Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, oil, and water. Knead by hand for 5-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic film and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes (this makes it stretchier).

  2. 2

    Bring the anchovy-kelp broth to a rolling boil in a large pot. Add the soup soy sauce, potato chunks, and onion slices. Boil for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Take the rested dough in one hand. Wet your other hand slightly, stretch a piece of dough until it is paper-thin, and tear off a bite-sized flake directly into the boiling broth.

  4. 4

    Work quickly to tear the entire ball of dough into the pot. Stir gently so the flakes do not stick together.

  5. 5

    Add the sliced zucchini and boil for another 5 minutes until all the dough flakes float to the top and turn slightly translucent.

  6. 6

    Garnish with chopped scallions and a drizzle of sesame oil. Serve steaming hot with fresh kimchi.
