Kim Dae-seok's Wugui Soybean Paste Soup

A rich and savory wugui soybean paste soup made by simmering wugui in a deep broth extracted from diphori, with the wugui pre-marinated to ensure the flavor integrates perfectly into the broth.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Marinate the wugui with soybean paste and garlic beforehand so the flavor fully penetrates and stays harmonized with the broth.
  • If using lightly blanched fresh wugui, simmer for at least 30 minutes instead of 15 to soften the texture and develop deeper flavor.
  • Diphori can be substituted with dried anchovies for the broth, but using diphori enhances the soup’s richness and sweetness.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a comforting, rich traditional Korean soup.
  • Home cooks interested in learning how to deepen flavor through pre-marination techniques.
  • People looking for a hearty, long-lasting home-style soup that can be enjoyed for several days.
