Cooking tips

  • Always use well-fermented, tangy sour kimchi for kimchi soup or stew—this ensures a deep, rich flavor in the broth.
  • Do not soak fish cake in hot water for too long, as it can leach out desirable flavors; keep it to exactly 10 seconds.
  • If dried anchovy sauce is unavailable, substitute with 3 tablespoons of soy sauce for seasoning.
  • The longer you simmer the kimchi, the more its signature refreshing, deep flavor will develop—never skip the 20-minute simmering step.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a refreshing, spicy hangover remedy to cleanse the stomach after drinking alcohol.
  • People who want to enjoy both the clean taste of kimchi soup and the savory depth of fish cake soup at once.
  • Anyone wanting to remove the surface oil from fish cake for a cleaner, lighter, and more refined soup flavor.
