How to make it

  1. 1

    Draw the chili oil

    Coat the pot with 2¼ Tbsp of cooking oil and sauté 2¼ Tbsp of gochugaru, ½ Tbsp of hot gochugaru, and 1¼ Tbsp of soy sauce over low heat to make chili oil.

  2. 2

    Add the garlic

    Add 2¼ Tbsp of minced garlic and stir it in well.

  3. 3

    Add the water in stages

    Add 4¾ cups of water in six additions. Pour in the first; once it starts to boil, add the beef, radish, and green onions, and each time it comes back to a boil, pour in the next.

    · Adding the water in stages as it boils is what makes the broth rich.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Once all the water is in and it comes back to a boil, simmer it 10 minutes more.

  5. 5

    Add the mushrooms

    Add the oyster mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms and keep it simmering.

  6. 6

    Season

    Season with 1¼ Tbsp of beef dasida and ½ Tbsp of sand lance fish sauce.

  7. 7

    Finish

    Sprinkle on black pepper, then finish with chopped green onions and tangpa. If you have mung bean sprouts, lay them on as a garnish.

You can fix this

If it hasn't burned or stuck to the pan, it can still be fixed.

  • Too salty? Add more water or stock. A block of tofu or a potato will soak up the salt.
