Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If the octopus is added from the start and heated for too long, it becomes rubbery and tough. Always add it at the very end when the noodles are done, and cook only briefly to keep it tender.
  • Rinse the packaged kalguksu noodles briefly under cold water to remove the surface starch, so the broth stays clear and clean instead of becoming cloudy.
  • Since the clams themselves release salty liquid, do not add all the anchovy sauce at once; adjust by tasting the broth.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to easily recreate the refreshing broth of a high-quality seafood kalguksu restaurant at home.
  • Those who need a quick and easy nourishing meal with octopus to regain energy.
  • Those looking for a hot, spicy, and savory noodle dish perfect for rainy or chilly weather.
