Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Use short, plump soybean sprouts specifically meant for gukbap—longer ones tend to be tough and less crisp.
  • Store the blanched sprouts and broth chilled; this ensures consistent, restaurant-quality crispness each time you serve.
  • Keep the anchovy heads intact—they contribute to the refreshing flavor; only remove the bitter inner organs cleanly.

Recommended for

  • Those needing a refreshing, clean-tasting hangover soup.
  • People who want authentic, consistently crisp soybean sprout texture without chewiness.
  • Home cooks aiming to recreate the deep umami flavor of famous restaurant-style gukbap.
