Baek Jong-won's 20-Minute Yukgaejang

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.
