Cooking tips 💡

• Soaking aged kimchi in cold water for about 30 minutes ensures the broth becomes clean-tasting and refreshingly crisp.
• Make sure to thoroughly stir-fry the ground pork until it breaks apart and develops a rich, fragrant flavor before adding the aged kimchi—this builds a deep, satisfying broth.
• Using salted shrimp as the base seasoning gives a much more savory, umami-rich, and refreshing taste compared to using just salt or soy sauce.
