Notes
SUBSTITUTION TIP: If you don’t have or can’t find anchovy powder, then you can use a traditional anchovy broth instead of the water. If you can’t find the ingredients for that broth either, you can substitute chicken, beef, or vegetable broth.
SUBSTITUTION TIP: You can use miso paste (fermented soybean paste) instead of doenjang in this soup, substitute beef for the clams, or use kale or Swiss chard in place of the spinach.
