Instructions

  1. Season the soup

    Bring the soup to a gentle simmer with the garlic. Season with soy sauce and pepper. The base should stay clean, since the mandu already bring kimchi and salt.

  2. Cook the mandu ⏱ 7 min

    Put the Son Mandu straight from the freezer into the gently simmering broth. Swirl the pot gently, without tearing the wrappers, and cook until the center is fully hot.

  3. Add the egg

    Lower the heat and pour the beaten egg in a thin stream. Wait a few seconds, then stir the soup gently to get ribbons, not scattered bits.

  4. Finish

    Turn off the heat, add the sesame oil and half of the spring onions. Taste before adding any more soy sauce.

  5. Serve

    Divide the mandu and broth into bowls. Add nori, the rest of the spring onions and a little Sriracha, just for those who want more heat.

Good to know

Keep the simmer gentle so the wrapper doesn't tear. The timer starts once the soup returns to a gentle simmer. Mandu contain gluten, soy, sesame and mustard.
