Ingredients needed 🛒3 servings
- myeonran paste 2~3 pieces
- potato 1 piece
- zucchini 1/2 piece
- water 1.3L
- dried anchovy stock base 5 teaspoons
- seasoned garlic 1/2 tablespoon
Recipe 🍳
- Cut the zucchini into large, jagged pieces for a rough and hearty texture.
- Slice the potato slightly thinner than the zucchini, and cut the myeonran paste into bite-sized pieces.
- In a pot, add 1.3L of water and the dried anchovy stock base, then bring to a gentle boil to prepare the broth.
- Once the broth begins to bubble, add the sliced zucchini and potato, and cook until tender.
- When the ingredients are mostly cooked through, add the seasoned garlic and myeonran paste, then simmer gently until the myeonran is fully dissolved and the soup is complete.
- Prepare zucchini, potato, and myeonran paste into bite-sized pieces.
- Boil the dried anchovy stock and add potato and zucchini to cook.
- Add seasoned garlic and myeonran paste, and cook until fully dissolved and the soup is finished.
Cooking tips 💡
- Since myeonran paste naturally adds saltiness to the broth, avoid adding extra salt at the beginning.
- If you don't have dried anchovy stock base, you can use one store-bought stock cube or a ready-made dried anchovy-kombu pack instead.
