Jung Ho-young's Beef Short Plate Galbitang

An ultra-simple galbitang-style soup that builds deep broth flavor in just 7 minutes by sautéing thinly sliced beef short plate for rich savory fat.

🙋 Recommended for

  • Anyone who finds traditional galbitang too time-consuming because of the long soaking and simmering process
  • People who want a rich, meaty broth with minimal ingredients and very little cooking time

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • thinly sliced beef short plate (woosamgyeop) 200g
  • water 600ml
  • oyster sauce 1 tablespoon
  • tuna sauce 1 tablespoon
  • mirin 1 tablespoon
  • minced garlic 0.5 tablespoon
  • green onion 1 stalk
  • soaked glass noodles as needed
  • salt 0.3 tablespoon
  • garlic chives a little

Recipe 🍳

  1. Cut the green onion into large diagonal pieces and cut the garlic chives into bite-size lengths.
  2. Soak the glass noodles in warm water before cooking.
  3. Add just a very small amount of cooking oil to a pot, then add 200g of thinly sliced beef short plate.
  4. Separate the beef with chopsticks as it cooks, and sauté until the savory beef fat renders out.
  5. When the beef is lightly browned and has released its fat, pour in 600ml of water.
  6. Once the broth comes to a boil, add 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon tuna sauce, 1 tablespoon mirin, and 0.5 tablespoon minced garlic.
  7. Skim off the foam cleanly with a spoon and simmer for about 5 more minutes to deepen the broth.
  8. Taste the broth, then season with 0.3 tablespoon salt or adjust to your preference.
  9. Add the green onion and pre-soaked glass noodles, then boil briefly until the noodles turn translucent.
  10. Finish with garlic chives, turn off the heat, and serve in a bowl.
  1. Sauté thinly sliced beef short plate until lightly browned, then add water and bring it to a boil.
  2. Season with oyster sauce, tuna sauce, mirin, and minced garlic, skimming off foam as the broth cooks.
  3. Adjust with salt, then add green onion, glass noodles, and garlic chives to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Thinly sliced beef short plate releases plenty of fat, so use only enough cooking oil to keep the meat from sticking to the pot at the beginning.
  • Skim off foam and excess oil carefully as the soup boils so the broth tastes clean rather than heavy.
  • Soak the glass noodles well in warm water before cooking so they do not absorb too much broth in the pot.
