopstick to prevent fishy odor in the broth.
  • Cook hard vegetables like potato and Korean squash before adding hairtail to ensure even doneness and balanced seasoning.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a refreshing, spicy broth without fishy aroma.
  • People who want a clean, rich regional soup taste different from braised hairtail.
  • Those looking to make a deeply flavorful soup using seasonal Korean squash and potato.
