Traditional Lunar New Year soup for Koreans, for whom having a bowl of this soup equals aging one more year.

Based loosely off of a celebrity chef’s recipe, my version features soy protein, dried shiitake mushrooms, and chickpea “egg"s.

No meat, no eggs, includes fish sauce.

Classic warm and spicy Korean comfort food, awesome for a winter day.

To make Maangchi’s recipe vegan, you can replace the entirety of spam and sausages with plant based hot dog sausages (the bland type without any herbs and spices) and an entire package of firm tofu. For the broth, use more kombu and shiitake in place of anchovies and pork, and for kimchi use vegan kimchi. Add 1-2 tbsp sesame oil at the very end because this would not have any oil, unlike the meaty version.

My version included anchovies in the broth and fish sauce in the kimchi.
