In a scene of the latest Kdrama they were talking about this soup, so I had to try it. I just added steamed dumplings at the end. Delicious recipe and so pretty. Finally having a grill bbq with a friend tonight in a park and made a few side dishes, so tried two of them with kimchi as side dishes. You’ll notice that instead of sesame seeds there are toasted white poppy seeds in the side dishes, that’s because my friend is allergic to sesame seeds (sesame oil is fine), toasted white poppy seeds work as a substitute…. Not as good, but they give a slightly nutty taste and texture.
