Spicy Korean Noodle Soup Recipes

SLOW COOKER SPICY SHORT-RIB NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Remove any silver skin from the surface of the short ribs, and then make 2 cuts across the grain, through the meat down to the bone. (See how-to photo.) Put the ribs in the slow cooker.
• Whisk together the broth, soy, sugar, ginger, chile paste, sesame oil, garlic, and scallion whites. Pour over the ribs. Cover and cook on HIGH for 6 hours.
• About 30 minutes before serving, put the rice noodles in a bowl with hot water to cover. Soak until tender and pliable, about 30 minutes.
• Skim any fat that may collect on top of the beef broth and discard.
• Divide the noodles among 6 large shallow bowls and ladle the broth over top. (Cut the meat from the ribs if desired.) Divide the meat evenly among the bowls. Garnish as desired with the carrots, cucumber, cilantro, lime and the remaining green parts of the scallion and more chile paste, if desired.

A SPICY KOREAN NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Begin boiling noodles (or if you prefer, finish boiling these first).
• Place chopped cabbage/kale into a stock pot and saute with soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil and chili pepper flakes until your cabbage is clear or kale has wilted.
• Immediately add the chicken soup stock and bring to boil.
• Reduce heat and add in sweet chili sauce to taste. (If you want a big kick (or you're mad at someone, add the Japanes Chilis).
• Add in chicken or beef. DO NOT ADD Shrimp or Tofu at this step.
• Bring back to a simmer.
• Beat Egg, then stream into soup.
• After 15 minutes add in noodls.
• Finally, add tofu or shrimp.
• Top with Scallions and Salt and Pepper as desire.

KOREAN BEEF NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Cut the brisket into two or more pieces against the grain, so that the grain is about 2 inches in length. Season with salt and pepper and mix with the garlic, soy, and sugar. Turn to coat all sides.
• Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and add the oils. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 7 minutes.
• Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until aromatic, stirring frequently. Add the brisket, water, the anchovies, kombu, and scallion whites. Bring to a boil, then turn to a simmer until the brisket is fork tender, about 3½ hours, adding water as necessary to keep the meat submerged.
• Remove the meat and shred into bite-sized pieces. Remove and discard the kombu. For the broth, add the fish sauce and soy sauce to the cooking liquid. Taste and add more sugar, salt and pepper as needed. Add the daikon and bring back to a boil. Add the zucchini and bring back to a boil.
• In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil; add enough salt to make the water as "salty as seawater." Add udon noodles to reheat according to package instructions. Divide the udon among 4 soup bowls; then top with the shredded meat, broth, and cooked vegetables. Garnish with scallion greens and serve immediately.

KOREAN SPICY CLAM SOUP WITH NOODLES

• Meanwhile, in a separate 3 qt pot, mix clam juice, water, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic chili sauce, sugar, salt, ancho chili powder and daikon radish over medium high heat.
• When clam juice mixture reaches a boil, add in clams in shells. Cook until shells open. Discard any that don't open after about 3 minutes.
• Add spinach and green onions and cook about 1 minute, or until spinach wilts.
• Place cooked pasta in serving bowls and ladle soup with clams over pasta. Serve.
