About this dish

The shredded pollock is fried in sesame oil until golden before any water goes in, and that step gives this Gangwon version a nuttier smell than ordinary bugeoguk.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Soak 120 g dried pollack strips in cold water for 5 minutes until soft, then drain and squeeze out excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a pot over medium heat; stir-fry dried pollack for 2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.

  3. 3

    Add 220 g of sliced radish and 1800 ml of water and simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes, until the radish turns translucent and flavors the broth.

  4. 4

    Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and 1.5 tablespoons of soup soy sauce and cook for 8 more minutes, stirring to distribute the seasoning evenly.

  5. 5

    Slowly drizzle 2 beaten eggs into the stirring broth in a circular motion so they form soft, cloud-like wisps.

  6. 6

    Add sliced green onion and adjust salt.

    Once it bubbles again, immediately turn off heat and serve hot.

Tips

Toasting pollock first deepens umami flavor.
Add eggs near the end to keep broth clear.
