Soup Ingredients- 3 cups rice water
- 1 piece dried kelp (approx. 5x5cm)
- 2 cups coin broth or kelp broth
- 1/2 zucchini
- 1/2 onion
- 3-4 cloves garlic
- A little chives
- 1 egg
Fermented Shrimp Sauce- 1 Tbsp fermented shrimp (saeujeot)
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 Tbsp red chili powder (optional)
- 1 Tbsp minced green onion
- 1/2 Tbsp plum extract
- 1 Tbsp fermented shrimp (saeujeot)
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 Tbsp red chili powder (optional)
- 1 Tbsp minced green onion
- 1/2 Tbsp plum extract
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, place 1 piece of dried kelp in 3 cups of rice water and bring it to a boil. Once the water starts boiling, remove the kelp and set it aside to prevent it from becoming mushy.
Step 2
While the broth is simmering, thinly slice the zucchini into half-moon shapes and shred the onion. Slice the garlic cloves thinly.
Step 3
When the rice water boils, add the 2 cups of reserved kelp broth (or coin broth). Then, add the sliced zucchini, onion, and sliced garlic to the pot and let it simmer. Cook until the vegetables become translucent.
Step 4
Add all the prepared fermented shrimp sauce ingredients (1 Tbsp fermented shrimp, 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic, 1/2 Tbsp red chili powder, 1 Tbsp minced green onion, 1/2 Tbsp plum extract) to the soup. Simmer until the broth has a refreshing and delicious flavor. Taste and add more fermented shrimp if needed.
Step 5
Once the soup is flavorful, add the prepared chives and cook briefly until they are just tender.
Step 6
Whisk 1 egg in a bowl to prepare the egg wash. When the soup begins to boil again, reduce the heat to low. Slowly drizzle the egg wash around the edges of the pot without stirring. Let it cook undisturbed.
Step 7
Once the egg is set and looks fluffy, turn off the heat and your soup is ready. Enjoy this delicious and refreshing Zucchini and Fermented Shrimp Clear Soup!
