Cooking tips 💡

  • Microwave dried anchovies for 30 seconds to dry them out completely before grinding—this enhances the depth of flavor in the broth.
  • Mix sesame oil into the kimchi before using it as a topping for a richer, nuttier taste.
  • Slice carrots and zucchini, lightly salt them, and sauté each in a pan with oil to preserve their texture.
