👨‍🍳 조리법

1. 1

   In a large pot, whisk together the yogurt and water (or milk) until smooth. If the yogurt is very thick, you may need a bit more liquid to reach a soup-like consistency.

   💡 전문가 팁: Using room temperature yogurt and liquid helps prevent curdling.
2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk. Gradually add a ladleful of the yogurt mixture to the egg yolk, whisking constantly to temper it. Then, pour the tempered egg yolk mixture back into the pot with the rest of the yogurt.

   💡 전문가 팁: Tempering the egg yolk prevents it from scrambling when added to the hot soup.
3. 3

   Place the pot over medium-low heat. Stir constantly, bringing the soup to a gentle simmer. Do not boil, as this can cause the yogurt to curdle. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the soup has thickened slightly.

   💡 전문가 팁: Low and slow heat is key to a smooth, non-curdled yogurt soup.
4. 4

   Stir in the cooked rice or barley, chopped dill, parsley, and cilantro. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

   💡 전문가 팁: Add the herbs towards the end of cooking to preserve their fresh flavor and vibrant color.
5. 5

   Continue to simmer gently for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. If the soup becomes too thick, add a little more water or milk.

   💡 전문가 팁: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
6. 6

   Serve the dovga hot or cold, garnished with fresh mint if desired.

   💡 전문가 팁: This soup is often served as a light meal or a starter.
