Cooking tips

  • Avoid adding the soft center seeds of the small pumpkin to the broth—they break down easily and make the soup cloudy. Stick to the firm outer flesh for a cleaner look.
  • When twisting the noodles into a bundle, hold the center and twist in one direction to maintain shape when placed in the bowl—neat and presentable.

Recommended for

  • Those craving a warm, refreshing janchiguksu on a hungry evening or weekend lunch without complicated steps.
  • Beginners who find it tedious to simmer anchovies for hours but still want a rich, deep broth in one go.
