Hi everyone! Hope you are having a great weekend. Last Wednesday was a holiday (Labour Day) for us here. We had breakfast outside, i told my kids we are having lunch at home and we are having Korean style soup. They are excited and curious what type of Korean soup is mummy going to cook :D
Soy bean is a staple in my hubby's home. My parent in law were in homebase 'tofu' business for 30 over years and now the business was pass down to my eldest brother in law. They make all types of tofu like; block bean curd, yellow bean curd, silken bean curd and tofu puff as well. (My father-in-law and the beancurd story was in the borneo post press here )
We cooked with tofu and soy bean sprout very often. Some of the tofu dish i cooked are here, here, here, here My family love soy bean products, how about yours? The soy bean products are simply tasty and healthy. For us our tofu are always home made so why not having it often ;p When i saw this Korean Soy Bean Sprout Soup i smile, when i read the recipe it is not much different from the soy bean sprout soup we use to cook at home. The korean style uses anchovy broth and we uses pork ribs broth.
The soup is simply fabulous with the sweetness of the anchovies broth and the nutty flavour of the soy bean sprout when you chew into it.

4 - 5 medium to large anchovies for the broth (mine are medium to small)
1/2 garlic clove, thinly sliced
1 scallion, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
3 cups of water
To Do:
- In a medium size sauce pan bring 3 cups of water with the anchovies and garlic to boil, uncovered. Reduce the heat to medium high and boil uncovered for 5-6 minutes. Remove the garlic and the anchovies from the broth.
- Rinse the soybean sprouts a couple of times, discard any skin floating.
- Add the bean sprouts and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and boil, covered, for 3-4 minutes over medium heat. Do not open the lid while the bean sprouts are being cooked or the raw bean smell will linger even after cooked. Once kongnamul is cooked, taste for salt and pepper. The amount of salt needed at this point will depends on your salt and taste. Add the scallion and serve.
I use local anchovies (ikan bilis) to cook this soup. |
Enjoy! |
