Instructions
- Add 8 cups of water to pot. Add dried anchovies and dried kombu kelp. Heat on medium low heat for 20 min. Do not boil.
- While anchovy stock is developing, cut radish into large chunks and then into slices, then julienne into thin 0.5 cm (0.2 inch) sticks. A little thicker or about the same as size of shoestring fries.
- When anchovy stock is ready (yellowish color), remove anchovies and kelp from pot.
- Add all 3 soybean pastes from above if they are available. If not, just use 3 or 4 Tbs Korean soybean paste (whatever you have) and 1 Tbs red miso to pot. Mix well into the soup by smooshing the paste against the side of the pot with a spoon and swishing it around.
- Add radish sticks to soup and bring to boil on medium high heat.
- Simmer for 25 minutes or more until radishes are soft and tender.
- Add cut green onions, chopped garlic and garlic powder and simmer for 5-10 more minutes.
- Taste the soup. Add 1 tsp guk ganjang if you think it needs a little more salt. Remember guk ganjang not only adds salt but also tons of umami flavor so add this if you think it lacks that something.
- Finish with some red chili powder (gochukaru). Add more if you want it more spicy.
Notes
- Serve hot with rice, kimchi and other side dishes and it will make a wonderfully comforting meal.
