A refreshingly clear and deeply flavorful fish head soup, enhanced with radish and water dropwort, drawing rich umami from dried large fish heads.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Cutting radish diagonally instead of uniform sizes allows both thin and thick pieces to be chewed together, creating a more interesting and layered texture.
  • To keep the broth clean, avoid adding too many leafy parts of water dropwort; lightly tap the leaves with the knife edge and use mainly the stems for a neat presentation.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a deep, refreshing hangover soup using dried fish or dried cod heads.
  • Those seeking rich, natural umami flavor without artificial seasonings or complex stock preparations.
