Made the radish soup using Korean radish. I used fish sauce to season the soup. It was easy to make fast and delicious. Your recipe is a five star rating.
I also made potato soup, oh so good and comforting on a cold night.

Hello Hyson,
My name is E Hassoon, Sonia is my american name. I don’t eat a lot of Korean food these days because I can’t read korean ingredients at all so i feel, I am blindly selecting unhealthy prepared food in the store. That is why I wish, I can make one of my favorite dish (homemade broth) for buckwheat vermicelli cold noodle soup. It’s my favorite dish besides rice cake soup and some. Can You Help Me? I would love to eat more Korean food. I hope you have some suggestions for me, what type of spices to buy so I can enjoy OUR traditional food.
Thank you SO MUCH in advance.
Sonia
