Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Thinly slice the 1 cup radish and 1 medium carrot into matchsticks. If your kimchi is in large pieces, chop it into bite-size pieces.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tsp sesame oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the kimchi, radish, and carrot; sauté until the kimchi is fragrant and the vegetables start to soften, about 3 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in 4 cups vegetable broth and 1 tbsp soy sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the radish is tender, about 10 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or extra soy sauce if needed. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onion if you have it.
