Recipe 🍳
- Trim the beef short ribs of excess fat and soak in cold water to remove blood. Pat dry.
- Heat a generous amount of oil in a pan over high heat. Sear the short ribs until golden brown and a Maillard reaction occurs, then remove.
- In the same pan, add water, soy sauce, sugar, and corn syrup. Add scallion roots, cheongyang chili peppers, and whole garlic cloves. Boil for 5 minutes, then strain the sauce through a sieve, discarding the solids.
- Return the clear sauce to the pan, add the seared short ribs, and simmer on low heat for about 2 hours until the meat is tender.
- Cut scallions, carrot, onion, and shiitake mushrooms into large bite-sized pieces. Soak the glass noodles in water beforehand.
- When the ribs are tender, add the carrot first and cook. Then add the soaked glass noodles and gochugaru, adjusting the sweet and spicy balance.
- Add the remaining vegetables and crushed garlic. Simmer until the sauce is reduced, then turn off the heat. Drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with black pepper to finish.

Cooking tips 💡
- Instead of boiling the ribs directly in the seasoning, searing them in oil first locks in the juices and greatly enhances the flavor.
- Using a clear sauce boiled with scallion roots and cheongyang chili peppers as the base effectively removes any gamey taste and adds depth.
- Do not use gochujang (fermented chili paste) as it makes the sauce thick and muddy; use only gochugaru for a clean, sharp spiciness.
