Korean Hand-Torn Noodle Soup (Sujebi)

I'm a sucker for mostly all Korean flour-based dishes. It just tastes so good and it's very homey! All you really need are just flour, water, and salt. Below is the recipe for one of my fav Korean dishes, Sujebi or Hand-Torn Noodle Soup. Enjoy!

Recipe inspired by Maangchi

Directions:

1. In a bowl, combine flour, oil, water, and salt and slightly mix with a spoon

2. With cleanly washed damp hand, remove the mix on the spoon into the bowl, and knead the mixture by hand for ~5 mins. Dough should be soft and non-sticky

3. Tightly wrap the dough in plastic wrap and rest it in the refrigerator

4. Boil 4 cups of water

5. Add dried anchovies and kelp

6. Boil high and then turn the stove to medium-low to simmer for 10-15mins

7. Dice your veggies into bite sizes. I cut the potato in cubes for faster cooking.

8. Remove the dried anchovies and kelp with a strainer

9. Add your veggies, fish sauce, and soy sauce

10. Boil until potato cubes are soft

11. Take out your dough and knead it 5 times

12. Gently stretch your dough and break off long thin pieces of dough into the pot. Be careful, it may splash!

13. Add however much noodle you want - I usually add about 15 pieces because I really like it

14. Boil until the noodles float to the top. You can also cut a piece in half to see if it's cooked (no specs of dough!)

15. Drizzle sesame seed oil and sprinkle Korean red pepper flakes for a bit of spicy flavor

16. Pour it into a bowl and enjoy!

Left-Over Dough: Wrap remaining dough tightly in plastic wrap, put it in the refrigerator, and use it in 2 days
