Pour 1200ml of anchovy-kelp stock into a pot and dissolve 1 tablespoon of doenjang through a fine sieve, then heat over high until the broth reaches a rolling boil.
- 3
Add 120g of sliced onion and the radish greens, then simmer on medium heat for 10 minutes until the greens become tender and absorb the savory stock deeply.

Incorporate the shrimp, 1.5 tablespoons of minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of soup soy sauce, cooking for 5 minutes until the shrimp turn pink and release their briny sweetness.

Toss in 60g of diagonally sliced green onions and bring to a final quick boil to infuse the aroma, then immediately turn off the heat to serve while hot.
