Spring Cabbage and Fish Cake Soup: A Refreshing Soup with Savory Crab Broth
Spring Cabbage and Fish Cake Soup (w. King Crab Broth Pack): Soothingly Refreshing with King Crab Broth Flavor
This is a quick and deeply flavorful soup made by using pre-seasoned spring cabbage that was stored in the freezer. We used a king crab broth pack for a refreshingly clear and savory base. Adding chewy fish cakes makes this a hearty soup that adults and children alike will love. If spring cabbage is abundant, prepare it by seasoning and freezing it for easy access to delicious soup anytime. You can also substitute with napa cabbage or young green cabbage.

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Bring 3 cups or more of water to a boil in a pot. Once boiling, add the King Crab broth pack and let it steep for about 3-5 minutes. Remove the broth pack, leaving only the broth. (Using rice water will add a richer, nuttier flavor to the broth.)
Step 2
Take out the frozen seasoned spring cabbage from the freezer. Slice the onion thinly and chop the green onion into bite-sized pieces. (If you have radish, thinly slicing and adding it will make the soup even more delicious.)
Step 3
Once the prepared King Crab broth starts boiling again, add the frozen seasoned spring cabbage and sliced onion. Cook until the onion becomes translucent.
Step 4
Add the fish cakes, cut into desired pieces, and continue to simmer. Finally, add the chopped green onion and adjust the seasoning with soup soy sauce or salt to taste. Your delicious soup is ready!
