1

Prepare 3 pieces of dried kelp and 15 anchovies for the broth.

Add 2 cups of cold water to a pot with the kelp and anchovies.

Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

Add 2 tablespoons of soybean paste and 1 tablespoon of fish sauce to the broth.
