Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak 50g dried pollack strips in water for 10 minutes until soft, squeeze out water, and tear into pieces.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tsp sesame oil in a pot and stir-fry pollack for 2 minutes for a nutty aroma.

  3. 3

    Add 800ml water, bring to a boil, and skim off foam.

  4. 4

    Add bite-size tofu, 1 tbsp soup soy sauce, and garlic. Simmer 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Pour 2 beaten eggs in a swirl, add green onion, cook 1 minute, and adjust salt.

Tips

Skipping the sesame oil stir-fry step results in a bland broth.
This is one of Korea best hangover soups--perfect for the morning after.
Using hwangtae (freeze-dried pollack) instead gives a softer texture and deeper umami.
