Steps

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

  1. Cut the tofu into 1cm cubes, and cut half of the radish into thin squares and use the other half for the broth.
  2. Cut the tofu into 1cm cubes, and cut half of the radish into thin squares and use the other half for the broth.
  3. Cut the dried pollack into bite-size pieces.
  4. Make the broth with the dried pollack, green onion roots, glasswort and radish.
  5. Remove the glasswort and green onion roots from the finished broth and season with the fish sauce. Cut the radish left over from making the broth into thin squares and add it to the soup.
  6. Finally, add the tofu and boil, and finish by topping with the green and red chili peppers and thin green onion just before eating.
💡 TipThe flavor of the dried pollack itself gives taste and richness to the dish even without salt. The dried pollack broth boosts savory depth, and fish sauce, which is lower in saltiness than soup soy sauce, is used to reduce sodium.
