Solo Cooking God Kimchi Kongnamul Soup

A spicy hangover soup made with fresh kongnamul and deeply boiled kimchi, achieving a rich savory taste using anchovy fish sauce without the need for a long anchovy broth extraction.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If you don't have anchovy fish sauce, you can use sand lance fish sauce or tuna extract to mimic the deep flavor of a broth made from scratch.
  • Always add the kongnamul when the broth is boiling vigorously to avoid the characteristic raw bean smell and maintain its crunchiness.
  • When adjusting the final salt level, using MSG-blended seasoned salt or salted shrimp instead of regular salt will bring out an explosion of refreshing and deep umami.
  • If the broth becomes too salty and reduced, don't panic—just add a little more water and boil for a short while longer to easily fix it.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for the perfect hangover soup to quickly settle their stomach the day after drinking without a complicated cooking process.
  • Those who prefer a clean, spicy, and clear broth with kimchi and vegetables, without any meat.
  • Beginner solo cooking novices who find it tedious to make stock by boiling anchovies or kelp and are not skilled at cooking.
