Tips:

  • Use fresh seafood: Fresh seafood is essential for this soup, as it will give it the best flavor. If you can't find fresh seafood, you can use frozen seafood, but make sure to thaw it completely before using it.
  • Don't overcook the seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and chewy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to this soup. Feel free to use any vegetables that you like, but some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and mushrooms.
  • Use a good-quality broth: The broth is the base of this soup, so it's important to use a good-quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or fish broth. If you're using chicken or vegetable broth, you may want to add some fish sauce or shrimp paste to give it a more seafood flavor.
  • Season the soup to taste: This soup should be spicy, but not too spicy. Start with a small amount of gochujang and gochugaru, and then add more to taste.
  • Serve the soup with rice or noodles: This soup is typically served with rice or noodles. You can also serve it with a side of kimchi.
