Cooking tips
- Adding minced garlic directly to the broth can make it feel pasty when chewed, so steeping it through a strainer to extract only the aroma keeps it clean.
- Adding a small amount of tuna extract gives a deep, rich broth umami.
- As the ice melts, the seasoning dilutes, so the initial broth should be slightly salty and sour to taste just right when eaten.
Recommended for
- Those who want to make a refreshing soup in 15 minutes without using heat.
- Those who want a clean, sweet-and-sour golden-ratio cucumber naengguk without garlic bits.
- Those looking for a refreshing home-cooked side dish to revive a lost summer appetite.
