Ingredients

  • 250 g (1⅓ cups) plain flour, sifted
  • 60 ml (¼ cup) vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp gochujang (see Note)
  • 1 litre fish stock
  • 1 piece kelp (see Note)
  • 8 dried anchovies
  • 2 potatoes, peeled, chopped
  • ½ cup kimchi (see Note), chopped
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • ½ tsp sesame oil
  • thinly sliced spring onions, to serve
Resting time 1 hr

Instructions

Place flour, 150 ml water, 2 tbsp oil and 2 tsp salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. Knead for 6 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tbsp oil in a large deep saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Stir in gochujang and cook for 1 minute, then add fish stock, 500 ml water, kelp and anchovies and simmer for 5 minutes. Add potatoes and kimchi and simmer for 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

Divide dough into 2 pieces. Working with one piece at a time, stretch out and pull off thin 5cm-long pieces from ball of dough, to create torn rag-like nooodles, and drop into hot stock. Repeat with remaining dough. Cook for 5 minutes or until noodles are opaque and cooked. Season with salt and pepper. Stir through soy sauce and sesame oil and serve scattered with spring onions.

Note

• Gochujang is a Korean red pepper paste. Gochujang, kimchi and kelp are from Korean food shops and select Asian food shops.
