Korean Noodle Soup (Guksu: 국수)

Today I’m going to show you my version of guksu (국수), a simple and delicious noodle soup, and one of my all-time favorites and go-to regular meals. My version is spicy and savory. I always have kimchi and anchovies on hand, so it’s something that I can always make quickly for lunch, or when people suddenly come over.

kreisquadrat I’ve never even tasted kimchi but I want to make it! I started following a Korean foodie channel a year ago but until I found this channel recently I would never have dreamed of attempting Korean cooking. But now that I’ve found such a wonderful teacher I will. First I’ll start with something simple. Time to go to find a Korean grocery store!

[@metalheadmaidenue6505]

[@RosCCkpg]

I don't know about other people but your videos are Therapeutic for me, I always watch 1 or 2 of your videos and I am relaxed and not overthinking about my business so my brain is ready to sleep. Your energy is just happy and relaxing, feels like a friend is talking to me directly and teaching me how to cook Korean food (my ultimate favourite food) Thank you so much Maangchi

heating the noodles back up with broth and then pouring it out and then refill bowl with hot stock again... very nice touch. i know a lot of cooking trix(hence the name) and this is new to me. i used to dip them in boiling water before use. i like this a lot and it is my new way. the sieve in the pot to filter is a good one too. thank you

[@ginaC53]

I really like it when you talk about your mom. I can tell you one thing about my mom: she always makes me wash vegetables in the packaging, then use the water to water the plants and then you can throw away the packaging and cook the vegetables. So, whenever she starts cooking, she always calls me to open the front door so she can run outside with the dripping vegetables to water the plants. :D

You rock girl! This Iowa farm boy started out making your kimchi a few years ago and through your videos I have developed a great love for Korean cooking. Thankfully there are a few Asian markets in my are where the necessary ingredients are available. I've duplicated your recipes and have turned on a few friends to the delights of Korean food. This soup looks so darned tasty! I will be making it this fall.

[@TheKatlnelson]

Maangchi, I am a huge fan of yours. I get all my friends and co-workers to watch your videos because I make your recipes and take the food to work. When others smell it they want to know how I made it. I tell them to "watch Maangchi, she's the best." Thank you for sharing your knowledge and inspiration.

[@tishasomeone9141]

I don't think everyone realises just how spicy that red pepper paste is. It's not like regular American hot sauces, it's totally different. And she put A LOT in her dipping bowl. She's a strong woman who's used to the spice! c:

[@JithinJohn074]

+Tisha Herrera When she used to mention spicy red pepper flakes or the Gochujang i thought it was really spicy.. i am an Indian therefore, a big fan of spicy food and love to try spicy things from other cuisines.. I tried the hot pepper powder and the paste in my cooking.. it is actually mild and even has a mild sweetness to it.. chilli powder from India used in Indian cooking is actually a lot hotter(spicier).. but i guess the heat tolerance must be different for different palates and cultures...

[@JithinJohn074]

+Tisha Herrera and aren't american hot sauces mostly sour from the vinegar with a little spice?

[@tishasomeone9141]

Jithin John Woah! Wait, so it's America's spicy food that isn't *that* spicy? I guess. Our spicy food has a kick, but there is a lot of sour bite to it too. So basically, yes. :c You guys must have the spiciest of all foods then. Oh America.lol

[@JithinJohn074]

LOL yup ... Indian food in American restaurants isn't spicy because without a warning most americans wouldn't be able to handle the heat :D yes the hot sauces are basically mostly sour and a little spicy. Most savoury things in Indian food have spice added to them, and unlike just the heat and the mouth puckering sourness that we usually experience from hot sauces, Indian food has a lot of flavor along with the heat.. and I think my tolerance for heat is very high because our everyday meals are generally spicy :) If u can handle the heat, you should try authentic Indian food :) and to counteract the heat, our desserts are small and quite sweet :D

[@Minsooky]

Funny because it's not hot enough for me lol.

Brilliant way of cooking the egg. Never seen before. Usually you drop the egg in the water and cook it but this is amazing. Saves a lot of resources of using separate pot to make the poached egg. You are an amazing chef.

In 1981 I visited Pusan Korea (twice actually) and being the foodie I've always been I went exploring various restaurants there. Ate stuff I had no idea what they were or even how to make them. some things (Bulgogi for instance) I could make educated guesses and approximate at home. Watching your videos has been like going down memory lane for me. I now know what some of the things I could not identify then are now and better yet I now understand how to make them. Thank you for that.
