STEP 1/9
Put the frozen eel in cold water for half a dayAfter defrosting it for a day, wash it clean, put it in a large pot, pour water to soak it, and boil it for 3 to 4 hours
First, boil it over high heat for an hour, then boil it over medium low heat for 2-3 hours until the bones break
After cooling down, mash the eel bones and flesh in a fine sieve and filter them out
You can grind it finely in a blender and filter it out, but I was lazy about that too, so I roughly filtered it out
STEP 2/9
The boiled eel has turned into a milky broth like beef bone broth
STEP 3/9
Boil it in advance, freeze it, and then slice it into small pieces. Add soybean paste/red pepper powder/minced garlic/soy sauce/red pepper powder and mix it well
STEP 4/9
Prepare perilla leaves, chili peppers, and green onions and wash the bean sprouts
Mix perilla powder in water beforehand
*It's not in the picture, but I soaked dried saesongi mushroom and put it in
If you don't have anything to dry, you can cut it raw and put it in
STEP 5/9
No.2. Put the sea eel soup in a pot (I added 1.5L of water because it's thick) When it boils up, add the seasoned cabbage cabbage and add the cheongyang pepper/green onion cut and boil for 20 minutes
STEP 6/9
Add bean sprouts and perilla leaves and boil for 5 more minutes
STEP 7/9
Lastly, add the perilla powder and mix it gently. Boil it for 5 minutes
STEP 8/9
Look at the final seasoning and add soy sauce or salt if you need more
STEP 9/9
Maybe it's because there's no fishy/nourish/miscellaneous smell, but the kids think it's just a beggar's soup and they eat it so wellHah!
I didn't say it on purpose because I thought you wouldn't eat it if you thought it had sea eel in it
The process of making it is a bit cumbersome, but considering nutrition, taste, and health, I should buy it from time to time and eat it
If you like jeffi/sancho powder, you can add it
