Ingredients needed 1 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The combination of dried anchovy sauce and chicken stock delivers the signature umami depth of janchiguksu without needing complex stock packets.
  • Do not stir after adding the egg—let it rest so the egg forms soft, custard-like clumps; stirring will make the broth cloudy.
  • Use only about 5 drops of sesame oil—too much can overpower the broth’s delicate aroma.

Recommended for

  • People who want the rich taste of janchiguksu without the trouble of making stock.
  • Those looking to quickly prepare a satisfying meal using basic pantry staples and thin wheat noodles.
  • Fans of soft, fluffy egg toppings generously layered on their noodles.
