This dried seaweed soup ( 김국) is one of my favorite Korean soups. I loved to eat this soup when I was little. It is very easy to make, so I used to make it by myself when my mom was not at home. Sometime ago, I got a big box of Korean food from Sempio. I tried some of their products for this recipe and the result was good. I am happy to share this recipe with you. Try this delicious soup someday that only takes a few minutes to make.

This spicy chicken noodle soup is a different version of jjambbong. Since my husband doesn’t eat much seafood, I made a similar noodle dish using chicken instead of seafood like jjambbong. Fortunately, my husband liked it and I wanted to share this recipe with you. Like my other recipes, the homemade broth gives the soup great flavor – artificial seasonings cannot beat it. It has a good combination ingredients and nutrients.

Extra soft tofu soup, soondubu jjigae, is the most popular recipe request I received from people. It was amazing to get so many requests. This proves that many people from the world like this soup. The broth is spicy and matches great with the extra soft tofu. With the same basic seasonings as this soup, you can choose your own variety. You can use only beef, or clam. You can also use both as I did in this recipe. The kimchi is optional. I’m very happy with this recipe, so I hope you like this too.
