• 200g fresh fish roe
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon gochugaru (Korean red chili flakes)
• 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 liter water or fish broth
• 1 block tofu, cut into cubes (optional)
• 1 zucchini, sliced (optional)
• 1 green onion, sliced
• 1 red chili, sliced (for garnish)
• Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Fish Roe:
• Clean the fish roe gently under running water to remove any debris. Be careful not to break the roe sacs. Set aside.
2. Sauté Aromatics:
• Heat a pot over medium heat and add sesame oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and onions, sautéing until fragrant and the onions become translucent.
3. Add Chili Flavors:
• Stir in gochugaru (chili flakes) and gochujang (chili paste), cooking for a minute to release their flavors.
4. Create the Broth:
• Add the water or fish broth to the pot. Bring the liquid to a boil and season with soy sauce, salt, and pepper.
5. Add Vegetables (Optional):
• If using, add sliced zucchini and tofu cubes to the broth. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables soften.
6. Cook the Fish Roe:
• Gently add the fish roe to the pot, simmering for about 5-8 minutes. The roe will firm up and cook through. Avoid stirring too much to prevent breaking the roe sacs.
7. Adjust Seasoning:
• Taste the soup and adjust the salt or chili heat to your liking. You can add more gochugaru or soy sauce if needed.
8. Garnish and Serve:
• Garnish the soup with sliced green onions and red chili. Serve hot with rice or noodles, as shown in the image.
