Fish Cake Soup - Properly Made Broth Changes Everything

Steps

1. 1

   Place 2L of water, dried shrimp, dried anchovies, 2 dried shiitake mushrooms, radish pieces, and kelp in a pot and bring to a boil over high heat.

2. 2

   Once it begins to boil, remove the kelp first, then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer gently for 20 minutes.

3. 3

   Remove all broth ingredients and cut the radish into thin rectangular pieces (nabak cut).

4. 4

   Add dark soy sauce, tuna sauce, and mirin to the broth, then add the sliced radish and bring to a boil.

5. 5

   While the radish cooks, boil water in a kettle and pour hot water over the fish cakes placed in a strainer to wash away excess oil.

6. 6

   Once the radish is cooked through, add fish cakes, green onion, and crown daisy, then season with sea salt to taste.
