Baek Jong-won's 20-Minute Yukgaejang

Instead of the traditional method of simmering meat for a long time, this quick yukgaejang achieves a deep and spicy broth in just 20 minutes by stir-frying beef and green onions in sesame oil to create fresh chili oil.

Cooking tips

  • Gochugaru can burn easily when stir-fried, so have the water ready nearby and proceed quickly.
  • After adding water, scrape the bottom of the pot well with a spatula to dissolve the concentrated flavors stuck to the bottom and prevent burning.
  • Stirring immediately after adding the egg mixture will make the broth cloudy. Letting it sit undisturbed until the egg is softly cooked is the secret to a clear broth.
  • If the glass noodles are not soaked enough, they will absorb all the broth. Make sure to soak them for at least 30 minutes.
  • For a perfectly balanced, popular umami flavor, consider adding about half a tablespoon of beef Dashida during the final salt seasoning step.
