Recipe 🍳

  1. In a pot, add 3 tablespoons of beef suet fat and 4 tablespoons of gochugaru over low heat, stirring gently until the gochujang oil forms without burning.
  2. Once the aroma of the gochujang oil rises, add 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of minced garlic, a little minced ginger, and 2 tablespoons of squid sauce to create the seasoning base.
  3. Add large slices of green onion, dried fernbrake, and beef short rib generously, and stir-fry thoroughly with the gochujang oil.
  4. Once all ingredients are well combined, pour in 1.5L of water and add 1 tablespoon of beef dashi, then simmer slowly until the broth becomes rich and deep.
  5. Finally, add plenty of clean bean sprouts and cook gently until they just lose their rawness, then serve.
  1. Fry beef suet fat and gochugaru over low heat to make gochujang oil.
  2. Mix soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and squid sauce to prepare the yukegjang seasoning.
  3. Add green onion, dried fernbrake, and beef short rib to the gochujang oil and stir-fry.
  4. Pour in water and adjust seasoning with beef dashi, then simmer deeply.
  5. Add bean sprouts at the end and lightly boil to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Using beef suet fat (also known as suet) brings back the rich, savory depth and umami missing when regular oil is used.
  • When making gochujang oil, keep the heat at medium-low—high heat will cause bitterness.
