About this dish

Pressed out with both thumbs as it is torn, each piece of dough ends up thin at the rim and thicker in the middle, chewy and tender in one bite.

Potato thickens the broth as it cooks, and with crumbled laver on top the bowl is a whole meal, no rice needed.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Mix 220 g all-purpose flour, a pinch of salt, and 120 ml water until no dry flour remains.

    Knead for 5 minutes until soft and elastic like an earlobe, then cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Slice 300 g potato into flat 0.5 cm pieces and rinse briefly in cold water.

    Cut 120 g zucchini into half-moons and 100 g onion into thin strips so the vegetables cook at a similar pace.

  3. 3

    Bring 1300 ml anchovy-kelp stock to a boil over high heat, then add the potato and onion.

    When it returns to a boil, lower to medium heat and simmer 6 minutes until potato edges look slightly translucent.

  4. 4

    Wet your fingers, stretch the rested dough thin at the edge, and tear in one piece at a time.

    Stir the bottom after each few pieces so they do not stick together or settle and scorch.

  5. 5

    When the dough pieces begin to float, add 120 g zucchini and 1 tablespoon minced garlic.

    Keep simmering over medium heat for 5 minutes, until the zucchini softens and a cut dough piece shows no raw flour inside.

  6. 6

    Add 2 tablespoons of soup soy sauce and season with 0.5 teaspoon of salt.

    Once the dough pieces and potato are evenly distributed, ladle into bowls and top with 2 tablespoons of seaweed flakes.

Tips

Knead 220 g of all-purpose flour with 120 ml of water for 5 minutes, then refrigerate for 30 minutes to make a soft, elastic dough without adding ingredients.
Thinner dough pieces cook faster and have better texture.
