Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Do not use perilla seed kimchi directly, as it will turn the broth into kimchi stew and overpower the natural aroma of mussels and fish cake. Always rinse thoroughly to preserve crispness and fermented umami flavor.
  • Fresh mussels become tough and shrink if overcooked, so add them only at the end and cook briefly to maintain a tender, bouncy texture.
  • When boiling eggs, do not fill the pot with too much water—just about 100ml—to steam them gently using trapped vapor, making perfect soft-boiled eggs effortless.

Recommended for

  • Those who prefer a mild, subtle yet deep broth flavor.
  • People seeking a more upscale alternative to regular street-side fish cake soup, ideal as a sophisticated drink companion or special treat.
  • Those wanting to enjoy a hearty, nourishing meal with thin noodles and seafood.
