A traditional summer banchan, Korean cucumber soup (Oi Naengguk) is renowned for its tangy, rejuvenating flavour. Best enjoyed cold, this soup has a subtle savoury-sour broth that brings out the cucumber's inherent sweetness and crunch. Originating in Korean home cooking, this cooling and refreshing light meal is perfect for hot summers in India as well. This naturally vegan and gluten-free option is a delightful, flavourful addition to any meal or an intelligent choice for a fusion menu starter.
