What is actually in sujebi soup?
The defining ingredient is wheat-flour dough stretched or torn by hand into irregular pieces and cooked in broth. The broth commonly uses anchovy and kelp, while potatoes, zucchini, and onions are optional additions that vary by recipe.

Sujebi has regional and household variations rather than one fixed ingredient list. One cook may add potatoes and zucchini, while another may focus on an anchovy and kelp broth.
What gives sujebi its distinctive texture?
The texture comes from wheat dough that is stretched and torn by hand before it is cooked. Because the pieces are irregular, each bite can have a different thickness.
