Serves 4

Ingredients

Dashi broth
4 cups
Soy sauce
3 tablespoons
Mirin
2 tablespoons
Sugar
1 teaspoon
Sesame oil
1 tablespoon
Fish cake slices
8 oz
Green onions
2, chopped
Seaweed flakes
1 tablespoon

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, bring the dashi broth to a rapid boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and add the soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Stir well until the sugar has dissolved and the flavors meld together.
  3. Carefully add the fish cake slices to the pot. Allow them to simmer for about 10 minutes, absorbing the delicious broth.
  4. Using a slotted spoon, remove the fish cake slices from the pot and set them aside on a plate.
  5. Add the chopped green onions and seaweed flakes to the broth. Let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to deepen.
  6. Return the fish cake slices to the pot and simmer for another 5 minutes to warm them through.
  7. Before serving, drizzle the sesame oil over the soup for an extra layer of flavor.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with additional green onions or seaweed flakes if desired, and enjoy!

Tips

  • 💡 For a spicier version, add a splash of gochujang (Korean red chili paste) or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
  • 💡 Feel free to add vegetables such as radish or bok choy to the broth for added nutrition and flavor.
  • 💡 Odeng is best enjoyed immediately, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
