Treat your ingredients with care...
- Fermented skate — Make sure to clean the skate thoroughly before slicing it. This will help remove any excess odor and ensure a clean taste in the soup.
- Gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) — Adjust the amount according to your spice preference. Add more for a spicier soup or reduce the quantity for a milder version.
- Gochujang (Korean red pepper paste) — Look for a high-quality gochujang to enhance the flavor of the soup. If unavailable, you can substitute it with a mixture of miso paste and chili powder.
Tips & Tricks
- For a heartier version, you can add tofu or mushrooms to the soup.
- Adjust the spiciness by adding more or less gochugaru and gochujang.
- Serve the Honghap Tang with a side of steamed rice to balance the flavors.
- If you prefer a clearer broth, strain the soup before serving.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The flavors will continue to develop, making it even more delicious the next day.
Serving advice
Honghap Tang is best enjoyed as a main course, served with a bowl of steamed rice. Garnish each bowl with additional green onions and chili slices for added freshness and visual appeal.
Presentation advice
To present the Honghap Tang beautifully, ladle the soup into individual bowls, making sure to distribute the seafood and vegetables evenly. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped green onions and a few slices of red and green chili peppers. Serve the soup hot, allowing the vibrant colors and enticing aroma to captivate your guests.
