In a medium pot, combine the vegetable broth, chopped kimchi, gochujang, and soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

03

While the soup is simmering, slowly pour the beaten eggs into the simmering broth in a thin stream, stirring gently with a fork or chopsticks to create delicate egg ribbons.

04

Cook for 1-2 minutes until the egg is set.

05

Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the sesame oil.

06

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions before serving immediately.

Chef's Tips

For extra depth of flavor, you can sauté a clove of minced garlic and a teaspoon of grated ginger in a little oil before adding the broth. Adjust the amount of gochujang to your preferred spice level.
↔

Easy Substitutions

If you don't have gochujang, you can use sriracha or another chili paste, though the flavor profile will be slightly different. For a richer broth, use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth. Add a handful of spinach or sliced mushrooms for extra vegetables.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. The egg ribbons may break down slightly upon reheating.
