Fried fish cake soup is a street food in Korea. This warm tasty soup is especially good in the cold winter. This soup tastes even better with some Korean snacks like ddeokbokki or kimbap. Try this easy and delicious soup with your family someday. Thanks.

I love fish cake soup. This was so delicious. I’m a big soup and stew fan. Can you name/post some more everyday korean soups? Ones that are commonly eaten at home like 무 국.

Hi Aeri,
Can I replace sea salt with table salt? If so, how much should I use?
Thank you and I love your videos!
hi Lisa,
I will say just use same amount of salt.. 1/8 tsp salt..since it’s not that much.. and you can always adjust the amount of saltiness depending on your flavor.. after add that salt.. if it’s too salty for you.. add some water.. hehe thanks
Happy New Year Aeri, Thank you for the wonderful and beautiful recipes!
