Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash and prepare all the vegetables for the cold soup. Julienne the cucumber, and thinly slice the carrot and onion into similar-sized strips. Finely chop the green onions and julienne the perilla leaves. Remove the seeds from the Cheongyang chili peppers and thinly slice them. (If you prefer spicier, you can leave the seeds in.)
Step 2
Arrange the prepared vegetables attractively in a large bowl. For the fresh abalone, separate the meat from the shell, remove the innards, and slice thinly. Slice the squid sashimi into bite-sized pieces. Place the prepared abalone and squid beautifully over the vegetables. (Slightly blanching the abalone or partially freezing it before slicing can make it more tender.)
Step 3
Now, it’s time to make the magical broth that will determine the taste of your cold soup! First, pour 240ml of Korean pear drink into the bowl. The sweet pear flavor will elevate the taste of the cold soup broth.
Step 4
Add 350ml of commercial cold noodle broth to create a cool and clean base.
Step 5
Add 1 heaping tablespoon of gochujang for a deep flavor. Gochujang adds color and umami to the broth.
Step 6
The pinnacle of sweet and sour taste! Add 7 level tablespoons of cho-gochujang. Cho-gochujang completes the signature tanginess of the cold soup.
Step 7
Add 1 tablespoon of fine gochugaru (Korean chili powder) to enhance the color and mild spiciness. (Using fine-textured gochugaru will make the broth smoother.)
Step 8
Add 1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic for a subtle aroma. (If you dislike a strong garlic flavor, reduce the amount.)
Step 9
Add 5 tablespoons of vinegar to maximize the sourness. (For an even tangier and richer flavor, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice according to your preference.)
Step 10
Finally, add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil for a nutty aroma and mix all the seasoning ingredients. Mixing all these ingredients marks the end of our cold soup broth recipe! It may seem simple, but every drop of this broth will make you feel like you’re dining at a gourmet restaurant. Here’s a pro tip: instead of stirring with a spoon, using a blender to mix everything at once will result in a much better blended and smoother broth. Now, let’s pour this delicious, finished broth over the ingredients we prepared earlier!
Step 11
And now, the Abalone Cold Soup is complete! What do you think? Doesn’t it look appetizing and delicious just by looking at it? You’ll be even more surprised by the taste once you try it!
