Main Ingredients- 200g Fresh Oysters (cleaned)
- 100g Korean Radish (thinly sliced)
- 2 leaves Napa Cabbage (thickly shredded)
- 1 bunch Chives (cut into 4cm lengths)
- 1 Red Chili Pepper (diagonally sliced)
- 1 Cheongyang Chili Pepper (diagonally sliced)
- 1L Anchovy Broth (store-bought or homemade)
Seasoning & Others- 1.5 Tbsp Anchovy Sauce (for a refreshing broth)
- 1 Tbsp Salted Shrimp (for umami)
- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 1.5 Tbsp Anchovy Sauce (for a refreshing broth)
- 1 Tbsp Salted Shrimp (for umami)
- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s make the broth. Boil 1 liter of water with an anchovy broth pack for about 10 minutes. If you don’t have a broth pack, you can use dried anchovies and kelp.
Step 2
While the broth is simmering, it’s time to clean the oysters. Dissolve 1 tablespoon of salt in cold water and soak the oysters for about 10 minutes. This helps to remove any impurities. Afterward, gently rinse the oysters under running water a couple of times.
Step 3
Let’s prepare the vegetables. Thinly slice the Korean radish into bite-sized pieces. Shred the napa cabbage thickly. Cut the chives into 4cm lengths. Diagonally slice the red and Cheongyang chili peppers for a nice presentation. Finally, mince the garlic.
Step 4
Now, let’s start cooking! Add the sliced radish to the anchovy broth and simmer until it’s about halfway cooked. Once the radish looks slightly translucent, add the shredded napa cabbage and chives, and continue to simmer. These vegetables cook quickly, so avoid overcooking them.
Step 5
Time to season the broth! Add 1.5 tablespoons of anchovy sauce and 1 tablespoon of salted shrimp, and stir well. Let it simmer for a bit to allow the flavors to meld. Adding salted shrimp will significantly enhance the umami.
Step 6
To keep the broth clear and refreshing, skim off any foam that rises to the surface while simmering. This step will result in a cleaner-tasting broth.
Step 7
This is the final step! Add the cleaned oysters, sliced chili peppers, and minced garlic to the pot. Bring it to a boil – once it starts bubbling, your delicious Oyster Soup Rice Bowl is ready! Serve generously over a bowl of warm rice and enjoy.
