Recipe 🍳
- 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.
- 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.
- Prepare the vegetables and garnishes for the hot pot—thinly slice cucumber, pear, mushrooms, and water dropwort neatly.
- Arrange the prepared cucumber, pear, mushrooms, and water dropwort evenly on the bottom of a wide, shallow hot pot.
- Lay the thinly sliced sujeong beef on top of the vegetables in an appealing manner.
- 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.
- 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.

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.
