Rubbed with doenjang first and then simmered with five spoonfuls of perilla seed powder, they end up in a broth thick enough to spoon over rice and mix in.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Squeeze excess water from 300 g blanched radish greens, then slice any tough stems thinly for easier chewing.
Add 1.5 tablespoons doenjang and 1 tablespoon soup soy sauce, and massage until the seasoning clings between the fibers.
- 2
Pour 1300 ml anchovy broth into a pot and bring it to a full boil over high heat.
Lower to medium heat, then add the seasoned radish greens and 1 tablespoon minced garlic so the broth stays clear at first.
- 3
When the soup returns to a boil, reduce to medium-low and simmer for about 15 minutes.
Press the greens under the broth and stir occasionally so the doenjang does not settle and scorch on the bottom.
- 4
Once the broth tastes of the greens, add 5 tablespoons perilla seed powder one spoonful at a time.
After each addition, loosen it with hot broth and stir until it disperses smoothly and turns the soup cloudy.
- 5
Add 50 g green onion and simmer for 5 more minutes over low heat.
When the broth thickens slightly, taste first, then add up to 0.5 teaspoon salt in portions so it does not become too salty.
- 6
Turn off the heat when the greens are tender and the broth is cloudy, nutty, and spoon-coating.
Do not reduce it too far if serving over rice, and ladle it into bowls while hot.
