  • Ingredient Category : Seafood
  • Occasion : Hangover relief
  • Cooking : Boil / Simmer
  • Servings : 2 servings
  • Cooking Time : Within 15 minutes

Main Ingredients

  • 2 squid
  • 100g radish
  • 1 chili pepper (preferably Korean green chili)
  • 1/2 stalk green onion

Seasoning Ingredients

  • 600ml dried kelp broth
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce for soup
  • 1 Tbsp fish sauce (anchovy)
  • 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 Tbsp perilla oil
  • 1 Tbsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/8 Tbsp salt

Cooking Instructions

Step 1

Thinly slice the radish into 1-2mm thick pieces, or cut it into roughly 1.5cm cubes. Slicing it thinly will help it cook faster and make the process more convenient.

Step 1

Step 2

Clean the squid by removing the ink sac and cartilage, then cut it into bite-sized pieces (about 2-3cm). (You can adjust the amount of squid based on your preference; if you love squid, one per person is great!)

Step 2

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of perilla oil in a pot over medium-low heat.

Step 3

Step 4

Add the sliced radish and prepared squid to the pot. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the radish becomes slightly translucent. Sautéing beforehand enhances the savory flavor of the squid and the sweetness of the radish.

Step 4

Step 5

Once the radish and squid are sufficiently sautéed, pour in 600ml of dried kelp broth. Using kelp broth will give the soup a deeper and more refreshing flavor.

Step 5

Step 6

Now, add the seasoning ingredients to flavor the broth. Stir in 1 tablespoon of red pepper flakes, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce for soup, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, and 1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic. Using fish sauce adds an extra layer of umami.

Step 6

Step 7

For an extra kick of spiciness, add 1 Korean green chili pepper, thinly sliced diagonally after removing the seeds. If you enjoy it very spicy, you can leave the seeds in.

Step 7

Step 8

Finally, add 1/2 stalk of green onion, sliced diagonally, and bring the soup to a gentle boil. You’ll notice a delicious aroma as the ingredients meld together.

Step 8

Step 9

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with 1/8 tablespoon of salt if needed. (The flavors from the radish, squid, and seasonings are often sufficient, but adjust according to your personal preference.)

Step 9

Step 10

Bring it to a final boil, and your deep, refreshing Squid and Radish Soup is ready! Enjoy it while it’s hot. ^_^
