Altang Meal Kit Contents & Additional Ingredients- Altang Meal Kit 1530g (includes cod roe, pollock roe, shrimp, radish, green onion, chili peppers, seasoned broth base)
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 Tbsp soju (to remove fishy smell)

- 2 dried anchovy and clam broth packs (or store-bought broth)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Introducing a remarkably generous Alatang meal kit! It comes with fresh cod roe and pollock roe, plump shrimp, refreshing radish, aromatic green onions and chili peppers, and a savory seasoned broth base, making preparation incredibly simple. First, we’ll create a delicious broth, then add radish, green onions, and chili peppers to make a refreshing soup base, and finally add the roe for a flavorful Alatang.
Step 2
In a pot, combine 1.2 liters of water with the 2 dried anchovy and clam broth packs and the liquid seasoning packet. Bring this to a boil. This will form the base for a deeply flavorful broth.
Step 3
Once the broth is boiling, add 1 teaspoon of minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of soju, which is excellent for removing any fishy odors. The radish in the kit is thinly sliced, so adding the cod roe and pollock roe together allows their natural flavors to meld beautifully. Let it boil vigorously over high heat until it starts to bubble rapidly.
Step 4
When the stew is bubbling furiously, reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer gently. Be mindful of the soup boiling over. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface for a cleaner taste. Finally, add the chopped baby bok choy and sliced king oyster mushrooms for a satisfying crunch and enhanced flavor.
Step 5
Taste the stew and adjust seasoning with fish sauce or soy sauce if needed, though most meal kit seasoning packets are quite potent, so it’s unlikely to be too bland. Simmer gently until the ingredients are tender. Finish by sprinkling 1 teaspoon of black pepper for a touch of spicy aroma. Your delicious Alatang is ready!
Step 6
Each pack includes two large, plump shrimp, adding to the generous portions. There’s also plenty of cod and pollock roe, ensuring a delightful mouthful every time. For an even heartier stew, consider adding some tofu. You can also enhance the flavor with fresh perilla leaves or chives, or add bean sprouts for extra crunch. This simply prepared, bountiful Alatang meal kit was truly a satisfying experience!
