Okjubu's Galbi Tang Soybean Sprout Soup

A simple and refreshing soybean sprout soup enhanced with a tangy, cool flavor using store-bought galbi tang broth

🙋 Recommended for

  • Those looking to transform leftover galbi tang into a fresh, refreshing soup
  • Anyone wanting a rich, flavorful broth quickly without the hassle of making stock from scratch

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • store-bought galbi tang 1 pack
  • soybean sprouts 2 handfuls
  • green onion 1/2 bunch
  • seasoned garlic 1/2 tablespoon
  • red pepper powder 1 tablespoon
  • water 2 measuring cups (about 360ml)

Recipe 🍳

  1. Chop green onions finely and set aside.
  2. Pour the store-bought galbi tang pack into a pot, then add 2 measuring cups of water to adjust the seasoning.
  3. Add half of the chopped green onions and 1/2 tablespoon of seasoned garlic, then bring to a boil over medium heat.
  4. Once the broth begins to bubble, add all the cleaned soybean sprouts.
  5. To prevent any fishy odor from the sprouts, either keep the lid off throughout cooking or keep it fully closed for 4–5 minutes.
  6. When the sprouts are cooked to perfection, transfer to serving bowls and garnish with the remaining green onions and red pepper powder.
  1. Add water to the galbi tang broth, then stir in green onions and seasoned garlic and bring to a boil.
  2. Once boiling, add the soybean sprouts and simmer for 4–5 more minutes.
  3. Transfer to bowls and finish by topping with green onions and red pepper powder.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Avoid opening the lid during cooking, as this may cause a fishy smell; stick to one method—either keep it open or fully closed throughout.
  • For a spicier, more tangy kick, consider adding finely chopped green chili peppers along with the red pepper powder.
