Recipe 🍳

  1. Cut the potato into half-moon slices about 0.5cm thick, slice the onion into strips, and finely chop the green onion.
  2. In a pot, add the required amount of fresh kimchi, 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 tablespoon red pepper powder, 1L water, and the sliced potato, then boil for 4 minutes.
  3. Once the broth starts boiling, add a small amount of beef dashi and 1/2 tablespoon squid sauce to enhance the umami and adjust seasoning.
  4. Take the chilled homemade dumpling dough and stretch it thinly, cutting into bite-sized pieces, then add them to the pot.
  5. Stir gently to prevent sticking and continue boiling for another 4 minutes until the flour is fully cooked. Serve in bowls.
  1. Cut potato, onion, and green onion into appropriate sizes.
  2. Add kimchi, seasonings, water, and potato to the pot and boil for 4 minutes.
  3. Adjust the broth flavor with beef dashi and squid sauce.
  4. Cut the dumpling dough into small pieces, add to the pot, and boil for 4 more minutes to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • If making dumpling dough from scratch is inconvenient, use store-bought dumpling wrappers cut into suitable sizes.
  • Boil the potatoes from the beginning so their starch disperses into the broth, resulting in a richer, thicker texture.
