A duruchigi (stir-fry) made by first frying the fatty beef brisket beyond 80% until crispy, then stir-frying with aged kimchi and a sweet-spicy sauce until the sauce is reduced.

🙋 Recommended for

  • For those who want to try a different beef stir-fry dish instead of the usual pork jeyuk bokkeum
  • For those who enjoy the heavy harmony of spicy seasoning and rich meat oil

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 200g frozen beef brisket
  • 1 cup aged kimchi
  • 5 perilla leaves
  • 1 tbsp gochujang
  • 1 tbsp gochugaru
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 0.5 tbsp minced garlic

Recipe 🍳

  1. Mix gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, sugar, and minced garlic to make a spicy duruchigi seasoning sauce.
  2. Cut the aged kimchi into bite-sized pieces. Julienne the perilla leaves thickly to add aroma and set aside.
  3. Place the beef brisket in a pan without oil and stir-fry, stirring to prevent sticking, until cooked.
  4. When the meat is about 80% cooked and enough oil has rendered, pour in the prepared sauce.
  5. As the sauce can burn, adjust the heat and toss the meat, letting the sauce reduce on the bottom.
  6. Add the cut kimchi and stir-fry over high heat until the sauce is well absorbed and reduced completely.
  7. Just before turning off the heat, add the julienned perilla leaves, lightly toss to infuse flavor, and finish.
  1. Make the gochujang seasoning sauce with the listed ingredients, and cut the kimchi and perilla leaves.
  2. In an oil-free pan, stir-fry the beef brisket until about 80% cooked.
  3. Add the seasoning sauce and kimchi in order, stir-fry until reduced completely, then mix in the perilla leaves at the end.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Since the seasoning sauce has some moisture, there is little risk of burning the pan bottom, making it good for stewing-style stir-frying.
  • The perilla leaves added at the end cut through the greasiness of the brisket and balance the flavor.
  • Depending on preference, adding onion or green onion can give a more satisfying texture.
