Description

A bold, comforting soup blending miso, kimchi, and silky egg ribbons with garlic and chili oil for a quick, flavorful meal.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Soup:

  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons miso paste
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

For Thickening:

  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

For Finishing:

  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 3/4 cup kimchi, chopped if needed
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons chili oil
  • 2 tablespoons sliced green onions, optional
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Pour the vegetable broth into a medium saucepan and set it over medium heat. Whisk in the miso paste until smooth.
  2. Stir in the sesame oil, white pepper, ground ginger, and minced garlic. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the water and cornstarch until fully smooth. Slowly pour this mixture into the soup while stirring. Let it cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the broth is slightly thickened.
  4. Reduce the heat to low. Slowly drizzle in the beaten eggs while gently stirring the soup in one direction. This will create soft egg ribbons.
  5. Add the kimchi and let it warm through for 1 to 2 minutes.
  6. Remove the soup from the heat and stir in the chili oil.
  7. Taste and add salt only if needed. Ladle into bowls, top with green onions if using, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Adjust chili oil to control spice level.
  • Use high-quality kimchi for the best flavor.
  • Stir eggs slowly for delicate ribbons.
