Chueo-tang
Chueo-tang, also known as Chueotang or Loach Soup, is a traditional Korean dish made with loach fish. The loach fish is simmered with various ingredients like vegetables, garlic, ginger, and spices to create a savory and aromatic broth.
Ingredients
- 1 pound loach fish (cleaned and gutted)
- 4 cups water
- 1 onion (sliced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 thumb-sized ginger (sliced)
- 2 green onions (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- cilantro or parsley chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the loach fish under cold water to clean them thoroughly. If you prefer, you can also soak them in cold water with a pinch of salt for about 15 minutes to remove any impurities. Drain well.
- In a large pot, add the water, sliced onion, minced garlic, and sliced ginger. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, carefully add the cleaned loach fish to the pot. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, skimming off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface.
- Add the soy sauce, fish sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well and continue simmering for another 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Finally, drizzle the sesame oil and add the chopped green onions to the pot. Give it a gentle stir and simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
- Remove the pot from heat and ladle the Chueo-tang into individual serving bowls. Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley if desired.
