Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix salt into the flour, knead into a dough, and let it rest.

  2. 2

    Roast the dried pollock head, then place it in cold water and boil to make a broth. Strain the broth through cheesecloth.

  3. 3

    Pour the broth from step 2 into a pot and add half of the bean sprouts. When it comes to a boil, dissolve in the gochujang and red pepper flakes and continue boiling.

  4. 4

    Roll out the rested sujebi dough, cook it in a separate pot of boiling water, and drain.

  5. 5

    Add the cooked sujebi from step 4 to the soup from step 3 and bring it to a brief boil.

  6. 6

    Add the remaining bean sprouts to finish.

Ingredient substitutions

Soybean sprouts
Mung bean sprouts are thinner and cook faster.
Gochujang
Combine miso, gochugaru, and a little sweetener for a functional substitute. It will not reproduce the same fermented flavor.
All-purpose flour
A gluten-free flour blend may work, with a different texture.
Gochugaru
Aleppo pepper is a gentler substitute; crushed red pepper works but is usually sharper and hotter.
Salt
Soy sauce can add saltiness but also changes color and flavor.
