Often described as light yet flavorful, this versatile broth serves as the foundation for various Korean dishes such as soups, stews, and sauces, including the beloved myeolchi guksu (멸치 국수) (anchovy noodle soup) and doenjang jjigae (된장찌개) (soybean paste stew).

How to Make Korean Anchovy Broth (멸치 육수 만드는 방법):

  1. Prepare the dried anchovies (멸치 준비하기):
    Remove the heads and guts from the dried anchovies for a cleaner taste. If the anchovies are too large, chop them into smaller pieces for easier consumption.

  2. Boil the anchovies (멸치 끓이기):
    Pour water into a pot and add the prepared dried anchovies.
    냄비에 물을 붓고 준비한 멸치를 넣어주세요.

  3. Simmer for flavor (국물 끓이기):

    물이 끓기 시작하면 멸치의 향이 퍼지기 시작합니다. 불을 약하게 줄이고 약 20분간 더 끓여 멸치의 풍미가 국물에 충분히 배도록 하세요.
