Step 3
These are the ingredients prepared for today’s bean sprout soup.
Step 4
First, thinly slice the green onion after washing it thoroughly. Separate the white and green parts; the white parts add a subtle sweetness to the broth, while the green parts can be used as a garnish.
Step 5
Cut the Korean green chili peppers in half lengthwise and carefully remove the seeds. If you enjoy a spicier kick, you can leave some seeds in, but for a cleaner flavor, it’s best to remove them.
Step 6
Finely mince the deseeded green chili peppers. Their spicy aroma will enhance the soup’s overall flavor profile.
Step 7
Add the washed bean sprouts and 1 liter (L) of water to a pot. Bean sprouts release a lot of refreshing liquid, so using a generous amount of water is recommended.
Step 8
Place the pot on the stove over high heat. Once the water begins to boil, add the seafood broth pack to create a flavorful base. If you don’t have a seafood broth pack, a dashi broth made with anchovies and kelp works wonderfully too.
Step 9
Let the broth simmer with the pack for about 5-10 minutes until the flavors have fully infused, then remove and discard the broth pack. Removing all solids is key to achieving a clear and refreshing soup.
Step 10
Once the broth is ready, add the bean sprouts. A crucial tip for preventing any ‘fishy’ smell and keeping the sprouts crisp is to cover the pot immediately after adding them.
Step 11
Keep the lid on and simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the bean sprouts, as they can become mushy. Aim for a tender-crisp texture. You can lift the lid briefly to check their doneness.
Step 12
Now it’s time to season the soup to perfection. Start by adding the soy sauce for soup, which adds a subtle depth and umami.
Step 13
Add 1/2 tablespoon of soy sauce for soup and taste the broth. Then, use taste salt to adjust the seasoning to your preference. Using only soy sauce can sometimes make the soup look cloudy, so taste salt is a great alternative for balancing the flavor and color.
Step 14
Stir in 2 teaspoons of taste salt and mix well. You can adjust the amount of salt based on your taste. It’s helpful to taste the soup with a chopstick as you season.
Step 15
Finally, add 2 tablespoons of minced garlic. This will contribute a refreshing and clean taste, adding another layer of complexity to the soup.
Step 16
For the finishing touch, garnish the soup with the sliced green onions and minced Korean green chili peppers. The freshness of the green onions and the subtle heat from the chilies will elevate the bean sprout soup to another level.
Step 17
The soup is now beautifully simmering, with vibrant colors from the green onions and chilies creating an appealing visual. This warm broth is truly appetizing!
Step 18
Now it’s time to serve the perfectly cooked bean sprout soup into individual bowls. Make sure to ladle in plenty of bean sprouts and the delicious broth.
Step 19
Here it is – a wonderfully refreshing bean sprout soup that promises to soothe and satisfy! 🙂 The clear broth and crisp bean sprouts look absolutely delicious.
