↔ No water kimchi broth (mul-kimchi)? Store-bought kimchi works well. For cooking, older and more sour kimchi tastes better. Sauerkraut with a little gochugaru is a last resort.

Steps

Translated from the Korean original. Amounts are as in the original recipe.

Cut the onion, carrot, and cucumber into thin strips.
Mix young radish water kimchi, sparkling water, and fish sauce to make the noodle broth.
Boil the egg.
Add lemon juice when boiling the konjac noodles to remove the konjac's distinctive smell.
Season the drained konjac lightly with fish sauce.
Put the konjac in a bowl, pour in the broth, and serve with the vegetables and egg to finish.

💡 TipThe broth is balanced by the refreshing taste of young radish water kimchi, the crisp sparkling water, and the low-salt fish sauce.
