Instructions

Dough

  1. Mix flour, salt and water. Form a ball and then knead into a dough ball. You can use a stand mixer or a bread machine to make the dough if you'd like. But hand knead for at least 1-2 min at the end to make sure everything is well mixed and the dough is smooth and even.
  2. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 10 -30min.

BROTH

  1. In a pot, add water, dried anchovies, kelp and simmer uncovered for 30 min to make anchovy broth.

Prep Vegetables and garnish

  1. Peel potatoes. Cut potatoes and zucchini into 1/4 inch thick slices and then into smaller bite size pieces. Cut onions into 1/4 inch thickness too.
  2. Chop green onions, garlic and slice or chop red chili pepper.

Make Yangnyeomjang Sauce (optional)

  1. Make this if you like things strongly seasoned and a bit spicy. Just follow ingredients list above and mix everything together and let it sit for few minutes so the Gochukaru has time to bloom.

LET'S COOK IT!

  1. Remove dried anchovies and kelp from the broth and season with salt and guk ganjang.
  2. Add onions, potatoes and zucchini to pot with broth and bring to boil.
  3. While the soup is coming to a boil, prepare a small bowl of water and the dough next to the pot with veggies.
  4. As soon as the soup starts to boil, reduce heat to simmer then tear out a small thumb size amount of dough. Then hold dough with one hand and wet the fingers of the other hand and start stretching out the dough between your fingers while wetting the dough. The dough will stretch out really easily once it's wet enough. Don't be afraid to dip your fingers again in water if you feel you need more. Stretch out the dough until it feels like you can almost see through it (at least the thinnest part of the dough). Then drop the dough into the pot and start again. Don't feel like you have to get it perfect, just thin enough.
  5. Continue to tear and stretch the dough into the pot until you add all the dough.
  6. Cook for a few more minutes until the sujebi pieces are fully cooked. The great thing about sujebi is that it doesn't overcook too easily. It will stand a bit of a over cooking.
  7. Serve in a bowl or if you made it in a Ttukbaegi (stone pot) then you can serve it straight from the stove top to the table. Top with some sliced red chili peppers and green onions. You can also serve some spicy Yangnyeomjang sauce but if you are going to do that, you should reduce the soy sauce and salt of the broth or add a bit more water.

Notes

  • FIRST TIME Sujebi makers! If you are brand new to making this dish, I would recommend that you don't add the potatoes and zucchini until you are almost done adding the dough because they may get overcooked if you take too long tearing the noodles.
  • Adjust broth seasoning if are making Yangnyeomjang Sauce - yangnyeomjang will add additional salt to your soup so be sure to lower the salt level for your broth if you are going to add the spicy Yangnyeomjang.
  • Always taste your broth towards the end to make sure it hasn't reduced too much and is salty. Be sure to have the heat on simmer when adding dough so the broth doesn't reduce too much. 
  • Potato is optional - Omit potato for a clearer broth.
  • Different Broths - use chicken broth and meat or make seafood sujebi by adding fish/seafood broth to anchovy broth.
  • Make dough ahead of time and put in the refrigerator until you are ready to use.
  • SERVING SUGGESTIONS - serve in Ttukbaegi (hot stone pot) to keep it extra hot and also for great presentation! And of course, all you need are some side dishes - Kimchi, Cucumber Salad, Myeolchi Bokkeum, Mumalleangi Muchim.
