Korean style Kuksi soup with chicken

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Let's prepare the entire set of ingredients for kuksi in Korean according to the list. Chicken fillet, greens, wash vegetables, peel onions and carrots.

2. STEP 2

   

   Let's prepare the broth; to do this, pour 1.5 liters of water into the chicken fillet and put the pan on the fire. When the water boils, skim off the foam, add half a teaspoon of salt and cook for 40 minutes over low heat.

3. STEP 3

   

   Next, prepare the sautéed vegetables. To do this, cut the onion into cubes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Carrots into three small strips on a Korean carrot grater.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan, add carrots and onions, add spices for Korean carrots and sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes until soft.

6. STEP 6

   

   After 5 minutes, squeeze the garlic into the carrots through a press, stir and turn off the heat.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the carrots sautéed with onions and garlic on a plate and leave to cool.

8. STEP 8

   

   Then we prepare the omelette. Break the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and beat lightly until smooth.

9. STEP 9

   

   Pour the omelette mixture into a heated frying pan greased with vegetable oil and fry thin omelettes, like pancakes, over medium heat, about a minute on each side. Two eggs make 2 thin omelettes.

10. STEP 10

    

    Then we roll the omelettes into tubes.

11. STEP 11

    

    We cut the rolled omelettes crosswise to create long noodles.

12. STEP 12

    

    During this time, the chicken fillet and broth have cooked, remove the pan from the stove, remove the fillet from the broth and transfer it to a plate to cool.

13. STEP 13

    

    Cook the spaghetti in salted water for 3 minutes, then drain in a colander and rinse with cold boiled water.

14. STEP 14

    

    Next, prepare the vegetables that go into the soup raw. Shred the cabbage thinly, as if for a salad.

15. STEP 15

    

    Pour soy sauce and vinegar into the shredded cabbage and stir.

16. STEP 16

    

    Just like carrots, chop the cucumber into thin strips.

17. STEP 17

    

    Finely chop all the greens: dill, basil, cilantro and green onions.

18. STEP 18

    

    Cut the tomato into small pieces.

19. STEP 19

    

    Cut the boiled chicken fillet into large cubes or slices.

20. STEP 20

    

    Now let's start arranging the kuksi into portions. We take deep bowls for soup and put spaghetti on the bottom of each. Place pieces of meat on top of the spaghetti.

21. STEP 21

    

    Sprinkle the meat and spaghetti with herbs and pour in the broth.

22. STEP 22

    

    Now arrange the remaining ingredients in separate piles, filling the plate to the top. Don't mix. Sprinkle sesame seeds and herbs on top. Korean kuksi is ready, serve it immediately on the table as a cold appetizer.

I wanted pasta, but without “heavy” sauces. Cold Korean soup Kuksi with chicken is the same as okroshka. On a warm summer day it couldn’t be more relevant. Only the proposed version of the recipe seemed to me to be suitable for cold weather. I replaced the broth with a cold marinade, used fresh, seasonal vegetables. I put carrots and cabbage in the marinade an hour before serving. All! A light dinner is ready: more marinade - soup, no marinade - salad. For family and friendly gatherings with barbecue. Thanks to the author for the detailed recipe, when it gets colder I’ll definitely cook it according to the original source
