Recipe: Kim Chi Soup

Ingredients:
  1. 1 small bowl of kim chi (with gravy)
  2. 1 carrot (thick julienne cut)
  3. 1 potato (thick julienne cut)
  4. 1 clove of garlic (finely chopped)
  5. 1 Tbsp olive oil
  6. 2 1/2 small bowls of water

Optional ingredients (pick your own preference):

  1. Veges: oyster mushroom, golden needle mushroom, califlower
  2. Meat: 1/2 can of tuna in salt water (drained and flaked), sausage, beef strips, ham

Steps:

  1. Heat the pot with olive oil.
  2. Stir fry garlic, carrot and potato until mildly cooked (about 1 - 2 minutes).
  3. Add in kim chi (with gravy) and water.
  4. Shimmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Add in optional ingredients.
  6. Season with salt when the optional ingredients are fully cooked.
Tips:
  1. You can substitute salt and tuna with 1/4 chicken cube if you don't like the fishy taste.
  2. The taste of the kim chi soup might vary (depends on the kim chi used). So, better buy it from some Korean mart.
