  • People who want to achieve deep, restaurant-quality broth flavor quickly using store-bought powder.

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • water 2L
  • galbitang powder 2 tablespoons
  • ginseng 1 root
  • shabu-shabu beef as needed
  • green onion as needed
  • a pinch of seasoning salt

Recipe 🍳

  1. Pour 2L of water into a pot and add 2 tablespoons of galbitang powder, stirring well to dissolve. (Use 1 tablespoon per 1L of water.)
  2. Cut the ginseng into pieces and add it to the broth to enhance its herbal aroma while simmering.
  3. While the broth is boiling, pre-place sliced green onions and shabu-shabu beef on a clay pot or bowl.
  4. After simmering for about 4 minutes, taste the broth and adjust seasoning with a small amount of seasoning salt if needed.
  5. Pour the bubbling hot galbitang broth directly over the beef and green onions in the clay pot to gently cook the meat.
  6. Finally, place a piece of ginseng on top of the broth to finish with an elegant, high-end restaurant appearance.
  1. Dissolve galbitang powder in water.
  2. Add ginseng and simmer the broth for about 4 minutes.
  3. Pre-place thin shabu-shabu beef and green onions in a bowl or clay pot.
  4. Adjust final seasoning with seasoning salt.
  5. Pour hot broth over the beef in the bowl to cook it.
  6. Top with ginseng as garnish to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Since thin shabu-shabu beef is used, there's no need to boil it long in the pot—simply pouring the boiling broth over it in the serving dish is enough to cook it tenderly.
  • Adding a single piece of ginseng as garnish lets you achieve a professional-grade restaurant look at minimal cost.
