Cooking tips

  • If the radish has a strong bitter taste, like summer radish, adding a very small amount of sugar (about half a tablespoon) can help soften the bitterness.
  • When using thick or tough cuts of meat like brisket or shank, allow more time for simmering to tenderize the meat and extract flavor into the broth.
  • Adding one or two tablespoons of fish sauce can create a much deeper and richer umami flavor compared to using only soy sauce.
  • Skimming off the foam that forms during boiling right away can discard the flavors of sesame oil and meat, so it's best to skim it off at the end when the broth is fully infused.
  • You can add sliced mushrooms (king oyster, shiitake, button) or whisk in beaten eggs at the end to create a different kind of soup.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a warm and refreshing soup to warm their bodies on a cold day.
  • Those who want to make a beef and radish soup with a deep umami flavor that soy sauce alone cannot provide.
  • Those who want to prepare a satisfying home-cooked meal using beef and radish without fail.
