Recipe
Cooking tips
- Use fresh, mild-tasting lettuce with soft leaves for a cleaner, more refreshing flavor in the broth.
- If using homemade soybean paste, which may be saltier than store-bought, adjust the amount gradually to balance the seasoning.
- Lettuce wilts quickly, so avoid prolonged cooking like with cabbage—add it at the final stage to preserve its texture and vibrant color.
Recommended for
- Those who want to quickly use up leftover lettuce that’s wilting after being used as a wrap ingredient.
- People seeking a quick, smooth, warm soup that doesn’t require long simmering, perfect for busy mornings.
- Those looking to cool down with a refreshing meal enhanced by a savory soybean paste base and a spicy kick.
