Spicy Noodle Soup, Jjampong-style

Connie Veneracion
A bit sour and mildly hot, this easy spicy noodle soup, Jjampong-style, uses powdered dashi for the broth instead of boiling shellfish with kelp. In lieu of pork and shellfish, this soup has mushrooms. In short, except for the fish-based dashi, this is a meatless dish.

Notes

What kind of noodles would be good for this dish? Any kind, really, except those meant for dry dishes. I used soba because that was what I had. If you don’t have soba and aren’t sure which noodles can go into hot soup, read what’s written in the noodle’s package.
The level of sourness and heat can be adjusted to the suit the taste. Just use more or less vinegar-based chili sauce (available in Korean groceries), then adjust the amount of salt to achieve the desired contrast.
