Striker Chef's Kkotgalbi Yookjeon and Minari Muchim

A fantastic combination of tender yookjeon made from sweet and savory seasoned kkotgalbi and a tangy-sweet minari salad.

🙋 Recommended for

  • Those who want to make an elegant yookjeon easily without complicated marinating steps.
  • Those looking for a great drinking snack with fragrant and tangy vegetable salad.

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 1 pack seasoned kkotgalbi meat
  • 2 eggs
  • All-purpose flour as needed
  • 1 handful of minari
  • 1/2 green onion
  • 5 perilla leaves
  • Seasoned vegetable salad dressing as needed
  • Napa cabbage kimchi as needed
  • A little cooking oil

Recipe 🍳

  1. Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and whisk gently without adding any salt.
  2. Lightly coat the thawed seasoned kkotgalbi meat with flour on both sides, shake off excess, then generously dip into the beaten eggs.
  3. Add cooking oil to a pan and place the meat over medium-low heat (not too high).
  4. Cook until the egg coating is golden brown, browning one side and just setting the egg on the other side to preserve the meat's juices.
  5. Wash minari, green onions, and perilla leaves, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
  6. Add seasoned vegetable salad dressing to the prepared vegetables and toss gently to avoid wilting.
  7. Place the well-cooked yookjeon on a plate and serve with the tangy minari salad and well-fermented napa cabbage kimchi.
  1. Without adding salt, beat the eggs and coat the meat with flour and egg mixture in sequence.
  2. Preheat a pan over medium-low heat and fry the yookjeon until golden brown without burning the egg coating.
  3. Slice minari, green onions, and perilla leaves, and gently toss with seasoned vegetable salad dressing.
  4. Serve the yookjeon together with minari salad and kimchi on a plate.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Since the meat is already seasoned, cooking over high heat may burn it; the key is to cook gently over medium-low heat.
  • After coating with flour, let it sit in the egg mixture for a moment so the flour and egg adhere smoothly without separating.
