Recipe

Add 400ml of water and 150g of ground beef to a pot.
Turn on the heat and use a spoon or spatula to break up the meat so it doesn't clump together.
When the water comes to a boil, add 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1 tbsp Jin-ganjang, 1 tbsp sugar, and 1/2 tsp Miwon.
Boil vigorously over high heat for exactly 5 minutes to reduce and let the beef absorb the seasoning.
Turn off the heat, transfer to an airtight container, and let cool to finish.

Put water and ground beef in a pot and break up the meat so it doesn't clump.
Add soy sauce, garlic, sugar, and Miwon, then boil vigorously over high heat for 5 minutes.
Let cool and use as a porridge topping or side dish.

Cooking tips

Because ground beef is used, there's no need to simmer for a long time—5 minutes is enough for the broth and seasoning to develop.
The finished jangjorim liquid also works wonderfully as a natural seasoning soy sauce for porridge or bibimbap.

Recommended for

Busy modern people who find long-simmered jangjorim too troublesome.
Those who want to quickly make a sweet and savory beef topping for porridge or rice bowls.
