Steps To Make Sujebi
1. Slice Them Out
Take 200 grams of potatoes, 50 grams of onions, 75 grams of carrots, 100 grams of zucchini, and one clove of garlic. Peel them off, dice them into cube-sized pieces, and keep them aside for further processing.
2. Dough For The Noodles
Add flour, cornstarch, and salt in a medium bowl. Now gradually add the water to it while mixing it until a rough dough forms.
Knead the rough dough for about 5 minutes until it sticks together firmly, smoothly, and elastic. Wrap the noodle dough with a cling wrap and refrigerate it for 2 hours.
3. Preparation For The Soup
Start boiling the Korean soup stock over medium-high heat in a medium-sized saucepan. Now add peeled and diced potato and onion for about 10 minutes.
While boiling the soup, place a water bowl next to the stove. You will need water to stretch and pull the dough easily, and it will help make the dough flakes thin.
4. Flake Off The Noodles
Take out the dough from the fridge. Pull off the part of the dough in one hand and use your thumb and index finger to flatten it. Pull the slices of the dough, stretch and thin it, and then drop it into the boiled soup.
Add the soy sauce, salt, minced garlic, carrots, and zucchini to a boiling soup. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are cooked but not too tender.
Once the noodles are cooked, serve them hot and garnish them with slices of onions.
