  3. Toast the dried pollock strips over a flame until they are golden brown and slightly charred. This process concentrates the sweetness.

  4. Place half of the toasted pollock into the pressure cooker with the sautéed potatoes.
    * The original recipe uses toasted pollock heads and bones, but since those are hard to find abroad, we will use the toasted strips instead.
  5. Add the kelp (or broth pack) and spring onions. Pour in the rice water, close the lid, and bring to a boil.
    Start on high heat, and once it begins to boil, reduce to low heat and simmer for over 30 minutes.

  9. Add the sautéed pollock back into the main pot/cooker and pour in all of the broth. Boil until the flavor of the pollock is fully infused into the soup.
    Keep the lid closed and boil over medium heat until the broth turns milky white.

  10. Once fully cooked, finish by seasoning with salt.
    You can adjust the amount of salt based on how much the broth has evaporated and your personal preference.
