Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • noodles 1 serving
  • store-bought mixed seafood 1 cup
  • shrimp 2 pieces
  • onion 1/2
  • bok choy 1 bunch
  • minced garlic 1/2 tablespoon
  • gochugaru 1 tablespoon
  • soy sauce 1 tablespoon
  • dried shiitake mushroom powder 1/2 tablespoon
  • salt a pinch
  • vegetable oil 2~3 tablespoons

Recipe 🍳

  1. Blanch frozen mixed seafood and shrimp briefly in boiling water to remove any off-flavors, then drain and pat dry.
  2. Slice the onion and cut the bok choy into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Heat 2~3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan, add minced garlic, and sauté gently without burning to release its aroma.
  4. Once the garlic scent rises, add the onion and bok choy and stir-fry together.
  5. When the vegetables have just begun to wilt, add 1 tablespoon of gochugaru and stir rapidly while adjusting heat to prevent burning, creating a spicy chili oil base.
  6. Add the blanched seafood and pour 1 tablespoon of soy sauce around the edge of the pan to infuse smokiness and depth of flavor.
  7. Pour about half a paper cup of water (100~150cc) first, bring to a boil, and simmer to extract a rich broth from the vegetables and seafood.
  8. When the broth reduces slightly, add the remaining water to reach about 450cc total, then season with dried shiitake mushroom powder and salt.
  9. Once the broth boils vigorously, pour it generously over pre-cooked warm noodles, along with the solids, to finish.
  1. Blanch the seafood to remove odors, and cut vegetables into convenient eating sizes.
  2. Sauté garlic and vegetables, then add gochugaru, soy sauce, and blanched seafood to create a spicy oil base and aroma.
  3. Gradually add water in portions to build a rich broth, then season with mushroom powder and serve over noodles.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Do not add all the water at once—start with a small amount and simmer like reducing to preserve vegetable freshness while making the broth richer faster.
  • Use finely ground gochugaru for a clearer, more vibrant broth color.
  • Adding leftover vegetables like mushrooms or cabbage from your fridge enhances the dish’s richness and depth.
