    I used to eat this but I do not know what it's called in Korean. It's spinach soup made with soy bean paste I think... and the soup is like a light brown color. Can you post this recipe if you can? :) thank you

    Here is a recipe that you can try while we wait for Maangchi's.

    Spinach Clam Soup Recipe (Jogae Sigumchi Gook)

    20 littleneck clams (less if you are using large clams), rinsed and scrubbed
    1 pound fresh spinach, rinsed with thick stems trimmed. Chop coarsely or keep leaves intact
    5 cups water
    4 Tbsp daenjang (soybean paste)
    1 tsp myulchi karu (anchovy powder, myeolchi garu)*
    1 bunch scallions, chopped
    2 Tbsp minced garlic

    1. Blanch spinach for 30 seconds in boiling water.
    2. Drain spinach.
    3. Put 5 cups of water into large pot over high heat.
    4. Add bean paste to water gradually, using a whisk to dissolve if necessary.
    5. Add anchovy powder*, garlic, and scallions to broth and bring to a boil.
    6. Add spinach and clams and cook until clams open. Remove from heat.

    (Serves 4).

    *If you don't have or can't find anchovy powder, then you can also use a traditional Korean anchovy broth1 instead of the water. If you don't have the ingredients for that broth either, you can substitute beef broth.

    Yes, of course you can make anchovy stock.

    Here is Maanchi's recipe. Just add another cup of water and a couple more anchovies.

    In a pan, pour 4 cups of water and add 7 large dried anchovies after removing their heads and intestines. Boil the water for 10 minutes over medium heat.
