Seaweed & King Oyster Mushroom In Fermented Bean Curd Soup

This is a super easy soup that was invented by yours truly. I was hooked with fermented bean curd (thanks to my dad), Korean dramas and healthy eating. So I took all these and made them into a soup recipe. 😛 You may like it or err… maybe not. Why don’t you try it and tell me? Hehe

Seaweed & king oyster mushroom in fermented bean curd soup.

My ingredients are super simple too. Mainly they are seaweed, mushroom and carrot. Feel free to add tofu or bean curd if you have them. My broth is made of fermented bean curd. Nothing Korean about this. Haha

First thing first, roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic.

Then slice carrot into matchsticks and chop king oyster mushroom (also known as eryngii) into square pieces.

In a saucepan, boil 700ml of water.

Seaweed bought from 100 Yen shop. It’s dried naturally. I boiled it beforehand.

Add a handful of seaweed into boiling water.

Take a piece of fermented chili bean curd and add to the broth. Ohmy they’re calling me! Use the same spoon and mash the bean curd block.

Also add 1 tablespoon of the sauce to the broth.

Let the broth come to a boil again.

Lastly add carrot and oyster mushroom. Let the broth come into boil for 1 last time.

Oh yummy yummy yummy…
Must eat it hot ya.
Super healthy soup. 🙂
