Sung Si-kyung's Silkworm Pupa Soup

A pojangmacha-style silkworm pupa soup that eliminates the canned taste by stir-frying the pupae in scallion oil and adding napa cabbage and Korean hot chili peppers for a refreshing, spicy kick.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Cooking tips

  • Adding all the canned broth makes the soup overly sweet and artificial-tasting, so use only a portion and adjust the seasoning with fermented anchovy sauce and soy sauce for a cleaner flavor.
  • For a much better aroma, roughly chop whole garlic cloves on the spot instead of using pre-minced garlic.
  • Adding napa cabbage brings natural sweetness and a refreshing quality to the broth.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a spicy soup snack with pojangmacha vibes at home.
  • Those who want to elevate canned silkworm pupae into a more sophisticated, cooked dish.
