Ingredients: 4 ounces mung bean sprouts; 7 ounces soft tofu, drained; 2 ounces dangmyeon (Korean sweet potato noodles); 8 ounces ground pork; 4 ounces ground beef; 4 ounces Korean chives, chopped (about 1 cup chopped); 2 teaspoons mirin; 2 teaspoons soy sauce; 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil; 1 teaspoon fish sauce; Kosher salt; Two 14-ounce packages round dumpling wrappers; Four 4-inch squares dasima; 40 dasima anchovies (large dried anchovies for soup or stock; about 3 ounces); 1 cup dried shrimp (about 4 ounces); 4 scallions, dark green parts sliced on the bias, white and light green parts left whole; 1 onion, skin-on, halved; 1/2 Korean radish (about 8 ounces); 2 teaspoons fish sauce; 1 teaspoon soy sauce; Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper; 6 large eggs, beaten

Directions

For the dumplings: Prepare an ice bath and bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Blanch the bean sprouts until slightly softened and crunchy, about 1 minute; transfer to the ice bath. (Do not discard the boiling water.) Drain the bean sprouts, then transfer them to a piece of cheesecloth or a kitchen towel and wring dry, removing as much water as possible. Chop the bean sprouts finely and add to a large bowl. In the same cheesecloth or kitchen towel, wring dry the tofu. Add the tofu to the bowl with the bean sprouts.
Add the dangmyeon to a medium bowl and pour the reserved boiling water over the noodles to soak until pliable and translucent, about 10 minutes. Drain the noodles and let cool until ready to handle; chop finely and add to the same large bowl. Add the pork, beef, chives, mirin, soy sauce, sesame oil, fish sauce and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and mix to combine. (This is a loose and crumbly filling.)
Line a baking sheet with parchment. Set the dumpling wrappers nearby with the floured surface facing down; place a small bowl of water next to them. Spoon about a scant tablespoon of the filling in the center of a wrapper. Wet the edge of the wrapper with water using your finger and fold and seal the circle in half like a taco. Cover with a slightly damp towel to keep from drying out. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers. Transfer the dumplings to the freezer while preparing the broth.
For the broth: Fill a 10- to 12-quart stockpot three-quarters full with water (about 8 quarts). Add the dasima and let soak until it doubles in size and the water turns a slight green-yellow, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, remove the heads of the dasima anchovies and split them in half along the spines to remove the black innards.
Bring the dasima pot to a boil over medium-high heat; boil until the dasima starts to foam around the sides, 1 to 2 minutes. Discard the dasima, then add the anchovies, dried shrimp, scallion whites, onion and radish. Bring back to a boil, then lower the heat to medium low and cook at a gentle boil with a lid on (where you see 3 to 4 bubbles appearing on the surface at most) until some broth has evaporated and the remaining broth is slightly darker, about 50 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer and add the broth back to the same pot. Season with the fish sauce, soy sauce, 2 teaspoons salt and a few cracks of freshly ground pepper. (If additional seasoning is needed, season to taste with salt as the soy sauce will darken the broth too much.)
At this point, you can cool down half of the broth and freeze it and along with half the dumplings for a later date (make sure to keep the broth and dumplings in separate containers).
Bring the broth to a boil, gently drop in the dumplings and cook until the dumplings float to the top, the filling is opaque and the wrappers are translucent, about 8 minutes. (Dumplings that are frozen solid may take longer.) Pour the beaten egg over the soup, close the lid immediately and turn off the heat. Let sit until the eggs are cooked through, about 1 minute. Add the reserved scallion greens and serve immediately.
