Yeah, I would use more salt like Maangchi said or I would use thin soy sauce in place of the fish sauce. Sometimes I cook for people who don’t like seafood (this drives me crazy, but that’s a different story) and I use the soy instead. Thin soy sauce, sometimes called ‘light soy sauce’, is a soy sauce that is lighter in color than regular soy sauce, so it is good to use in soup if you do not want to change the color. Do not take the word ‘light’ to mean ‘low sodium’, it refers to the color only and this soy sauce is actually a little saltier than regular soy, I think. Anyway, if you want you can substitute two tablespoons of thin soy sauce for the fish sauce and then add the the teaspoon of salt that it calls for in the recipe.

Yes, you can modify the recipe to your taste. Use less fish sauce and add more salt then.

Hi Maangchi! I followed your recipe and it was very tasty but I found the fish sauce taste to overpower the whole soup. Do you recommend to decrease the recipe amount of 2 Tablespoons or do you have another ingredient instead of fish sauce? Thanks!

I made this last night and added some squash that I had to it as well. For a little extra kick I added some SAMBAL. It was very good. Thanks to you I am able to cook the Korean food that my daughter used to only get when she visited her mom. Please keep doing what you are doing!
