This is an update to the previous post Has anyone used green tea for broth (soondubu jjigae)??

The comments were kind of wild! Reactions were:

  • I've never heard of that!
  • Was the chef Korean?
  • Are you sure you don't mean Japanese ochazuke
  • That would never work
  • The person was obviously joking

I mentioned seeing it on YouTube years ago when watching a recipe video for Soondubu jjigae. Several people asked for the source.

Found it:

"It's time to add liquid, and I'm adding two cups of water, but it's healthier if you add green tea, or vegetable stock."
