Kim Dae-seok's Napa Cabbage Soup

Cooking tips 💡

• Cutting the cabbage before blanching causes valuable flavor compounds to leach out—blanching it whole and then slicing afterward preserves its sweetness.
• Pre-pickling the radish in soup soy sauce prevents it from falling apart during cooking and maintains a firm texture.
• Always remove the innards (guts) from anchovies to avoid bitterness; dried shrimp are essential for the signature fresh, savory depth of flavor.
• When adding cabbage and radish to the pot, keep the heat low—high heat may cause the broth to overflow.
