Light but Rich Broth #PerillaSeedKalguksu — I turned down the brightness in the photo and it became a gloomy-looking perilla noodle soup.

For posting, I photograph and film the finished breakfast, and 'light' has an absolute influence at that moment. Even at the same time of day, with the same breakfast, the light coming into the house varies hugely with the weather and season.

An approx. 230kcal light but rich-broth #perillaseedkalguksu made with tofu noodles I turned down the brightness in the photo and it became a gloomy-looking perilla noodle soup.

2 shiitake mushrooms, 1/2 scallion, 1 pack tofu noodles, 3T ground perilla seeds, 1T tuna sauce (chamchiaek), 1 sheet lunchbox seaweed, 1t seafood dashida

1. Boil 600ml water and add the magic powder that gives a rich seafood-flavored broth. 2. Add 2 shiitake mushrooms, scallion, and the wide tofu noodles, and simmer about 5 more minutes. 3. Add ground perilla seeds and 1T tuna sauce, stir well, then ladle into a bowl. Just before eating, top with a sheet of lunchbox seaweed and a bit more ground perilla seeds.
