Cucumber Soup Korean

Pinterent    Agustus 17, 2023    Comment   

Cold cucumber soup (Oi Naengguk, 오이냉국) is a very popular Korean summer soup. It has a slightly salty, sweet and tangy vinegary taste.

I’ve been testing this recipe over and over since last spring (northern hemisphere fall/winter) and I’m finally sharing it with you! It has everything your spring/summer needs. THE BALANCE!

1. Soak the dried seaweed in some cold water until hydrated (5 to 10 mins). Drain and squeeze out the water from the seaweed. Set it aside. If your dried seaweed is not already cut into bite sized pieces, cut them now with scissors. I always buy pre-cut dried seaweed for convenience.

3.Add the cucumber and water into the bowl. Stir well. Garnish with sesame seeds and red chili (optional).Serve cold. (Some people like adding ice blocks, but I don’t like adding them as it dilutes the soup and you will have to re-balance the taste later. If you use chilled water, you won’t need to balance the taste.) It can be stored in the fridge for a few days.

Oi Naeng Guk (Korean Cold Cucumber soup) reminds me of my years in Florida because this was the first soup I learned to make as a newly wed. Summers in Florida was so hot that even someone like me kind of lost their appetite.
