Ingredients- Radish, appropriate amount (about 2-3 cups)
- Ground Perilla Seeds, 3 Tbsp
- Sesame Oil, 1 Tbsp
- Soy Sauce or Salt, to taste (for seasoning)
- Water, 600ml (about 3 cups)
- Green Onion, a little (chopped)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the radish thoroughly. Slice it thinly, about 0.5cm thick, and then cut into strips of similar width. Slicing it to a moderate thickness is recommended, as very thin slices might break apart during cooking.
Step 2
Now, let’s start making the soup! Place the sliced radish in a pot. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and a pinch of salt. It’s best not to add too much salt initially; you can adjust the seasoning later after tasting. This allows the radish to absorb the flavors more gently.
Step 3
Stir-fry the radish in sesame oil over medium-low heat. As the radish begins to turn slightly translucent and release some moisture, pour in the 600ml of water. You can adjust the amount of water to achieve your desired soup consistency.
Step 4
Once the water comes to a boil and the radish pieces are tender and translucent, stir in 3 tablespoons of ground perilla seeds. You can add more or less perilla seeds according to your preference; I like a generous amount for a richer nutty flavor.
Step 5
After adding the perilla seeds, stir well and let the soup simmer until it thickens slightly. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with soy sauce or salt as needed. Finally, sprinkle in the chopped green onions for a fresh garnish. Your perilla seed and radish soup is now ready!
Step 6
Congratulations, your delicious perilla seed and radish soup is complete! This recipe is incredibly simple, using minimal ingredients and an easy-to-follow process, making it perfect for busy mornings. The combination of nutty perilla and refreshing radish creates a delightful broth that’s excellent for hangover relief and a healthy option for kids. Serve it hot, perhaps over rice with a side of kimchi, for a truly satisfying and wholesome meal. Enjoy your cooking!
