Kim Dae-seok's Dried Pollock and Soybean Sprout Soup

Cooking tips 💡

• Do not fry dried pollock directly from dry state. Briefly soak and rub them in water to thoroughly eliminate their characteristic strong odor.
• Sesame oil easily smokes and spoils at high heat, so always add a bit of water to keep the mixture moist and stir-fry slowly over medium-low heat.
• Avoid using fermented salted shrimp, as its distinct aroma can overpower the natural richness of dried pollock. Instead, use soy sauce for umami and salt for clean salinity—this enhances the soup’s refreshing quality.
