Fried fish cake Tang (어묵탕) is a street food in Korea. This warm tasty soup is especially good in the cold winter. This soup tastes even better with some Korean snacks like ddeokbokki or kimbap. Try this easy and delicious soup with your family someday. Thanks. 😀

hi Jeanette,
You are very welcome. I’m happy to meet you. Happy near year..:)
Hi Aeri,
Can I replace sea salt with table salt? If so, how much should I use?
Thank you and I love your videos!
hi Lisa,
I will say just use same amount of salt.. 1/8 tsp salt..since it’s not that much.. and you can always adjust the amount of saltiness depending on your flavor.. after add that salt.. if it’s too salty for you.. add some water.. hehe thanks 🙂
Hi Aeri,
I’d really like to try this someday. When I was in Korea, I didn’t get to try this so really do want to know how it is. Seems to be a really popular stall snack?
And please please, can you put up a recipe for mool neng myun??

I love fish cake soup. This was so delicious. I’m a big soup and stew fan. Can you name/post some more everyday korean soups? Ones that are commonly eaten at home like 무 국.

Okay I will add it to my list.. hehe thanks 😀
Tried this recipe. Absolutely delicious! Thank you!
Tried the recipe and absolutely loving it. I live in Minnesota where you don’t see a lot of Korean restaurants, glad that I found your website. Thank you for the great recipe ^^
HI Aeri: I finally found out what was the street food which people in Korean drama were eating. It was this one. It looks like yummy! It would be fun to try it out. Thank you again, for this interesting recipe.
Hi aeri i love your receipes. I have a question is it necessary to use the kelp? Can I use something else as a substitue? Thank you for all your yummy receipes.
hi Julie Dunham,
It gives a little flavor for the broth..but it’s not critical..so you can skip it.
Hi Aeri,
I’d like to make this soup but I don’t have Korean radish or daikon. What could I use instead ?

hi Cassandre,
That gives good flavor to the soup..but if you do not have, you have to skip it and just use rest of the ingredients for the broth. 🙂
