Cooking tips

  • Shaving the burdock root like a pencil helps release more flavor into the broth.
  • Adding lotus root or radish also tastes great.
  • Sesame oil and perilla oil have low smoke points, but the small amount used and gentle low-heat stir-frying prevent burning. If concerned, substitute with olive oil.

Recommended for

  • those seeking a winter nourishing dish.
  • doenjang-guk lovers.
  • those wanting a healthy soup.
