Kal guksu in Korean translates to knife (kal) noodle soup (guk su). The noodles are easily made from scratch and served with a umami filled broth. —Miss Hangrypants

  • 1/4 cup potato starch

  2. Knead dough again for a couple of minutes and it should be smooth. Dust counter with flour and roll out into a rough circle 1/16inch thick. Spread some flour over the rolled out dough and make a inward fold from the end about 2 inch deep. fold that over until you reach the top (about 4-5rolls). This is like rolling sushi but folding.

  4. For the zucchini and carrots, Slice into matchsticks. Thinly slice potato into rounds and the onion into half moons.
  5. In a large pot, boil water with kelp and anchovies. After 5 mins, take out the kelp. After 10 mins, take out the anchovies.
  6. Lower the heat medium-low. Add the potatoes and when it starts becoming transparent around the borders, add the noodles (shake off excess flour), carrots, onion and zucchini. Cook for about 3-5 mins and serve. (add a pinch of salt)
  7. The noodles is usually served with a sauce on the side to mix in. Sauce ingredients: 3 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp fish sauce, 1 stalk green onion chopped, 1/2 tsp Korean chili pepper, 1/2 tsp minced garlic, 1 tsp sesame oil, sesame seeds
