Recipe 🍳

  1. Place the beef brisket, after removing blood residue, into a pot with green onion, onion, and chili pepper. Add water and simmer for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
  2. Remove the cooked brisket, let it cool slightly, then thinly slice it into pieces for sujeong (braised meat). Reserve the remaining broth for use as stock.
  3. Prepare the vegetables and garnishes for the hot pot—thinly slice cucumber, pear, mushrooms, and water dropwort neatly.
  4. Arrange the prepared cucumber, pear, mushrooms, and water dropwort evenly on the bottom of a wide, shallow hot pot.
  5. Lay the thinly sliced sujeong beef on top of the vegetables in an appealing manner.
  6. Season the reserved broth with salt and pepper (add a little seasoning if desired), then pour it into the hot pot until just covered. Bring to a boil.
  7. Top with boiled buckwheat noodles and boiled eggs as garnish. Serve with a dipping sauce made by mixing soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar, and enjoy dipping the sujeong and vegetables.
  1. Simmer beef brisket with green onion, onion, and chili pepper for 1 hour and 30 minutes to make broth and sujeong.
  2. Thinly slice the beef and prepare vegetables and pear.
  3. Layer vegetables in the hot pot, place sujeong on top, then pour seasoned broth and bring to a boil.
  4. Add buckwheat noodles and boiled eggs as garnish, and finish with the dipping sauce.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Adding pear and cucumber to the hot pot broth gives it a refreshing, crisp quality similar to Pyongyang cold noodle toppings, along with a deep, savory flavor.
  • Use the brisket cut specifically for sujeong—it ensures a perfect balance of chewiness and tenderness, and yields a richer, more flavorful broth.
