An iconic dish from South Korea, kimchi soup, the famous fermented cabbage all over the world! To try Ps in the list of ingredients are missing the kimchi, to which I replaced the cabbage and the gochujang, the paste of Korean chili, which I replaced with chili
preparation
step 1
I had already moved on before by making chicken broth, simply by boiling half a chicken with bone and skin in water for 90 minutes; I then separated the meat, put the broth in the fridge and then removed the fat (the white one) when it had cooled.
step 2
this recipe requires broth. In Korea they use anchovy broth, but you can use the broth you want, the only water is not enough to create a good soup. Bring the stock to boil
step 3
Once a boil, add the sliced onion, the zucchini and the carrots cut diagonally, let it boil again
step 4
add the chicken meat. Mine is already cooked, otherwise you cook it first in the broth you use. Traditionally we use pork and tofu, but I prefer to use the leftovers I already have
step 5
The Kimchi is an iconic ingredient of South Korea (like for us, the tomato sauce). It is Chinese cabbage fermented with other vegetables and chilli, very rich in vitamins and minerals.
step 6
You can eat like this, or you can cook in the most disparate ways. This I bought has a slightly spicy and fermented taste, almost like pickle, I find it excellent
step 7
Add the whole box (120 grams 40 grams of juice, produced by fermentation) in the soup, stir and bring to a boil
step 8
another iconic ingredient in koreana cooking, the Gochujang is a spicy chili paste (not spicy or very spicy), but also sweet and with a biscuit aftertaste, due to the presence of rice flour. It can even be used as a condiment for raw vegetables
step 9
It looks like this, red, shiny, the color is scary but it is harmless :), add a spoonful of pasta to the soup. Bring to a boil 10 minutes, serve in a bowl with abundant sesame seeds and, if you have, a round of sesame oil. Enjoy your meal!
