Cooking tips 💡

• Sautéing the beef short ribs with finely minced onions enhances the natural sweetness of the onions and blends it with the rich fat of the beef, creating a deeper, more complex broth.
• Adding 1/2 tablespoon of sugar during sautéing helps reduce the sharp tanginess of fresh kimchi, balancing the overall flavor.
• To complement the richness of beef with a clean, refreshing umami depth, use shrimp paste and anchovy fish sauce instead of regular soy sauce for final seasoning.
