Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Taro stems contain natural irritants and a sharp taste, so they must be boiled in soybean paste water and rested to remove bitterness.
  • The perilla and glutinous rice juice should be strained through a fine sieve to remove all husks, ensuring a smooth, non-gritty broth.
  • Due to the starch from glutinous rice and perilla, the bottom can easily burn—stir frequently during cooking.
  • Avoid adding more soybean paste at the end, as it may make the broth heavy; instead, adjust seasoning cleanly with salt.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make thick, deep-flavored Gwangju-style duck soup at home.
  • People curious about duck dishes with taro stems and sweet potato stalks.
  • Fans of rich, nutty perilla flavor paired with fragrant water dropwort.
