Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Fresh cheonggak is hard to find, so you can substitute soaked dried miyeok.
  • Dried cheonggak is not recommended as it lacks flavor and aroma.
  • The base is not overly sour or sweet, so add more vinegar and raw sugar to suit your taste.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a unique summer cold soup instead of cucumber naengguk.
  • Those who want to enjoy the texture of old cucumber and cheonggak.
  • Those who want to cool off with a sweet, sour, and refreshing broth.
