Main Ingredients- 500g bean sprouts
- A little bit of green onion
Seasoning & Broth Ingredients- 1 Tbsp chili powder
- 1 Tbsp soup soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp fish sauce (or anchovy extract)
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp anchovy broth powder (dashida)
- 2 tsp salt (or to taste, can be substituted with more soy sauce)
- Plenty of water (enough to cover the bean sprouts)
- 1 Tbsp chili powder
- 1 Tbsp soup soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp fish sauce (or anchovy extract)
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp anchovy broth powder (dashida)
- 2 tsp salt (or to taste, can be substituted with more soy sauce)
- Plenty of water (enough to cover the bean sprouts)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash one bag (500g) of bean sprouts thoroughly under running water. Place the washed bean sprouts in a pot and add plenty of water, enough to generously cover them.
Step 2
Add 1 tablespoon of soup soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of fish sauce to create the base flavor of the broth. If you don’t have fish sauce, you can substitute it with regular soy sauce or anchovy sauce.
Step 3
Add 1 tablespoon of chili powder for a spicy kick. If you enjoy more heat, feel free to add a little extra.
Step 4
Stir in 1 teaspoon of anchovy broth powder (Dashida) to enrich the soup’s flavor. Alternatively, you can use anchovy broth instead of water.
Step 5
Finely chop the green onion. This will be added at the end for a touch of freshness and color to the clear soup.
Step 6
Now, bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Once the soup is boiling, add 1/2 teaspoon of Dashida and 2 teaspoons of salt to season. Taste and adjust the saltiness if needed. (You can use the full 1 tsp of Dashida for seasoning here as well)
Step 7
As the soup boils, skim off any foam that rises to the surface. This helps to create a cleaner and clearer broth.
Step 8
Add 1 teaspoon of minced garlic to enhance the refreshing taste of the soup and mix well. You can adjust the amount of garlic according to your preference.
Step 9
Finally, add the chopped green onions and let it simmer for another moment. Your spicy and refreshing bean sprout soup is now complete! Enjoy it while it’s hot.
