Recipe 🍳
- Cut the potato into half-moon slices about 0.5cm thick, slice the onion into strips, and finely chop the green onion.
- 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.

- Take the chilled homemade dumpling dough and stretch it thinly, cutting into bite-sized pieces, then add them to the pot.
- Stir gently to prevent sticking and continue boiling for another 4 minutes until the flour is fully cooked. Serve in bowls.
- Cut potato, onion, and green onion into appropriate sizes.
- Add kimchi, seasonings, water, and potato to the pot and boil for 4 minutes.
- Adjust the broth flavor with beef dashi and squid sauce.
- 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.
