Most Korean soups need dried anchovies to make broth. If somebody doesn’t like strong anchovy flavor, like me, you can use this instead of real anchovies. It looks like a tea bag, but in the bag is dried anchovy powder. When you make broth with it, you can taste that it is milder than real anchovies. It is also convenient to use, because it is individually wrapped, and easy to remove from your broth after boiling.

I’m very happy to meet you.
I got mine from a Korean grocery store. Try to find it there. if they don’t have this anchovy pack.. you can buy dried anchovies instead. thanks..
Hi!
Please tell me how many of the regular dried anchovies should I substitute for 1 dried anchovy pack when I make soup broth? Thank you!
hi Kieu,
It will be depending on your dried anchovy size and depending on the recipe..but usually I will say.. 1 pack can be replace with 6 to 7 medium sized dried anchovies…. or 3-4 big size anchovies for soup…
