I'm so glad you added the tips on how to use the fish sauce. I don't like to use the dried fish at all. Fish sauce is something that I will use for this recipe. Thanks so much for your post and tips!


Thanks for the recipe, it's very easy and I love that you added the pictures. I have this soup saved on my file and will plan on using it very soon. . . .



Oh thank you for posting this! I haven't had kongnamul guk since I was in Korea, and that was over 10 years ago!

I can't wait to make this. :)

If you don't have the anchovy or kelp in handy, you can use a fish sauce instead of anchovy.
HOW?
Put the washed bean sprouts in the water, cover and boil.
When it starts boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook 7-10 minutes more.
Open the cover, add garlic and 1-11/2 Tbsp of fish sauce. Mix well and taste it.
If desired, add more salt.
Add green onion; quickly boil again and turn the heat off. Serve with Rice and Kimchi.
