Method
 

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Soup Base Ingredients
  2. Gather all the ingredients for the soup base. Measure out the gochugaru, minced garlic, sugar, soy sauce, dark mushroom soy sauce, Chinese black vinegar, white pepper, and sesame seeds. Having everything prepped and ready to go will make the cooking process smoother and more efficient.
  3. Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
  4. In a heatproof bowl, combine the gochugaru (or chili powder), minced garlic, and sugar. This mixture will form the base of the spicy and savory flavor profile. Make sure the bowl is heatproof, as you'll be pouring hot oil over it.
  5. Step 3: Prepare the Dumplings and Noodles
  6. Take the frozen dumplings out of the freezer and set them aside. Prepare your noodles of choice. If using dry noodles, measure out one portion (about 60g). If using fresh noodles, ensure they are ready to be cooked.
  7. Step 4: Chop the Toppings
  8. Chop the green onions or coriander for topping. If you’re using crispy fried shallots, have them ready as well. Fresh toppings add a burst of freshness and flavor to the finished dish.
  9. Step 5: Set Up Your Cooking Station
  10. Have all your ingredients within easy reach. Place the heatproof bowl with the dry ingredients near the stove. Keep the dumplings, noodles, and toppings nearby for easy access when assembling the soup.
