Instructions

  1. Soak seaweed in a large bowl of cold water for 5-10 minutes. It should quadruple in volume. Drain the water and slice the seaweed in large chunks.
  2. Meanwhile combine dried anchovies and shredded pollock fish with 4 1/2 cup of water in a soup pot. Bring the stock to boil, then simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. Remove the anchovies and fish and reserve the stock. Add Korean soybean paste (doenjang) to the stock.
  3. Add the chopped seaweed and garlic to the soup stock. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
  4. Beat eggs with 2 tablespoon of water in a measuring cup. Pour the beaten eggs slowly to the soup in swirling motion. Once the egg is added, do not stir.
  5. Cover the soup with a lid and remove the pot from the heat. The remaining heat will cook the eggs. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning by adding salt if needed. Add chopped green onion at last. Serve the soup hot with rice.

Notes

  • Can't have anchovies? Try with no-sodium chicken stock instead.
