Soup, we meet again. You know I can't stay away for long. You're thrifty, you're versatile in so many ways, and you really taught me the basics of what flavour goes with what.
I also love how you can take pretty much any recipe and create a soup version. And if I flick through a cookbook and don't have all the right ingredients, I do throw whatever I have in it instead.
OK, this hasn't always gone well, but I've learnt from my mistakes.
Today's recipe did actually teach me a valuable lesson, too. Don't be lazy when it comes to prawns and leave them in to cook. Why, you ask? You get hard rubbery bullets. Not the best to chew on.
So, make sure you cook them first, hold them back and add them at the end. And while I'm still on the topic of Korean food (I'm still working my way through Da-Hae West's cookbook, K Food), this recipe was adapted from her Pork & Tofu soup.
It is so yummy!
I think my favourite friend in this soup is the red pepper powder (Gochugaru) and a little goes a long way. It's a comforting familiar taste in many an instant noodle pot I've eaten in my teens, but the beauty is, I know exactly what I've put in this.
And some more great news - it takes 10 minutes to cook in a multi cooker, it's soup maker friendly (and of course, still perfect in a pan). And if you want, why not add some noodles at the end as I did with left overs?
